When we bought Jerry and his companion from a cattle dealer, we were very shocked by their behavior. They kept attacking people. They even attacked the clinic staff at the clinic where they were to be neutered. One thing was clear: they were terrified. Our task now was to gain their trust and take away their fear. Jerry, who always gave the impression that he was running for cover every time the carers moved, has now come closer to us humans. There is no longer any trace of his original insecurity and panic. But one question remains: What have the two ponies had to go through? We will probably never know, and hopefully one day Jerry and his companion won't even remember.

Leni | 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…

Fee | Horse

When the cattle dealer brought the chestnut mare to us in the winter of 2013, he didn't have a good word to say for her. She had collapsed in his stable. Fee was actually destined for transportation to Eastern Europe. But because she was too weak for this, she was no longer allowed to be…

Pascha | Horse

The fact that Pasha can lead a sheltered life at Gut Aiderbichl today is thanks to a conversation between Michael Aufhauser and a cattle dealer. The cattle dealer told him that he had colleagues who had recently started exporting horses to the East. They were slaughtered there and sold to Italy as half horses. He…

Sunny | Horse

Little Sunny was only three years old when she came to Gut Aiderbichl. And yet she was to die. An Aiderbichl owner bought her and her mother mare Trixi. The journey to Gut Aiderbichl took its toll on Sunny, she was sweating profusely. She was very scared. She can't tell us anything about her life,…

Pergamon 2 | Horse

It is always very difficult for us to find out the history of "slaughter horses". First of all, we listen to what the horse dealer tells us. Pergamon, he said, was a horse that should have been slaughtered due to poor performance so as not to disgrace its noble lineage. Pergamon was to be slaughtered…

Percy | Horse

In September 2011, we received a call that really amazed us. A desperate woman was on the phone and she was crying. She was in the car near Bad Reichenhall, with a mare she had just bought free in the trailer. She had actually only been the rider, but when she heard that Percy was…

Carthago | Horse

An animal lover contacted us via WhatsApp. She had already been accompanying a Bavarian warmblood called Carthago for several years. They went through thick and thin together. The animal lover told us that the owner wanted to have her gelding put down. However, there was a serious reason for this: the owner simply no longer…

Chris | Horse

Chris was born on a small farm in Salzburger Land. Everything seemed perfect, but the very next day his mother's condition deteriorated. Chris and the little pony mare were immediately taken to a horse clinic - in vain, after 3 days she lost the fight for her life. The owner was unable to guarantee bottle-feeding,…

Lady | Horse

When life only gets a price per kilogram, something has gone very wrong. Lady found herself at a horse slaughter market in Maishofen. If Michael Aufhauser hadn't found her and bought her free, she would probably have found herself on a slaughter transport to the south or east of Europe. When we took Lady in,…

Mona Lisa | Horse

We found Mona Lisa and her daughter at a slaughter horse market in Maishofen, Salzburg. You can find markets like this everywhere, even in the middle of Munich. Michael Aufhauser became aware of them because the shy Mona Lisa was frantically trying to protect her little daughter Indra. We at Gut Aiderbichl know exactly how…

Nadira | Horse

Horse Nadira came to us through the Gut Aiderbichl animal insurance. Her owners had made provisions for the worst-case scenario, and unfortunately this happened sooner than expected. When the second horse died, the owners decided to bring Nadira to Gut Aiderbichl early because they simply could not and did not want to imagine a lonely…

Halla | Horse

Halla was already standing with other horses on a slaughter transport. The doors had already been closed and the departure was imminent. Animal lovers became aware of the horses and stood up for them. They asked us for help because they could not save the horses' lives on their own. They have found a home…
