Horse Nico

Spirit | Horse

Michael Aufhauser has always had a very special eye for animals. He was also very quick to recognize foals that would almost certainly be among the losers of the day and would most likely find themselves on a slaughter transport to Italy. He probably also saw this fate in Spirit. He bought him free and…

Manolo | Horse

When we became aware of Manolo and three other ponies, our breath caught in our throat. Although the four, who had supposedly worked in a circus for many years, had not even reached the middle of their lives, they were about to die. Completely neglected and emaciated, they were waiting for their last transport to…

Zafar | Horse

Zafar - Rescue at the last second Employees of Gut Aiderbichl took part in a foal auction. Zafar was discovered on a slaughter truck. We managed to stop Zafar's last journey and give him a happy life at Gut Aiderbichl.

Dusty | Horse

Two 25-year-old chestnut mares were the passion of a teacher from foal age onwards, who went on to train as a riding instructor over the years. Unfortunately, the passionate rider passed away a few months ago. Before he closed his eyes forever, his daughter promised him that Jenny and Dusty would be fine - she…

Dessert | Horse

It happens very often that people who are suffering from illnesses or are in the last third of their lives want to take care of the "afterlife". All things are taken care of, but often the animals are forgotten. What happens to the beloved dog when something "happens"? It is not uncommon for bereaved animals…

Karin | Horse

Karin - a pony in search of a new home. For Karin's owner, she was perhaps all she had left to enjoy. Her husband and mother were ill and needed more and more of her support. There was less and less time for the pony. So she desperately turned to Gut Aiderbichl's animal emergency center.…

Basti | Horse

Many ponies are like Basti. They are kept by older people who see a purpose in them. However, they are often bought for the grandchildren, who then lose interest or switch to "real horses". When one of the ponies dies, the problem arises of what to do with the second one. For many people, it…

Dreamer | Horse

Dreamer, Poco and Whitney lived for many years with a very animal-loving lady who lost her job time and again, but never stopped caring for her horses. Due to her age, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find a good job, so for financial reasons she wanted to find a safe and secure place for…

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…

Didi | Horse

Didi recently became an Aiderbichler. He was a leisure horse, was 17 years old at the time of admission and suffers from a lung disease. The owners didn't know what to do and were thinking of putting Didi down. The vet, however, was committed to Didi's survival and contacted Gut Aiderbichl. When Didi is stable,…

Michelle | Horse

When we found Michelle at a horse slaughter market in the middle of Austria, she was only a few months old. She was snuggled up very close to her mother Remy. It's hard to imagine what would have happened if Michael Aufhauser hadn't found them. They would probably have found themselves on a slaughter transport…

Neila | Horse

When you see Neila and her friend Nala running and playing like this, you could almost ask yourself why these fit and healthy horses are at a sanctuary? They still have their whole lives ahead of them. The reason is very simple - she was simply not beautiful enough and if an Aiderbichler had not…
