Eminyakeni eminingi eyedlule, ngaba nenhlanhla eyenele yokuya engqungqutheleni eqhutshwa nguDkt Robert M. Miller edolobheni laseNew Zealand iPalmerston North. Ukhulume ngenqubo yakhe yokuqeqeshelwa ukufaka amankonyane nezinyani ezisanda kuzalwa. Eminyakeni eminingi ayenza njengodokotela wezilwane ongumlimi, uMiller uthole ukuthi kunomehluko omkhulu phakathi kokuziphatha kwamahhashi amadala ahlangana nawo nezilwane lapho azalwa khona noma avakashelwa futhi elashwa khona maduze nje. Wabona ukuthi amahhashi axhumana nawo selokhu azalwa ambona njengengxenye yomhlambi, hhayi njengomfokazi. Imvamisa, babeze bangene emasimini beyombingelela uMiller, bambona nje.
Ngemuva kokucabangisisa isikhathi eside ukuthi kungani isimo sengqondo samahhashi athile kuye sihluke kakhulu (sengathi uyilungu lomndeni), uDkt Miller wakwazi ukuhlanganisa izingcezu ze-puzzle futhi wasungula into ehlanganisa zonke izilwane - umuntu wayekhona lapho kuzalwa esinye nesinye sazo. UMiller waqala ukuhlelela ezinye izivivinyo ezenziwa yizimbangi ngokuya kulokhu okutholwe. Waqala ukwenza amacebo athile ngezilwane ezisanda kuzalwa, kwaba sengathi wayezihlola endaweni kadokotela wezilwane: wezwa iminwe ngezindlebe zakhe, ukugeleza kwamakhala ne-anus, lapho enza inqubo yokulinganisa amazinga okushisa.
Impumelelo ebonakalayo yalokhu kuhlola kwamvumela ukuba azenzele eyakhe inqubo yokufakelwa, uMiller aqala ukuyisebenzisa ezinhlelweni zakhe zokuzalela. Usitshengise ividiyo lapho ebesebenza khona nezilwane azijwayele kusukela azalwa. Kwakungenakwenzeka ukuthi ungaboni ukuthi kukhona ukuxhumana phakathi kwabo. Uma unentshisekelo ngamahhashi (noma uphatha ezinye izilwane), ngingaqoma ukuthi uthenge incwadi ethi Imprint Training for Newborn Foals, ekhishwe yiWestern Rider (1991). Phezu kokuthi le ncwadi inikezelwe emahhashini, ngisebenzise izindlela eziningi ezichaziwe nezinja zami, manje sengizisebenzisa ezimbuzini zami. Ngempela, isikhathi esichithwe nami emahoreni okuqala angama-24 ngemuva kokuzalwa kwahlehliswa ukufakwa kobuchopho besilwane impilo yonke. Imbuzi ihlangabeze ngenjabulo lapho ngingena esibayeni, futhi yakhululeka ngokuphelele ezingalweni zami, yangivumela ukuthi ngenze noma yini ngayo.
Inqubo yangemva kokubeletha
Ukuze uqale inqubo yokufakelwa, kufanele ulinde kuze kube yilapho imbuzi izala bese iqala ukukhotha amazinyane. Njengoba uDkt Miller esebenza namahhashi, kungasaphathwa iqiniso lokuthi ungudokotela wezilwane onguchwepheshe, wazi kangcono kakhulu kunami lapho kufanele aqale ukuqeqeshwa kokumiswa. Encwadini yakhe, uncoma ukuqala ngokushesha ngemuva kokuzalwa, ngaphandle kokunika i-mare ithuba lokukhotha i-foal ihlanzekile. Ngincamela ukuvumela imvelo ithathe isikhathi sayo, bese ulinda kuze kube yilapho imbuzi ikhala i-cub ngokwayo.
Ukusula okusomile
Lapho ingane ikhohliswe ngokwengxenye ngumama (okungenani ikhanda nentamo), ungaqala ukuyisula ngethawula. Ngemuva kwalokho qala ukuthinta nokushaya lezi zindawo ngezandla zakho, uvumele isilwane ukuba sikhumbule iphunga lakho. Musa ukuyixosha imbuzi uma ifuna ukuhlala ne-cub. Ngenqubo, ingane izokukhahlela futhi ibe novalo. Kufanele ube nothando futhi uphikelele.
Ukuvusa umlutha
Akunakwenzeka ukuyifaka ngokweqile ngenombolo yokuthinta okungatheni, kunalokho, kungenzeka zinganele. Uma uvumela isilwane ukuthi sigweme ukuxhumana, sifaka izandla, lokhu kuziphatha kuzofakwa engqondweni yakhe. Qhubeka uthinte iwundlu ize iphumule ngokuphelele futhi imise ukumelana. Umqondo ngukuthi lesi silwane saqala ukuzizwa singakhululekile, sabe sesiqeda lo muzwa ezandleni zomuntu ezithambile. Ukuxhumana okunjalo newundlu ekuqaleni kwesikhashana kuzothela izithelo lapho selukhule ngokugcwele. UDkt Miller ukubiza ukwamukelwa kabusha kokuthintwa komuntu ngokuthi “ukuba ngumzali,” yize abaningi bekubiza ngokuthi “ukuzithoba.”
Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu ekukhuliseni amahhashi, ngoba akhulu kakhulu kunezimbuzi lapho esemdala. Ubudlelwano bakho buzoxhomekeka ngqo ekuziphatheni kwabo.
Ukwehliswa amandla
Akunjalo, musa ukushesha! Shaya ikhanda, ikhala, izindlebe, isisu kanye nendawo engaphansi komsila. Massage zonke izingxenye zomzimba kahle kuze kube yilapho isilwane siphumula, sivumela ukuvezwa. UMiller uphawula ukuthi esimweni sezilwane, kudingeka ukuphindaphinda okungama-30 kuye kwayi-100, kodwa ngithole ukuthi isimo esinezimpongo silula kakhulu. Ngokuphikelela okufanele, kwangithatha cishe ukuphindisela okungu-10-20, izindlebe kwagcina kuyindawo enenkinga kakhulu yokujwayela. Manje sengingahlala, ngiconsa izindlebe zembuzi ngakolunye uhlangothi, ezizifaka ngenkani uthando. Angaze alale ezingalweni zakhe futhi angaphenduli nhlobo uma ngithinta umsila wakhe noma ngiwushaye ngaphansi. (izimbuzi zizonda ukuthintwa umsila!)
Izinjongo zokuqeqesha
Injongo eyisihluthulelo yokuqeqeshwa kokufunda ukwenza lula ukuxhumana nesilwane esidala. Cabanga ngesimo lapho udinga ukumnika khona umjovo, noma udokotela wezilwane kudingeka ahlanze umsele wendlebe futhi afake i-thermometer ku-anus. Ukuze isilwane siphenduke "iphupho likadokotela wezilwane," kufanele usebenze naso kuqala. Lapho ukuthinta sekumjwayele, qala ukufaka iminwe emlonyeni, ekhaleni, emgodini wendlebe nakuthambo. Akunakusho ukuthi ungaqali inqubo kusukela ku-anus. Kufanele uqale ngekhanda futhi kancane kancane wehle phansi.
Izimbotshana
Manje usungasebenza nezindawo ezibucayi. Qiniseka ukuthi izinyawo zakho, imilenze, i-groin nesisu akunakwa. Njengoba sekushiwo ngaphambili, bhaxu nokuhlaselwa yizo zonke izindawo kuze kube yilapho isilwane sesiphumule ngokuphelele. Amahlosi wezimbuzi adinga ukulungiswa njalo (ngokungafani ne-equine), ngakho-ke kubalulekile ukuthi isilwane sisetshenziselwe ukukhohlisa imilenze yaso.
Vumela umama abe nengane ngenkathi usebenza nayo. Thatha isinyathelo kulezi zindawo, kepha yenza imbuzi ikhothe bese iyondla ngengane ephindwayo. Ngakho-ke, zombili lezi zilwane zehlisa umoya ngokushesha. Le nqubo akufanele iphoqelelwe, ingathatha amahora ambalwa noma izinsuku eziningana.
Ngosuku olulandelayo
Banamahora angama-26 kuphela ubudala, futhi izingane sezivele zingazi futhi zihlobene nezandla zazo ngokukhululeka nangokuzithemba. Ukuhlanganisa umphumela, ngizoqhubeka nokuthinta okokukhwabanisa nsuku zonke emavikini ambalwa alandelayo, ngenkathi amawundlu ekhula.
Umsebenzi kaMiller
Umsebenzi wakhe namahhashi mkhulu kakhulu kunalokho engikuchazile ngenhla, futhi kunezizathu ezinhle zalokhu. Ukukhulisa amahhashi sekuwubuciko ngokwako, ngakho-ke kudinga umzamo omkhulu kunalokho engikuchitha ezimbuzini. Uyacelwa ukuthi utadishe le ncwadi nomsebenzi wayo yonke impilo yakhe uma inqubo yokuqeqeshwa yokufakelwa ekuthanda, nokuthi ufuna ukuyizama ngamahhashi akho noma ngezinye izilwane. Angizenzi sengathi ngonguchwepheshe kulo mkhakha, ngivele ngashintshela amanye amasu kaMiller nomsebenzi wami epulazini nasezilwaneni engisebenzelana nazo. Ngenqubo kaDkt Miller, i-foal yakho izophenduka isuka kwiwundlu engahlosile iye ekubeni yindoda endala, nehhashi eliqeqeshwe kahle!
