Horse Fury

Fireball | Horse

Fireball lives up to his name! One of our horse managers discovered Fireball at her groom's home. His family was completely overwhelmed with him and he seemed to be completely resistant to advice. Hyperactive and characterized by an unruly temperament, he unfortunately posed a danger to the children. The family wanted to get rid of…

Tanja | Horse

Tanja found herself in the horse trade when she was just 13 months old. When she was bought by a young lady, the trouble began. She felt cheated because, as it turned out, Tanja needed an expensive operation due to a leg disease. The woman did not want to pay for this and immediately withdrew…

Lisa | Horse

Lisa, who is known among the Aiderbichler staff as a gourmet and a voracious eater, has already escaped a death transporter once. Back then, she was bought free by animal lovers and looked after. For 15 years, everything seemed to be fine. But when the animal friends' life situation suddenly changed dramatically, the 6 friends…

Lusi | Horse

Lusi came to Gut Aiderbichl in 2014 because her owner was unable to cope with the mare. Lusi was very impetuous and simply did not get on with children. It was clear that the two parties would no longer be able to come to an agreement. This made the situation more difficult for the father…

Favory Biserka | Horse

What to do when horses get older? What to do when they can no longer be ridden? Not only Gut Aiderbichl, but also the Spanish Riding School in Vienna deals with these and many other questions. Because in their care there are many retired artists on four hooves who are no longer suitable for active…

Andy | Horse

The fate of humans and animals is always interrelated; no one is a lone warrior. We must be aware of this. An animal lover contacted us by email and you could see that it was very difficult for her to write these lines. She told us that her partner had left her and that she…

Elsner | Horse

We have known Elsner and his friends Action (deceased) and Hilli for a long time. Michael Aufhauser once helped them and their owners and saved them all from the worst. They made it and were able to look after their animals for many more years. But in 2017, it could no longer be averted: The…

Chico | Horse

Chico and Doni found a new home at Gut Aiderbichl because their owner was no longer able to look after them due to osteoarthritis. The daily care of the horses became a burden for the couple, and an animal care program at Gut Aiderbichl ensured that the two horses would be placed in loving hands…

Tina | Horse

The beautiful Haflinger mare Tina was rescued from the slaughterhouse by an animal lover. She had made every effort to look after her Tina, but ultimately came to the conclusion that she was unable to cope with Tina both financially and in terms of time. The animal lover turned to us in 2005 and asked…

Viola | Horse

Breeding always means selection. Every year, countless foals that do not meet the "breeding ideals" experience this. Only a few months old, they then embark on their final journey to one of the notorious slaughterhouses in southern or eastern Europe. Viola was also threatened with this fate. She was already in a dealer's stable when…

Mariella | Horse

When we took in the Noriker mare Fiona and her foal Henry in September 2013, the patient broodmare was already pregnant again. Henry was not suitable for breeding and so he was threatened with slaughter. At 3 a.m. on Good Friday, April 18, 2014, Fiona gave birth to a healthy filly. Mariella not only looks…

Avon | Horse

Many people underestimate the cost of keeping horses. The stabling fee alone is not enough. The vet, farrier, dentist, perhaps even special feed and much more are incurred by horse owners. The costs for the beautiful Avon were simply no longer affordable for his owner. When he contacted us, a new stable had just been…
