Muck | Horse

The University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna has been conducting animal experiments with ponies for many years, but also with other animals such as cattle, llamas and pigs. This has always been for the advancement of veterinary medicine and without the animal suffering known from other experiments. The research of recent years, in which seven…

Rusty | Horse

Rusty got his name from a very sad event. Animal lovers had bought foals free and wanted to place them. When no one was interested in the animals, they stayed where they were. The animal lovers got into massive financial problems, so that in the meantime they could no longer guarantee their feeding. We were…

Beatrice | Horse

When the Gut Aiderbichl team came to work in March 2013, they quickly realized that something was wrong with the mare Maja. She seemed to be in pain and was nervous. We immediately called the vet because we didn't know what could be wrong with her. At 7:45 a.m. she gave birth to a healthy…

Little John | Horse

Little John and his brother Fridolin had an extremely bad start. Although their mother Tanita had lovingly looked after them, they found themselves with a horse dealer. The slaughter date had already been set. Aiderbichler and animal lover Christa Clarin became aware of the six ponies and wanted to help them. She spontaneously bought the…

Dreamer | Horse

Dreamer, Poco and Whitney lived for many years with a very animal-loving lady who lost her job time and again, but never stopped caring for her horses. Due to her age, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find a good job, so for financial reasons she wanted to find a safe and secure place for…

Zeus | Horse

At the horse market in Rottenbuch, we became aware of the foal that was to be auctioned off under the number 71. Future riding horses are not always sought after at horse markets. For many foals, the final destination is the slaughterhouse. Colts in particular are often dealt a bad hand. Gut Aiderbichl founder Michael…

Bart | Horse

"I have decided to take all 19 horses with me. I'm doing this in the hope that our Aiderbichlers will help us...", said Dieter Ehrengruber when we were called by the veterinary office to inspect the animals. The sight that presented itself to us was deeply shocking: 19 almost starved horses, without bedding or food…

Schabanu | Horse

We are glad that we don't encounter these scenarios too often, but when they do, it shocks us every time. We were asked to help by a veterinary office. The sight was terrifying: 19 almost starved horses, without bedding or food and in desolate conditions. Among them was Schabanu. The Gut Aiderbichl team and Managing…

Manolo | Horse

When we became aware of Manolo and three other ponies, our breath caught in our throat. Although the four, who had supposedly worked in a circus for many years, had not even reached the middle of their lives, they were about to die. Completely neglected and emaciated, they were waiting for their last transport to…

Traudl | Horse

Little Traudl is a happy mare who has never had to experience anything bad in her life because she was born at Aiderbichl. Her big sister Lilly was bought by Gut Aiderbichl at the foal market in Rottenbuch and brought to Gut Aiderbichl Iffeldorf. After looking through the pictures, Michael Aufhauser discovered a picture of…

Sissi | Horse

Sometimes everything has to happen very quickly. Like with mare Sissi from Carinthia. Her young owner did her best when she noticed that Sissi was lame and in pain. The vet who was called initially helped with painkillers and used all her experience. That morning, a decision was made that the owner found very difficult:…

Kathi | Horse

Kathi's story has already given many people food for thought and moved many to tears. Michael Aufhauser bought the foal 53 at a horse slaughter market. She was already on a transporter and was to be taken to Italy. We were able to prevent this and so we brought the little foal to Gut Aiderbichl.…
