Horse Gottfried Vienna

Prinz | Horse

Prinz and Movie Star found themselves in a tricky situation. The lease was terminated and they were thinking of taking the two horses to the horse slaughterhouse. But fate had other plans. Prinz and his friend Movie Star live in the A-stable at Gut Aiderbichl and are just getting used to a wonderful life in…

Gerold | Horse

Every animal rescue is special to us and no fate leaves us indifferent. But there are cases that shake us to the core. In October 2007, a transporter carrying 21 horses for slaughter was stopped by animal rights activists after it was noticed that the animals were in a devastating condition. They were to have…

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…

Herzog | Horse

Because Herzog's mother died shortly after giving birth, the owner family's daughter raised the bay colt with a bottle. However, when there was no more room for Herzog on the family's farm, she decided to give the very human-oriented foal away. A place was soon found for Herzog at a sanctuary, but the family soon…

Amina | 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 on completely neglected animals - animals that no longer expect anything positive from humans. Their only purpose in life seemed to be to give birth to…

Finika | Horse

The cheeky little Finika belonged to an 11-year-old girl who saw Finika as her dream pony. The two had a deep friendship, but unfortunately there was a problem: Finika didn't want to be ridden and did everything she could to make this clear. She repeatedly threw the girl out of the saddle or simply went…

Speedy | Horse

An animal lover already kept ponies on her farm and bought a foal for herself. She named it Speedyn and the pony gelding "Little Uncle", who was supposed to act as an "educator", became friends with little Speedy. Due to an eye disease, "Little Uncle" became blind, which is often not a problem for the…

Noah Devil | Horse

Unfortunately, it can happen that situations are exaggerated. But it is fatal when facts are invented. This is what happened with Noah Devil and his friend Olaf (now deceased). We were told about extremely poor husbandry and there was talk of confiscation. In short: there was "imminent danger". When we arrived at the scene, we…

Karin | Horse

Christa Clarin, the widow of the late actor and animal lover Hans Clarin, could not look away when she learned of the fate of three little foals. She got to know and love the three foals on her daily dog walks. When she learned that they were to be slaughtered, she could not stand idly…

Tonic | 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…

Bibby | Horse

We couldn't reconstruct much of Bibby's history, she had been moved from one stable to the next too often. An animal lover had bought the well-behaved mare as a leisure horse, but when it became clear that Bibby could no longer be ridden due to osteoarthritis in both fetlock joints, she could no longer afford…

Romy | Horse

When Romy moved to Gut Aiderbichl France, sponsors were present as part of a sponsorship trip. They were able to experience live how frightened little heaps became self-confident foals. If Gut Aiderbichl had not been there, the foals would certainly have found themselves on a transport to Italy for slaughter. Thanks to the commitment of…
