Horse Emmi

Tami | Horse

When we are asked by the authorities whether we can help with a confiscation, we always have to assume the worst case scenario. We have to expect to take in completely neglected animals - animals that no longer expect anything positive from humans. Their only purpose in life seemed to be to give birth to…

Jessy | Horse

Jessy is a seventeen-year-old Shetland pony and came to Gut Aiderbichl in Henndorf together with Zoro, Elvis and Edonis. It was important to the owners that the ponies were brought together, i.e. not separated. They could no longer keep the ponies themselves due to health and financial problems and gave them up with a heavy…

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…

Timo | Horse

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…

Nala | Horse

Nala and her friend Neila came to us as foals. Now you might ask yourself: they still have their whole lives ahead of them, are healthy and fit - what are these horses doing on a sanctuary? Nala was simply not beautiful enough and if an Aiderbichler had not stood up for the two foals…

El Diego | Horse

The two Freiberger foals Diego and Fernando were destined for the slaughterhouse. They did not correspond to the breeding ideal and were classified by us humans as second-class. This classification is otherwise known from porcelain, for example. But if Fernando and Diego could understand us, how could we explain this to them? You have to…

Sternchen | Horse

Estate manager Maria Kaindl heard about two pregnant pony mares that would probably be slaughtered if no owner could be found. The dealer who told her about this also showed her photos. She didn't take long, bought the two mares and brought them back to her farm. A few months later, they gave birth to…

Shakira | Horse

A lady contacted Gut Aiderbichl with a desperate message. An animal lover had passed away and left behind two ponies. At first we were able to place the two, but when the rejection came, it almost came to a bad end. But we were able to help and give Sharika a new home. Together with…

Luca | Horse

Carefully, one foot at a time, the well-behaved trotter gelding Luca got off the trailer and entered Gut Aiderbichl. He didn't know where he was or what he was supposed to be doing here, but he trusted the people who gave him a friendly welcome. We lovingly welcomed Luca and tried to make him understand…

Oreo | Horse

Pony Oreo and Keks had been living in a flock of sheep for years and were locked in a horse stall during the winter months. When they were discovered, they had not been vaccinated or wormed and their hooves were over 20 cm long. Their rescuer called the vet and the farrier. Oreo and Keks…

Jolly | Horse

Sometimes fate takes strange paths. When the four ponies Jolly, Jumper, Semino and Jane found themselves with a cattle dealer, they no longer understood the world. But they didn't want to "be sheep" and took the first opportunity to escape. At full speed across meadows and fields until they finally found themselves on the pastures…

Tanita | Horse

It is thanks to Aiderbichler Christa Clarin that Tanita is still alive today. She became aware of the Shetland pony mare and her sons Little John and Fridolin when she was already at a dealer. At just 11 years old, her life would have been cut short, even though ponies can easily reach the age…
