Horse Idefix

Mirabell | Horse

Mirabell had probably already experienced a lot before she was to become a girl's riding pony. It was known that Mirabell suffered from laminitis. But there was something else: it had to be assumed that Mirabell had been beaten, because in certain situations she shied and became highly nervous. The sick hooves required more and…

Nacarra | Horse

Connemara are Irish riding ponies that have always been prized for their frugality, health and reliability. So it is not surprising that many people choose these wonderful animals. This was also the case for an animal lover who bought one of these ponies in August 2019. Nacarra seemed to be the fulfillment of her dreams.…

Happy | Horse

Happy - We bought her from the cattle dealer The 3-year-old German coldblood had been taken out of the breeding stable and given to the cattle dealer. The breeding stock was to be reduced and Happy was therefore to be slaughtered. But fate had other plans. She now lives at Gut Aiderbichl in France and…

Idefix | Horse

Little Idefix found himself in a serious situation in 2004. He was standing at a slaughter horse market in Maishofen with many other conspecifics. Many a dealer had already taken an interest in him.

Nashi | Horse

We were shocked by what Nashi had to endure in his life. His rescuer and friend told us that for the first 7 years of his life he was only locked up - without daylight and without human care. The provision of basic needs was not the best either. She rescued him from this situation…

Pamino | Horse

We can only imagine what Pamino had to go through. When his "last" owners contacted us, they described the situation as follows: Their daughter lost her horse and wanted a new one. They started looking for a new one and found Pamino. They were obviously lied to by the sellers and bought Pamino. When it…

Luck | Horse

Luck and his friend Fifi no longer had much hope, as they had already been registered for transport to slaughter. Unfortunately, many losers in breeding fare just like them. As they were also cold-blooded horses, this made them all the more desirable for slaughter horse dealers. But by a stroke of fate, Fifi and Luck…

Wendy | 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…
