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 get on. He was too impetuous for her. She was simply overwhelmed by the situation. Dieter Ehrengruber promised to help her and made a note of her telephone number. A few days later, we set everything in motion: Barney first went to the veterinary clinic to be neutered. He then moved into Gut Aiderbichl Deggendorf.

Funny | Horse

Unfortunately, stories like Fanny's happen every day and reach us very often: Fanny was handed in to a small sanctuary because the previous owner had overstretched himself financially and simply wanted to get rid of her. Unfortunately, the sanctuary in question was also under financial pressure and was in the red. The owners of the…

Mundl | Horse

Every year in the fall, horse breeders sell their foals born in the spring - usually at auctions. Again and again, Gut Aiderbichl was there to help raise money. This is because more than 70 percent of the foals presented do not find a buyer who can guarantee them a future. They go to middlemen…

Oreo | Horse

Pony Oreo and Keks had been living in a flock of sheep for years and were locked in a horse stall during the winter months. When they were discovered, they had not been vaccinated or wormed and their hooves were over 20 cm long. Their rescuer called the vet and the farrier. Oreo and Keks…

Zorro | Horse

Zorro is a five-year-old Shetland pony and came to Gut Aiderbichl in Henndorf together with Edonis, Elvis and Jessy. It was important to the owners that the animals were brought together, i.e. not separated. They could no longer keep the ponies themselves due to health and financial problems and gave them up with a heavy…

Sissi | Horse

Over the past 20 years, we have seen time and time again that animal welfare also means human welfare. The case of Sissi, Flora, Nannerl and Mozart was just such a case. An elderly lady had been caring for her animals for years. But the older she got, the more difficult it became to care…

Duplo | Horse

Duplo needs a stress-free life. The 15-year-old Hanoverian lived for 8 years with a horse owner who had fallen head over heels in love with Duplo. She took him over from a veterinary clinic and it was already clear at the time that Duplo regularly suffered from colic. The best treatments can only work if…

Amelie | Horse

A horse owner asked Gut Aiderbichl to take in her 8 horses. She herself has health problems due to a tick bite on her right leg and does not believe that she will be able to look after the horses in the future. The horses are like children to her and must not become a…

Dessert | Horse

It happens very often that people who are suffering from illnesses or are in the last third of their lives want to take care of the "afterlife". All things are taken care of, but often the animals are forgotten. What happens to the beloved dog when something "happens"? It is not uncommon for bereaved animals…

Snorre 2 | Horse

We found little Snorre at just 3 years old at a horse slaughter market in Maishofen. Cattle dealers were already interested in him to send him on a slaughter transport to the south or east of Europe. Perhaps he would have found a private buyer, but that seemed rather unlikely at the time. Michael Aufhauser…

Nanuk | Horse

Nanuk (30 years old), is a former therapy horse. For financial reasons, he and his son Willow (28 years old) were unfortunately unable to remain in the association's stables until the natural end of their lives, as was originally planned. It was with a heavy heart that the search began for a new forever home…

Billy | Horse

Billy suffered a fate that affects so many ponies in Europe: they are bought for the children. After the initial euphoria has subsided, a certain indifference sets in until the children often lose interest completely. This was also the case with Billy and lasted over 15 years until the land on which they stood was…

Natal | Horse

When Natal arrived at Gut Aiderbichl France, he was just 210 days old. He did not meet the breeding standards and would probably have been sent to Italy for slaughter. However, an Aiderbichl lady became aware of the little Freiberger stallion and asked us for help. On that day, Natal and five other foals became…
