Horse Acedius

Joyna | Horse

It wouldn't have taken much and little Joyna would never have seen the light of day. Her mother was almost sent on a transport to slaughter - her unborn foal would have simply been disposed of. But animal lovers noticed the mare, realized that she was ill and urgently needed help. Joyna was lucky once…

Cassandra | Horse

The gentle mare Cassandra had to go through a terrible experience. In October 2007, she was to be transported from Romania to Belgium, where she would ultimately die. Animal welfare activists were able to stop the transport as the animals were in a devastating condition. When Michael Aufhauser and Dieter Ehrengruber arrived on site, it…

Jamila | Horse

As part of the cooperation entered into with the Swiss Sandgrueb Foundation (Egg near Zurich) in 2019, Gut Aiderbichl assumed responsibility for the lifelong care of a healthy group of 15 Arabian mares. The Sandgrueb Foundation had taken over the stock of an Arabian horse breeder a few years previously because she had reached her…

Zafar | Horse

Zafar - Rescue at the last second Employees of Gut Aiderbichl took part in a foal auction. Zafar was discovered on a slaughter truck. We managed to stop Zafar's last journey and give him a happy life at Gut Aiderbichl.

Sindy-Stella | Horse

Stella, a Noriker mare, was diagnosed with laminitis at the age of seven. Because of this diagnosis, she is no longer allowed out to pasture and the owners set about looking for a foster home where Stella could live well with her illness. The second option would have been to slaughter her. Stella lives in…

Corragio | Horse

It often seems that horses are only reduced to their rideability. As soon as problems with the legs arise, the great love for the horse seems to turn into ignorance, according to the motto: What doesn't work must go! Corragio was also to be put down because his owners no longer saw any use in…

Vigo | Horse

Vigo was confiscated by a veterinary office in Switzerland and initially placed in a clinic. After all the formalities had been dealt with, a place was sought for Vigo and he was initially found at Gut Aiderbichl Egg in Switzerland. The staff there did everything they could to nurse Vigo back to health. Now he…

Therese | Horse

The dream of a great broodmare obviously did not come true for one breeder. Therese was born with a leg deformity. At first it was thought that it would grow out, but soon came the devastating diagnosis: unfit for breeding! Her owner no longer had any use for Therese and sold her to the cattle…

Barney | Horse

When we celebrated our "10 years Gut Aiderbichl Deggendorf" party in 2016, one of the guests was an Aiderbichl resident with a problem. She thought long and hard about whether she should take the plunge. She seized the opportunity and approached Dieter Ehrengruber. She told him about her Shetty stallion, with whom she somehow didn't…

Tami | Horse

When we are asked by the authorities whether we can help with a confiscation, we always have to assume the worst case scenario. We have to expect to take in completely neglected animals - animals that no longer expect anything positive from humans. Their only purpose in life seemed to be to give birth to…

Frida | Horse

When animal lovers found Frida, a small full-size pony, it was clear that it would not be easy with her. But they were optimistic and gave Frida a chance. So the timid mare moved into the farm. However, it was not possible to handle her on a normal daily basis and riding was out of…

Amal | Horse

We can only guess what Amal had to endure or not. When she arrived at Gut Aiderbichl with her mother Zafira, we could see the sheer fear in her eyes. The cattle dealer who brought them to us simply said: "They've never really seen a human before." We can't imagine how they must have experienced…
