Horse Bobby

Candy | Horse

An Aiderbichler woman contacted us. She asked for help for the Haflinger mare Wendy and her pony friend Candy. Her husband had taken care of them and looked after them lovingly. For years, he found happiness and peace with them. But now he fell seriously ill and it became impossible for him to look after…

Herby | Horse

Herby already has a lot of kilometers under his belt. Born in the USA in 1999, he was sold to Switzerland 10 years ago. There he was to serve as a breeding stallion. However, a few years later he found himself in Germany and was used to pay off the debts of a failed restaurant.…

Pioneer | Horse

The beautiful Pioneer belongs to the Shire Horse breed. Originally used as draft horses, he and his friends were kept as friends and family members. Their happiness seemed perfect and the animals had a good life. But the little paradise was suddenly lost when old age brought the couple to their knees. It was no…

Bibby | Horse

We couldn't reconstruct much of Bibby's history, she had been moved from one stable to the next too often. An animal lover had bought the well-behaved mare as a leisure horse, but when it became clear that Bibby could no longer be ridden due to osteoarthritis in both fetlock joints, she could no longer afford…

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…

Laurel | Horse

When we became aware of Laurel 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…

Peppone | Horse

Our Pepo comes from a petting zoo and children learned to ride on his back. Pepo was pampered and everything seemed fine. Suddenly the farm was sold, and with it the animals from the petting zoo. When an owner found out that Pepo was probably going to the slaughterhouse, she was not prepared to accept…

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…

Elvis (Wonderboy) | Horse

When the feature film "A Paradise for Horses" was shot at Gut Aiderbichl, the story of "Baricello and Chatleen" - a touching reunion of mother and son - was to be recreated in this film. For this purpose, we set out to find a broodmare who had a colt. No sooner said than done. When…

Clausi | Horse

The fact that Henri, Britta, Clausi, Ludmilla and other animals are still alive today is thanks to the active help of our sponsors. An Aiderbichler employee discovered animals in a dealer's stable. It was extremely dark, filthy and the animals were tied up with a string. When he looked into the stable, sad eyes stared…

Bonita | Horse

The Noriker mare Bonita lives up to her name, which means "beauty". Before she became an Aiderbichler in October 2005, it almost looked as if her beauty would no longer be good enough. At the horse market in Maishofen, she was offered to horse dealers who would probably have sent her to Italy for slaughter.…

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…
