Tanita | Horse

It is thanks to Aiderbichler Christa Clarin that Tanita is still alive today. She became aware of the Shetland pony mare and her sons Little John and Fridolin when she was already at a dealer. At just 11 years old, her life would have been cut short, even though ponies can easily reach the age…

Henri | Horse

The fact that Henri, Britta, Clausi, Ludmilla and other animals are still alive today is thanks to the active help of our sponsors. An Aiderbichler employee discovered animals in a dealer's stable. It was extremely dark, filthy and the animals were tied up with string. When he looked into the stable, sad eyes stared back…

Zorro | Horse

Zorro is a five-year-old Shetland pony and came to Gut Aiderbichl in Henndorf together with Edonis, Elvis and Jessy. It was important to the owners that the animals were brought together, i.e. not separated. They could no longer keep the ponies themselves due to health and financial problems and gave them up with a heavy…

Apollo | Horse

We very often receive inquiries from people who need to settle the estate of a deceased person. And it is not uncommon for them to have to find a home for their beloved pets. And very often it happens that the bereaved animals have to go because no one can look after them. Or perhaps…

Flori | Horse

Time and again, animal lovers prove to us that there is still hope for us humans when it comes to dealing with animals. With their commitment to animals in need, they prove that there are many like-minded people who see animals as living beings with feelings - for whom every life is precious. We also…

Benno | Horse

An elderly couple who love animals were determined to give their protégés, the ponies Benno and Liesl, a safe and secure life. They hadn't really reckoned with their own ageing. Then came the day when they had to admit to themselves that they were no longer able to make hay, muck out, groom and care…

Chef | Horse

When we heard from a little tamer that her dream of a big show in the ring had just been shattered, we asked ourselves whether this kind of entertainment is necessary. Especially for so-called escape animals, a life in the ring is associated with pressure, stress and compulsion. We have often adopted horses from the…

Paula | Horse

When you talk to Paula, you often get the feeling that she understands you. Her eyes can be so attentive. We almost never got to know this wonderful mare because she was on a transport to Belgium for slaughter in October 2007. Animal welfare activists were able to stop the transport in Lower Austria, as…

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…

Arno | Horse

It's like playing the lottery for the breeders. If they are insanely lucky, a foal can bring a lot of money. Breeders hope for this and accept that the vast majority of foals die. After all, hardly anyone is interested in foals that are not considered perfect representatives of their breed. In the fall, the…

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,…

Halfmoon | Horse

A dedicated animal lover had been looking after her best friend Halfmoon for 10 years. She had rescued him from the slaughterhouse and wanted to give him a nice forever home. He had been through many rough hands and was also used internationally in harness racing. He was correspondingly ill and injured - physically and…
