When Nonius came to us at Gut Aiderbichl Henndorf as a foal, he didn't even know the first three letters of the horse alphabet. In other words, he didn't know a halter, couldn't be led by a lead or give his hooves. But the little sunshine turned out to be a real model pupil and learned amazingly quickly. Perhaps this is also due to his great friend Fidelio, who moved into Gut Aiderbichl on the same day and immediately took the colt under his wing. Nonius was saved by us at the last minute. He would have been sent to the slaughterhouse the very next day.

Helena | Horse

Helena - We bought her from the cattle dealer The 3-year-old German coldblood had been discarded from the breeding stable and handed over to the cattle dealer. The breeding stock was to be reduced and Helena was therefore to be slaughtered. But fate had other plans. She now lives at Gut Aiderbichl in France and…

Laura | Horse

The animals' characters are just as different as ours. Some are easy to handle, others less so. Laura belongs more to the second category. She never warmed to vets and farriers, and her treatment was correspondingly difficult. Her owners no longer had the patience or the will to look after an unruly horse and turned…

Miss Molly | Horse

The owners of Molly only knew us through our YouTube channel. Their 15-year-old daughter in particular is a big fan. Buying Miss Molly was a long-awaited dream come true for the family, but it quickly turned into a nightmare. For unknown reasons, there were two serious accidents involving the daughter. The horse rolled over and…

Wendy | Horse

It is common practice for pregnant animals to be sent to Italy for slaughter. They weigh more, so they are worth more. Wendy was one such case. Michael Aufhauser found her at a horse slaughter market in Salzburger Land. He was able to buy her back and bring her to us at Gut Aiderbichl. With…

Harlim | Horse

Throughout his life, Harlim was always loyal, hard-working and sociable. He was never guilty of anything. For years, he taught children to ride with great patience and love. As he grew older and went blind in one eye, the riding school operators suddenly turned their backs on him. This handicap meant that he could no…

Tiger | Horse

We have often wondered whether his name fits him. But then we see him standing in the pasture - so proud and self-confident, just like a tiger, and we have to laugh at our own doubts. Tiger is a loving stubborn dog who likes to nip at our jackets. He was used far too early…

Ravenna | Horse

Ravenna became an Aiderbichler because of a wonderful collaboration between the legendary Lipizzaner stud farm in Piber and Gut Aiderbichl. Her foals were very special and always produced outstanding performances. However, she herself grew older and was eventually taken out of the breeding service. As a thank you, the owners of Piber asked to take…

Britta | 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 a string. When he looked into the stable, sad eyes stared…

Tessa | Horse

Many of our rescued animals owe their lives to someone who took a closer look. This miracle also happened to 2-month-old Tessa, who was born with a wry nose defect and found herself in a dealer's stable. An animal lover, who actually just wanted to buy hay, became aware of them and bought them both…

Max | Horse

Max and Moritz are two mini Shetland ponies that were kept by a great animal lover. But he was worried about what would happen if he was no longer able to or was no longer alive. Gut Aiderbichl animal insurance is there for such cases. The owner gratefully accepted the offer and asked us to…

Sari | Horse

A couple lovingly cared for their beautiful Arabian mares for years. But now the work was becoming increasingly difficult and their financial resources no longer allowed them to care for the two horses. Having been loyal Aiderbichlers for years, they turned to Gut Aiderbichl and asked for help. Sari and Poldi are now Aiderbichlers and…

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…
