Sunny- Sunshine Feeling | Horse

The breeder must have had something in mind when he gave the horse his actual name Sunshine-Feeling. It is almost like a wish that was to accompany the Oldenburg chestnut through his life. But things turned out quite differently: his owner "had to" turn her back on him. For personal reasons, but also because Sunny…

When we received a call from a dealer, Michael Aufhauser wanted to help immediately. Two horses had been delivered to the dealer's yard, well trained and their manes had been plaited.

Brandy | Horse

When we found Brandy at a horse market, we were shocked. No animal deserves to be neglected like that. Michael Aufhauser immediately bought the beautiful Brandy and other death candidates. Once they arrived at Gut Aiderbichl, you could tell that the animals could now take a deep breath. With a lot of love, patience and…

Leonidas | Horse

When Leonidas feels he is being watched, he likes to show off his beauty. Modesty doesn't seem to be his strong point, but what does it matter. He can count himself one of the lucky ones who were spared transportation to slaughter after he was able to perform in dressage and show jumping. He was…

When we found Timo, he was very anxious and cautious. We noticed at the Maishofen horse market that he was coughing. There was a very high risk that he would find himself on a transport to slaughter. Michael Aufhauser bought him free and brought him to Gut Aiderbichl. There he was neutered and examined. We…
