Horse Dorita

Max | Horse

When the authorities found Max and his fellow sufferer, they were not doing well. The two horses had to live out their lives in a dark stable together with cattle. The manure and urine was up to their joints and they had never seen the sun, let alone a pasture where they could run and…

Gino | Horse

Circuses of the conventional kind no longer have a future. Dubious attractions in which animals have to perform strange and often degrading tricks on command are becoming less and less popular with people. Circuses are going bankrupt and having to sell their animals. One of Gut Aiderbichl's aims is to help animals in need. We…

Paula | Horse

When you talk to Paula, you often get the feeling that she understands you. Her eyes can be so attentive. We almost never got to know this wonderful mare because she was on a transport to Belgium for slaughter in October 2007. Animal welfare activists were able to stop the transport in Lower Austria, as…

Perdito | Horse

The beautiful Arabian white horse Perdito was part of a circus act that impressed and delighted many visitors. With tight reins and a bush on his head, he and his fellow horses had to perform tricks in the circus ring. The circus boss, who was also the performer, was no longer able to present this…

Idefix | Horse

Little Idefix found himself in a serious situation in 2004. He was standing at a slaughter horse market in Maishofen with many other conspecifics. Many a dealer had already taken an interest in him. This was a bad sign, as most of these horses were transported to the south and east of Europe for slaughter.…

Berani | Horse

The dream of owning a horse often remains unfulfilled for many people. It can be particularly difficult if you are also small in stature, as an animal-loving family from Upper Austria found out. But they didn't want to let their supposed handicap slow them down and found the perfect horse breed for themselves: the American…

Rocky | Horse

The beautiful warmblood gelding Rocky was trained as a carriage horse in Hungary. When he finally came to Switzerland, he found a home and a girlfriend with an animal lover. For eight years, everything seemed to be OK and they both enjoyed their time together and the unforgettable rides. Life often takes strange paths and…

Azzari | Horse

When Azzari arrived at Gut Aiderbichl, he was terrified. He didn't know what was going to happen to him. The official vet reported that the gelding and his friend Uzalys were suffering in incredibly bad conditions. Hardly any fresh food or water. Such unbelievable neglect, so much suffering. The authorities were forced to confiscate the…

Moritz | Horse

When the authorities found Moritz and his fellow sufferers, they were not doing well. The two horses had to live out their lives in a dark stable together with cattle. The manure and urine reached their joints and they had never seen the sun, let alone a pasture where they could run and play. Fortunately,…

Sinue | Horse

The Arabian mare Sinue was sold at the age of three to an animal lover, but with no experience of horses. During the first farrier treatment, the mare broke loose and ran away. Out of fear, the mare was only kept in a small paddock after this incident. Sinue was eventually sold, but things got…

Jane Joice | Horse

"The happiness of this earth lies on the backs of horses" and Jane really was very lucky. She, Jumper, Semino and their friend Jolly escaped from a cattle dealer and simply ran off. When the Gut Aiderbichl team became aware of the ponies, they were practically at our door and knocked on our door. We…

Karin | Horse

Karin - a pony in search of a new home. For Karin's owner, she was perhaps all she had left to enjoy. Her husband and mother were ill and needed more and more of her support. There was less and less time for the pony. So she desperately turned to Gut Aiderbichl's animal emergency center.…
