Horse Eragon

Bella | Horse

Dubious attractions in which circus animals have to perform strange and often degrading tricks on command are becoming less and less popular with people. One of Gut Aiderbichl's main concerns is to help circus animals in need. Traveling with the animals from town to town and evening performances are a far cry from species-appropriate husbandry.…

Stan | Horse

A horse owner asked Gut Aiderbichl to take in her 8 horses. She herself has health problems due to a tick bite on her right leg and does not believe that she will be able to look after the horses in the future. The horses are like children to her and must not become a…

Oakland Lilly | Horse

Oakland Lilly belongs to the Shire Horse breed. They are extremely gentle cattle horses and come from England. Here they were often used as draft horses. Not infrequently in breweries. Their owners, an elderly couple, lived happily together with their horses, like a family. This little paradise was suddenly lost when old age brought the…

Namy | Horse

As part of the cooperation entered into with the Swiss Sandgrueb Foundation (Egg near Zurich) in 2019, Gut Aiderbichl assumed responsibility for the lifelong care of a healthy group of 15 Arabian mares. The Sandgrueb Foundation had taken over the stock of an Arabian horse breeder a few years previously because she had reached her…

Elvis (Wonderboy) | Horse

When the feature film "A Paradise for Horses" was shot at Gut Aiderbichl, the story of "Baricello and Chatleen" - a touching reunion of mother and son - was to be recreated in this film. For this purpose, we set out to find a broodmare who had a colt. No sooner said than done. When…

Emmi | Horse

Aiderbichlers from the very beginning had looked after Emmi and her friend Lucky for years. When Emmi was diagnosed with a hay dust allergy, the family adapted and did everything they could to give her a good life. However, the family's health circumstances soon changed, forcing them to give up the horses. After a long…

Martin | Horse

Our sunshine Martin almost never saw the light of day. His mother Martina was on a slaughter transport to Belgium in October 2007. There he would probably have simply been disposed of as an embryo. Animal rights activists stopped the transport as the conditions for the 21 horses were devastating. Thanks to the animal welfare…

Fleur | Horse

When an animal welfare activist drew our attention to Fleur, the animal was at the livestock dealer. Fleur was only two years old at the time and suffered from summer eczema. This disease is not easy for a horse to cope with and it means a lot of work for the owner. Obviously Fleur's owner…

Nanda | Horse

In 2008, original Aiderbichler and horse expert Beatrice Bürchler-Keller became aware of four foals in her immediate neighborhood. They were Franches-Montagnes, which, in addition to their beauty, also stood out with their friendly and calm nature. However, they did not meet the breeding expectations. Their path seemed already mapped out. But Mrs. Bürchler-Keller did not…

Vasco | Horse

Animals can grow very close to our hearts. Humans and horses have always worked very closely together. Vasco, a well-behaved vaulting horse, was struggling with back problems. Horses with back pain quickly fall into a relaxed posture. To prevent further damage from occurring as a result, therapy must be started quickly. However, Vasco should not…

Baricello | Horse

The fact that you can die of a broken heart is a cruel reality for us. We have often seen little foals stop eating out of sheer grief. This was also the case with Baricello. All consolation, all cuddles and every kind word bounced off his unspeakable grief. At that time, we were at the…

Johnny Radierer | Horse

The University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna has been conducting animal experiments with ponies for many years, but also with other animals such as cattle, llamas and pigs. Always for progress and for veterinary medicine and without animal suffering, as is known from other experiments. The research of recent years, in which seven ponies have…
