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…

Lucky | Horse

Lucky - enjoying his retirement At almost 27 years old, Lucky had to be given up by his owner for health and financial reasons. It was becoming increasingly difficult for her to look after Lucky seven days a week. It was with a heavy heart that she handed Lucky over to Gut Aiderbichl, but in…

Acedius | Horse

With our animal rescues, we are constantly looking for ways to communicate our findings and knowledge to the public. With the rescue of Acedius and many other foals, we were able to report on this again in 2010 and educate people. At that time, foal number 105, which we later named Acedius, was only 137…

Obelix | Horse

When we saw him, he immediately reminded us of Obelix from the Asterix comics. Gentle and sweet as he presented himself to us, we couldn't think of a better name for him. Obelix was 133 days old when he and other members of his species arrived at Gut Aiderbichl. He had to present himself at…

Halla | Horse

Halla was already standing with other horses on a slaughter transport. The doors had already been closed and the departure was imminent. Animal lovers became aware of the horses and stood up for them. They asked us for help because they could not save the horses' lives on their own. They have found a home…

Hanna | Horse

When Hanna and her fellow sufferers arrived at the Gut Aiderbichl Ballermann Ranch, it was a picture of misery. Their hooves were far too long and their tails were caked with dirt and manure from the past few years. You could see that they were totally weakened and exhausted. Animal lovers became aware of the…

Lilly | Horse

Pony Lilly was handed over to Gut Aiderbichl Deggendorf at the age of 27. She was accompanied by the 18-year-old donkey Fridolin. The animal husbandry was dissolved and the two were now looking for a new forever home. It's good that there are people who look and help, because what would have been the fate…

Ayam | Horse

As part of the cooperation entered into with the Swiss Sandgrueb Foundation (Egg near Zurich) in 2019, Gut Aiderbichl assumed responsibility for the lifelong care of a healthy group of 15 Arabian mares. The Sandgrueb Foundation had taken over the stock of an Arabian horse breeder a few years previously because she had reached her…

Whisky | Horse

This well-behaved Haflinger gelding owes his life to chance and a camera team that accompanied us for an ARTE documentary in 2014. We wanted to show the team what it looks like in a stable and what the animals have to go through there. We wanted to show the viewers why we do what we…

Tonic | 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 in completely neglected animals - animals that no longer expect anything positive from humans. Their only purpose in life seemed to be to give birth to…

Chipsi | Horse

Little Chipsi had a stroke of luck. Together with other ponies, she was at a horse dealer's and had nothing more to expect from life. When an Aiderbichler woman became aware of the ponies, she was heartbroken. They stood there, neglected and alone. She questioned the situation and when she learned that the animals were…

Doni | Horse

Doni and Chico found a new home at Gut Aiderbichl because their owner was no longer able to look after them due to osteoarthritis. The daily care of the horses was becoming a burden for the couple, and animal care at Gut Aiderbichl ensured that the two horses would be placed in loving hands in…
