Max | Horse

When the authorities found Max and his fellow sufferer, they were not doing well. The two horses had to live out their lives in a dark stable together with cattle. The manure and urine was up to their joints and they had never seen the sun, let alone a pasture where they could run and…

Herzog | Horse

Because Herzog's mother died shortly after giving birth, the owner family's daughter raised the bay colt with a bottle. However, when there was no more room for Herzog on the family's farm, she decided to give the very human-oriented foal away. A place was soon found for Herzog at a sanctuary, but the family soon…

Gentile | Horse

When Gentile arrived, we immediately admired his beauty. He stood proudly and magnificently at Gut Aiderbichl Henndorf and was admired by our guests. His owners told us that they had bought Gentile three years ago. He was hoping to shine in dressage. But it soon became clear that Gentile was not going to become a…

Shari | Horse

A phone call saved the lives of 21 horses for slaughter that had been transported from Romania to Belgium. Animal rights activists were able to stop the transport and contacted Michael Aufhauser. They asked for his help. He did not hesitate and drove to the scene of the incident. At this point, it was already…

Paladio | Horse

Of course, it is mainly breeders who expect fame and income from keeping a stallion. Magnificent specimens of their breed then also ensure that breeding is maintained. But there are also those private horse owners who see castration of a stallion as a bad thing. In this country, the owners' environment plays a role in…

Bubi | Horse

In difficult economic times, circuses also have to make tight budgets. The animals bought in the optimism of better times lose their place. When the circus made a guest appearance near Deggendorf, the director remembered Gut Aiderbichl and paid us a visit. We agreed to take in the three most controversial cases: Ludwig the donkey…

Nadira | Horse

Horse Nadira came to us through the Gut Aiderbichl animal insurance. Her owners had made provisions for the worst-case scenario, and unfortunately this happened sooner than expected. When the second horse died, the owners decided to bring Nadira to Gut Aiderbichl early because they simply could not and did not want to imagine a lonely…

Tina | Horse

The beautiful Haflinger mare Tina was rescued from the slaughterhouse by an animal lover. She had made every effort to look after her Tina, but ultimately came to the conclusion that she was unable to cope with Tina both financially and in terms of time. The animal lover turned to us in 2005 and asked…

Harlim | Horse

Throughout his life, Harlim was always loyal, hard-working and sociable. He was never guilty of anything. For years, he taught children to ride with great patience and love. As he grew older and went blind in one eye, the riding school operators suddenly turned their backs on him. This handicap meant that he could no…

Grey November | Horse

We were presented with a terrible sight when we were called by the veterinary office to inspect an animal: 19 almost starved horses, without bedding or food and kept in desolate conditions. Among them was Grey November, affectionately known as Robby. The Gut Aiderbichl team and Managing Director Dieter Ehrengruber could not look away, as…

Pan-Emotion | Horse

"You can call me Freddi," a desperate man opened the conversation with Michael Aufhauser. But the situation was by no means as relaxed as this sentence sounded. Shortly before, the man had stormed a government office, shot a man four times in the creek and locked himself in an office with a hostage. This desperate…

Noah Devil | Horse

Unfortunately, it can happen that situations are exaggerated. But it is fatal when facts are invented. This is what happened with Noah Devil and his friend Olaf (now deceased). We were told about extremely poor husbandry and there was talk of confiscation. In short: there was "imminent danger". When we arrived at the scene, we…
