Leonardo was one of the best and greatest in his sport. But as is often the case in life, he also reached an age at which he could no longer deliver the desired performance. There had long since been younger competitors who were simply better. Normally this is a death sentence. After all, it is not uncommon for healthy horses to be sent to slaughter after their service. But Leonardo had owners with a heart. They wanted a good home for their faithful friend - Gut Aiderbichl!

Donna | Horse

The Mohrenkopf-Noriker mares Donna and Saphira and the donkey mare Roxy had to be sold due to space and time constraints, but were to remain together and not be bred. These conditions were not met and the former owner bought the animals back. A friend took the animals in, but they could not be cared…

Berani | Horse

The dream of owning a horse often remains unfulfilled for many people. It can be particularly difficult if you are also small in stature, as an animal-loving family from Upper Austria found out.

Renzo | Horse

It is widely known that the Bavarians love their traditions. The breed of South German cold-blooded horses is bred with great passion, even if they are used more for leisure purposes. But they can often still be found harnessed up for parades. We found the lovely, affectionate and, above all, hungry Renzo at a horse…

Samurai | Horse

Samurai - one more Arabian at Gut Aiderbichl Samurai's owner had enjoyed her horse for many years, but due to various circumstances the owner became mentally ill and everything in her life seemed sad.
