Two Aiderbichler women came across the 10-year-old donkey Olympe and her foal Mona by chance while visiting a farmer. They were completely neglected and, above all, their hooves were in a catastrophic condition. Olympe could barely take a step, she was literally buckling and every step was painful. The owner gave the Aiderbichlers an ultimatum. That was to take the donkeys away immediately. Olympe and Mona were to go to the dealer the next day, and that would have been a death sentence. And this despite the fact that Olympe was already pregnant again. The Aiderbichlers bought the donkeys and asked Gut Aiderbichl for help. Shortly afterwards, Olympe and Mona arrived in Henndorf, where they first received medical treatment.
