Many little girls wish for a pony for their birthday and some parents are happy to give in to their children's wishes. This is what happened to a family from the Salzburg region. They bought little Leo from a cattle dealer and took him home. But the family soon realized that this was not going to work out. Unlike other ponies, Leo had an incredible strength of will, which he asserted. He knows exactly what he wants and children are definitely not one of them. He hit, bit and climbed. Too dangerous for a child. The family asked us for help, because somehow they had taken him to their hearts. That's how he became an Aiderbichler!

Animal lovers became aware of the…

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.

Sunshine | Horse

Sunshine's story begins at an auction in the USA. Why the government tried to sell Aby as a future riding horse is unclear. As we watched Aby for a while longer, we noticed that whenever there was panic in the stall, a little bay mare would come to Aby's side, which seemed to calm them…

Bonita | Horse

The Noriker mare Bonita lives up to her name, which means "beauty". Before she became an Aiderbichler in October 2005, it almost looked as if her beauty would no longer be good enough. At the horse market in Maishofen, she was offered to horse dealers who would probably have sent her to Italy for slaughter.…

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…
