Summary
| Description |
Deutsch: Herde der Dülmener Wildpferde in der Arena (vor dem Herausfangen der Jährlinge, Wildpferdefang 2014), Merfelder Bruch, Dülmen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Deutschland
Der Wildpferdefang im Merfelder Bruch ist eine jahrhundertealte Tradition im Münsterland und eng mit den so genannten Dülmener Wildpferden verbunden. Die Geschichte der Wildpferde im Merfelder Bruch reicht vermutlich bis ins Mittelalter zurück. Schriftliche Belege über frei lebende Pferde in dieser Region finden sich seit dem 14. und 15. Jahrhundert. Über Jahrhunderte lebten die Tiere weitgehend unbeeinflusst in den Heide-, Moor- und Waldlandschaften des Gebietes. Eigentümer des Areals und der Herde ist seit dem 19. Jahrhundert die Adelsfamilie Herzog von Croÿ, die bis heute für den Erhalt der Pferde sorgt. Der sogenannte Wildpferdefang entwickelte sich aus der Notwendigkeit, die Herdengröße zu regulieren. Daher werden einmal im Jahr – traditionell am letzten Samstag im Mai – die einjährigen Hengste aus der Herde herausgefangen. Diese jungen Hengste würden mit zunehmendem Alter Rivalitäten auslösen und die soziale Struktur der Herde stören. Der Fang selbst ist ein spektakuläres Ereignis: In einer großen Arena werden die Jährlingshengste einzeln per Hand eingefangen. Trotz des touristischen Interesses steht heute der Tierschutz im Mittelpunkt. Die Veranstaltung wird streng überwacht, um Stress und Verletzungen für die Tiere möglichst gering zu halten. English: Herd of Dülmen wild horses in the arena (before catching out the yearlings, Wildpferdefang 2014), Merfelder Bruch, Dülmen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
The capture of wild horses in Merfelder Bruch is a centuries-old tradition in the Münsterland region and is closely linked to the so-called Dülmen wild horses. The history of wild horses in Merfelder Bruch probably dates back to the Middle Ages. Written records of wild horses in this region can be found from the 14th and 15th centuries. For centuries, the animals lived largely undisturbed in the heath, moor, and forest landscapes of the area. Since the 19th century, the area and the herd have been owned by the noble family of the Duke of Croÿ, who still cares for the horses today. The so-called wild horse capture developed out of the need to regulate the size of the herd. Therefore, once a year – traditionally on the last Saturday in May – the one-year-old stallions are captured from the herd. These young stallions would cause rivalries as they grew older and disrupt the social structure of the herd. The capture itself is a spectacular event: in a large arena, the yearling stallions are caught individually by hand. Despite the tourist interest, animal welfare is the main focus today. The event is strictly monitored to minimize stress and injury to the animals.
