Introduction: He aha ka lio Westphalian?
ʻO nā lio Westphalian kahi ʻano o nā lio pumehana i puka mai ma Westphalia, kahi ʻāina ma Kelemānia. Ua mahalo nui ʻia kēia mau lio no ko lākou mākaukau pāʻani, hiʻohiʻona nani, a me ke ʻano maikaʻi. ʻIke ʻia nā lio Westphalian no ko lākou maʻalahi a hoʻohana ʻia i nā ʻano haʻuki holo lio, e like me ka lole, lele, a me nā hanana.
Moʻolelo: Ke kumu a me ka ulu ʻana o ka ʻano
Ua hoʻomaka ka ʻohana Westphalian i ka makahiki 1700 i ka wā i hoʻomaka ai ka poʻe mahiʻai kūloko ma ka ʻāina ʻo Westphalia e hele i kā lākou mau lio koʻikoʻi me nā lio māmā mai nā wahi ʻē aʻe. ʻO ka pahuhopu, ʻo ia ka hana ʻana i ka lio ikaika a paʻa no ka hana mahiʻai akā ʻo ka ʻeleu a me ka ʻaleʻale no ka holo lio. I ka hala ʻana o ka manawa, ua hoʻomaʻemaʻe hou ʻia ka pua ma o ka hoʻohui ʻana i nā laina koko mai Thoroughbreds a me nā ʻano pua wela ʻē aʻe.
I ka makahiki mua o 1900, ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka Westphalian Horse Breeding Association e hoʻolaha a hoʻomaikaʻi i ka ʻano. I kēia lā, hānai ʻia nā lio Westphalian a hānai ʻia ma Kelemania, akā kaulana pū lākou ma nā wahi ʻē aʻe o ka honua, ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa a me Kanada.
Nā ʻano: Nā ʻano kino a me ke ʻano o nā lio Westphalian
ʻO nā lio Westphalian ma waena o 15 a 17 mau lima ka lōʻihi a ʻo ke kaumaha ma waena o 1,100 a me 1,500 paona. He hiʻohiʻona maikaʻi a nani, me ke poʻo a me ka ʻāʻī i hoʻohālikelike pono ʻia a me ke kino haʻuki. Uaʻikeʻia nā lio Westphalian no ko lākouʻano maikaʻi a me keʻano maʻalahi, kahi i kaulana ai nā mea holo lio o nā pae a pau.
Hiki mai nā lio Westphalian i nā waihoʻoluʻu like ʻole, me ka bay, chestnut, ʻeleʻele, a me ka hina. He mau wāwae ikaika ko lākou, a ua kūpono hoʻi i nā ʻano haʻuki like ʻole, e like me ka lole, ka lele ʻana, a me ka hanana.
Hoʻohana: Mai ka lole a hiki i ka lele, ka versatility o ka pua
ʻO nā lio Westphalian he mea maʻalahi loa a hoʻohana ʻia i nā haʻuki like ʻole. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka ʻaʻahu, kahi e hoʻāʻo ʻia ai ko lākou haʻuki, ikaika, a me ke kaulike. Ua kaulana nā lio Westphalian i nā hanana lele, kahi i kūpono ai ko lākou hope ikaika a me ke ʻano maikaʻi no ka haʻuki.
Ma waho aʻe o ka ʻaʻahu a me ka lele ʻana, hoʻohana pū ʻia nā lio Westphalian i ka hanana hanana, kahi haʻuki e hui pū ai i ka lole, cross-country, a me ka lele. Hoʻohana ʻia lākou i nā ʻimi holo lio ʻē aʻe, e like me ka hahai holoholona, ka holo ʻana i ke ala, a me ka holo leʻaleʻa.
Hanau: ʻO ke kaʻina hana o ka hānau ʻana a me ke koho ʻana i nā lio Westphalian
ʻO ka hoʻoulu ʻana i nā lio Westphalian he hana koʻikoʻi e pili ana i ke koho ʻana i nā lio a me nā bipi wahine maikaʻi loa e hana i ka hanauna hou o nā lio. Mālama ka Westphalian Horse Breeding Association i kēia kaʻina hana, me ka hōʻoia ʻana e hoʻohana ʻia nā lio maikaʻi loa no ka hānau ʻana.
Ke koho ʻana i nā lio no ka hānau ʻana, nānā ka hui i nā ʻano kumu like ʻole, e like me ka conformation, temperament, a me ka hiki ke pāʻani. ʻO ka pahuhopu ka hana ʻana i nā lio ikaika, ʻeleu, a kūpono hoʻi i nā ʻano haʻuki holo lio.
Ka hopena: No ke aha i aloha ʻia ai nā lio Westphalian e nā poʻe holo holo a puni ka honua
Ua mahalo nui ʻia nā lio Westphalian no ko lākou haʻuki, nani, a me ke ʻano maikaʻi. He mau lio maʻalahi lākou e hiki ke lanakila ma nā ʻano haʻuki like ʻole, e hoʻolilo iā lākou i mea kaulana i nā poʻe holo lio a puni ka honua.
Inā he mea holo lole ʻoe e ʻimi nei i ka lio me ke kaulike a me ka lokomaikaʻi a i ʻole ka leʻaleʻa lele e ʻimi nei i ka lio me ka mana a me ka haʻuki, loaʻa i ka Westphalian breed kahi mea e hāʻawi ai. Me ko lākou mau kino ikaika, muscular a me ke ʻano maʻalahi, he hauʻoli maoli nā lio Westphalian i ka holo a nona.
