Larry | Horse

Not all horse owners are indifferent to the fate of the horses entrusted to them. Larry comes from a large dressage competition stable. There he was considered talented but unambitious. When his career was over, he was allowed to stay. But he didn't understand that the riders usually passed him by to get another horse…

Benno | Horse

An elderly couple who love animals were determined to give their protégés, the ponies Benno and Liesl, a safe and secure life. They hadn't really reckoned with their own ageing. Then came the day when they had to admit to themselves that they were no longer able to make hay, muck out, groom and care…

Sindy-Stella | Horse

Stella, a Noriker mare, was diagnosed with laminitis at the age of seven. Because of this diagnosis, she is no longer allowed out to pasture and the owners set about looking for a foster home where Stella could live well with her illness. The second option would have been to slaughter her. Stella lives in…

Charly | Horse

Little Charly, who is just 90 cm tall, has a big heart. His owner was a particularly animal-loving woman who gave everything for her pets. But she also had to deal with the question of what to do with her animals if something happened to her. She took out Aiderbichler animal insurance for this eventuality.…

Harlim | Horse

Throughout his life, Harlim was always loyal, hard-working and sociable. He was never guilty of anything. For years, he taught children to ride with great patience and love. As he grew older and went blind in one eye, the riding school operators suddenly turned their backs on him. This handicap meant that he could no…

Asterix | Horse

Every year in the fall, an incredible suffering begins in our midst. In the middle of Europe, and many people can see it. But often there is a lack of understanding or simply a lack of awareness of what is really happening in this situation. At the foal markets that take place every fall, baby…

Susan | Horse

It happens very often that people who are suffering from illnesses or are in the last third of their lives want to take care of the "afterlife". Supposedly they think of everything, have things sorted, but sometimes the animals are forgotten. What happens to the beloved dog when something "happens"? It is not uncommon for…

Pergamon 2 | Horse

It is always very difficult for us to find out the history of "slaughter horses". First of all, we listen to what the horse dealer tells us. Pergamon, he said, was a horse that should have been slaughtered due to poor performance so as not to disgrace its noble lineage. Pergamon was to be slaughtered…

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…

Apollo | Horse

We very often receive inquiries from people who need to settle the estate of a deceased person. And it is not uncommon for them to have to find a home for their beloved pets. And very often it happens that the bereaved animals have to go because no one can look after them. Or perhaps…

Siegfried 5 | Horse

In September 2005, a story happened that really amazed us. A man stood at the gates of Gut Aiderbichl and told us that he had two foals for slaughter with him and if we couldn't buy them at the slaughter price, he would send them on a slaughter transport today. After fate had taken twisted…

Freddy | Horse

Because he has nerves of steel, Freddy was considered one of the best horses for the Munich police riding squadron. The more difficult the situation, the better he was. However, the ambitious and self-confident exceptional horse suffered from joint and tendon problems. When an inoperable inflammation of the fetlock ligaments was added at the age…
