Sunny | Horse

The well-behaved mare Sunny had a lot of bad luck in her life. Originally purchased as a riding horse, she failed to impress. Right from the start of her training, she had problems and pain in her hind legs. When she then seriously injured her front leg on New Year's Eve, her owner's patience was…

Sultan | Horse

When we came across Sultan and three other ponies, our breath caught in our throat. Although the four of them had supposedly worked in a circus for many years and 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…

Basti | Horse

Many ponies are like Basti. They are kept by older people who see a purpose in them. However, they are often bought for the grandchildren, who then lose interest or switch to "real horses". When one of the ponies dies, the problem arises of what to do with the second one. For many people, it…

Pan-Rubin | Horse

"I'm waiting" were the last words of a man who went to extremes to keep his horses safe. Six hours earlier, he stormed an office and shot a man who died of his injuries a few weeks later. Together with a hostage, he barricaded himself in an office and dialed the Gut Aiderbichl number. When…

Fanny | Horse

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. The dealer didn't know why someone wanted to get rid of these two beautiful horses and send them to slaughter. Michael Aufhauser couldn't help…

Veneziano | Horse

Nowadays, the breeding goal of the South German cold blood is to obtain a horse that is as light-footed and versatile as possible. With their strong nerves and gentle nature, they are regarded as powerful all-rounders. Although they have lost their importance for humans as back and draught horses due to the development of cars…

Blacky | Horse

In difficult economic times, circuses also have to make tight budgets. The animals bought in the optimism of better times lose their place. When the circus made a guest appearance near Deggendorf, the director remembered Gut Aiderbichl and paid us a visit. We agreed to take in the three most controversial cases: Ludwig the donkey…

Ebony | Horse

When we met Ebony, we immediately noticed that her nerves didn't seem to be quite so strong. She is a sensitive horse and wants to be treated as such. When we found out that she was supposed to compete in dressage, we were wide-eyed. But Ebony was lucky - she was born into a stable…

Piri | Horse

Hope dies last and it is always worth fighting for a life. Piri's owner lived by exactly this principle. She would never have allowed anything to happen to her beloved mare, even if it meant missing out on important hospital stays. She had tried several times to place her mare privately and had no luck…

Nils | Horse

We found Nils and his buddies Idefix and Rüdiger at a horse market in Maishofen. They were still very small foals at the time and had just been separated from their mother. It is quite possible that they would have found a home. But it would also have been conceivable if they had found themselves…

Amielie | Horse

It was a rainy day. The staff at Gut Aiderbichl France had their hands full. Then the bell rang at the big gate. The neighboring farmer excitedly reports that three donkeys and three ponies belonging to another neighbor are being loaded by the butcher at this very moment. They are reluctant and terrified. A few…

Stella | Horse

"I'm waiting" were the last words of a man who went to extremes to keep his horses well stabled. Six hours earlier, he stormed a government office and shot a man dead. Together with a hostage, he barricaded himself in an office and dialed the Gut Aiderbichl number. When he spoke to Michael Aufhauser, he…
