Finika | Horse

The cheeky little Finika belonged to an 11-year-old girl who saw Finika as her dream pony. The two had a deep friendship, but unfortunately there was a problem: Finika didn't want to be ridden and did everything she could to make this clear. She repeatedly threw the girl out of the saddle or simply went…

Thalia | Horse

The name Thalia has many meanings, such as in the Arabic light of paradise or in Turkish luck or fate. And all these meanings cannot even begin to describe the gratitude and happiness we felt when she first set foot on Gut Aiderbichl. Foal 37, which we discovered at the horse market in Rottenbuch, grew…

Siksika Snowflake | Horse

Siksika Snowflake - Nothing was in balance anymore Siksika Snowflake (18 years old) could no longer be cared for properly by her owner for health reasons. A friend stepped in and helped care for Siksika Snowflake wherever possible. An operation by the owner put Siksika Snowflake in a tricky situation. The horse owner's friend did…

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…

Mariella | Horse

When we took in the Noriker mare Fiona and her foal Henry in September 2013, the patient broodmare was already pregnant again. Henry was not suitable for breeding and so he was threatened with slaughter. At 3 a.m. on Good Friday, April 18, 2014, Fiona gave birth to a healthy filly. Mariella not only looks…

Always for progress and for veterinary medicine and without animal suffering, as is known from other experiments. The research of recent years, in which seven ponies have…

Freddy | Horse

Freddy was intended to be used as a children's riding horse and was already fully loaded at the age of 2. He bucked and kept throwing the children off. In such cases, Freddy was beaten and kicked so that he would "spurt again". But the pet owners kept him anyway. However, when the family began…

Alex | Horse

Alex belonged to a group of four ponies whose owner wanted to keep their place on her farm after her death in her will. What happened after her death is a mystery. One day we received a tip-off that the four ponies were on a death transport to one of the notorious piecework slaughterhouses in…

Tina | Horse

The beautiful Haflinger mare Tina was rescued from the slaughterhouse by an animal lover. She had made every effort to look after her Tina, but ultimately came to the conclusion that she was unable to cope with Tina both financially and in terms of time. The animal lover turned to us in 2005 and asked…

Agron | Horse

When we found the beautiful Agron, he was still a small foal. He was offered for sale at a foal market. He ran along faithfully next to his mother, not knowing what was going to happen to him. He was 137 days old that day. Horse dealers had already expressed their interest in Agron and…

Valerian | Horse

When we brought Valerian to Gut Aiderbichl, he was only 157 days old. He found his way to us via winding paths and was allowed to stay. What we didn't know was that Valerian had an undescended testicle hidden in his abdomen. This meant that the castration could not be carried out completely. This could…

Franzi | Horse

When the gelding got off the livestock dealer's truck on his arrival at Gut Aiderbichl Henndorf, you would have thought Franzi was a cold-blooded horse because of his body weight and stature. He had been fattened up over the previous months in order to achieve a higher slaughter price. In return, they had saved money…
