Schecky lived with Cindy and three other ponies with an animal-loving lady. But when she suddenly passed away, the ponies found themselves in free fall. Nobody wanted to take them on and so they suddenly found themselves on a transport to Italy for slaughter. Shortly before the transport reached the border, we were able to reach the dealer and place the ponies under our protection. A few months later, little Erik, who suffered from early childhood autism, visited Gut Aiderbichl with his father. The child had not spoken a word for more than two years. But then Erik met Schecky. The boy played with the pony, stroked it and lost his fear. Like a little king, he suddenly called out "Daddy". An Aiderbichler tale that shows how important the relationship between humans and animals is.

Freddy | Horse

Freddy was intended to be used as a children's riding horse and was already fully loaded at the age of 2. He bucked and kept throwing the children off. In such cases, Freddy was beaten and kicked so that he would "spurt again". But the pet owners kept him anyway. However, when the family began…

Mariechen | Horse

There are far too many Shetland ponies in our part of the world. There are simply too many of them being bred. They often delight children when they are young, but when they get older and turn away from the animals they once loved so much, the ponies often end up in distress. Mariechen was…

Wickie | Horse

Wickie, a Shetland pony, has more or less become a victim of the coronavirus pandemic. A horse farm with a guesthouse had to be closed. The riding business was attached to a country inn and was sold, so the stable rent increased. Most of the horses were able to find a new forever home, but…

Sissy | Horse

The losers at horse markets are almost always the animals, and they seem to know it. Because not every animal finds a responsible owner. Everything is new and unfamiliar and there is a slight nervousness in the air. Even the calmest of contemporaries can lose their nerve. Sissy, however, behaved completely differently. With her head…

Eragon | Horse

At the age of 20, Eragon was decommissioned from the Munich police riding squadron. He can no longer be ridden due to health problems. Eragon could still be used as a side horse, but no one has been interested in this beautiful horse. Eragon is charming, friendly and is not shy when someone tries to…

Pan-Pan | Horse

Pan-Pan is a born Aiderbichler. He did not experience the turmoil and strokes of fate before his birth. His mother Dani became an Aiderbichler in March after her owner stormed a government office and barricaded himself in an office with a hostage. From there he called Gut Aiderbichl and demanded to see Michael Aufhauser. The…

Ulli | Horse

Ulli is a trotter who is over twenty years old. Where she lived, she felt stressed and no longer comfortable. Her grooms had already been able to hand over several horses to Gut Aiderbichl. Now the wish had arisen to give Ulli a safe, quiet and protected new forever home. Ulli now lives like a…

Ginger | Horse

When Ginger moved into Gut Aiderbichl France, sponsors were present as part of a sponsorship trip. They were able to experience live how frightened little heaps of misery became self-confident young foals. If it hadn't been for Gut Aiderbichl, the foals would certainly have found themselves on a transport to Italy for slaughter. Thanks to…

Semu | Horse

As part of a campaign, an animal-loving couple organized the purchase of around 50 horses for slaughter via an animal welfare association, which were also sold. However, some were left over from this campaign, for which they opened a small sanctuary themselves. This is how Semu, mare Lady and little Bonsai got to know each…

Susi | Horse

Stories like this happen every day and reach us very often. The money has run out, they have overextended themselves, they are in the red - the business has to close. This is what happened to the operators of a sanctuary who sacrificed all their savings, did nothing wrong and only did good. But in…

Jake | Horse

Jake is a beautiful 17-year-old quarter horse gray. He gets on well with all his fellow horses and is a real sweetheart for his owner. Unfortunately, Jake suffers from asthma and is therefore increasingly difficult to ride. The owner is no longer financially able to provide Jake with all the therapeutic and medicinal aids he…

Bimbo | Horse

Heavenly tent instead of circus tent - that was the motto of Michael Aufhauser, the founder of Gut Aiderbichl. It was important to him to help these animals in particular and to show them the way back to a species-appropriate life. Bimbo was part of a circus act. When the circus got into financial difficulties,…
