Horse Herby

Gaugraf | Horse

Gaugraf belongs to the breed of South German cold-blooded horses, which are characterized by their sociable nature. Just like the Noriker, this breed has a rich history of work. Nowadays they are used as carriage horses, logging horses and the like. We found Gaugraf at a horse market in Rottach-Egern, Bavaria, where he had to…

Nadir | Horse

Nadir is an Arabian thoroughbred and was twelve years old when he was admitted. He was becoming increasingly difficult for his elderly owner to handle, he had simply been passed on too often. Nadir needed a new, secure and loving forever home, and so he was taken in at Gut Aiderbichl in Eslarn, where he…

Beckham | Horse

Beckham, a ten-year-old Hanoverian, was about to be euthanized due to a serious injury to his front leg. Despite numerous veterinary and physiotherapeutic efforts, his condition continued to deteriorate. Thanks to the cooperation of Gut Aiderbichl and the Sandgrueb Foundation, Beckham was brought to the rehabilitation center in Egg, Switzerland. Intensive pain therapy, orthopaedic shoeing…

Novak | Horse

Had it not been for this one visit, Novak would not be alive today. Beatrice Bürchler-Keller visited her neighbor, who was a passionate Freiberger breeder. When she found out that Novak and three other foals did not meet breeding expectations, she was very worried about the good little horses. It was likely that they would…

Skylight | Horse

Horses that come under our lifelong protection are not always plagued by suffering, illness or old age. It is often human human strokes of fate that put an animal in danger. As in Skylight's case. Her owners were desperate. Skylight had been with them for a long time, but now they had to admit that…

Acedius | Horse

With our animal rescues, we are constantly looking for ways to communicate our findings and knowledge to the public. With the rescue of Acedius and many other foals, we were able to report on this again in 2010 and educate people. At that time, foal number 105, which we later named Acedius, was only 137…

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…

Cindy | Horse

Estate manager Maria Kaindl found out about two pregnant pony mares that were already waiting to be slaughtered. The dealer who told her about it also showed her photos. She didn't take long, bought the two mares and brought them to her farm. A few months later, they gave birth to their foals. Cindy gave…

Kiddy | Horse

Little Kiddy is a born Aiderbichler. We found his mother Wendy at a horse slaughter market in Maishofen. She was supposed to be sent pregnant on a slaughter transport to Italy. Kiddy would then simply have been disposed of as an embryo. The tragic thing is that many pregnant animals are sent on such transports…

Jessina | Horse

I wonder what would have happened to the beautiful Jessina if she hadn't been discovered by an animal lover in Switzerland...? Because one thing was certain: she simply wasn't beautiful enough and didn't fit the standard breeding ideal. The animal lover contacted us and asked us to take Jessina in, because it was unacceptable that…

Schula | 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 earlier because she had reached her…

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…
