Cindy | Horse

Schecky lived with Cindy and three other ponies with an animal-loving lady. But when she suddenly passed away, the ponies found themselves in free fall. Nobody wanted to take them on and so they suddenly found themselves on a transport to Italy for slaughter. Shortly before the transport reached the border, we were able to…

Bluna | Horse

Anyone who sees the Polish Tarpan pony mare understandably wants to take her home with them straight away. She is beautiful, lamblike - but by no means boring. Spontaneous decisions when buying animals can often go wrong. Her owner was completely overwhelmed with her care. Bluna was confiscated by the official vet and, like so…

Anton | Horse

We don't know much about Anton's background. We can only guess that he was a "loser" at the foal auctions. No one was interested in Anton and he was ultimately to pay for this with his life. We were able to prevent this and put Anton under our protection. When he arrived at our home,…

Billy | Horse

Billy suffered a fate that affects so many ponies in Europe: they are bought for the children. After the initial euphoria has subsided, a certain indifference sets in until the children often lose interest completely. This was also the case with Billy and lasted over 15 years until the land on which they stood was…

Moonlight | Horse

An unusual partnership was formed at a stud farm in Germany. In addition to the normal business, there was also a school and tourism business. Everything went well until the long-standing friendship came to an end and a dispute broke out. Thus ended the cooperation and the supposedly safe life of the school horses. Older…

Hope | Horse

A long-time Aiderbichler resident asked Michael Aufhauser to give this beautiful gelding the name Hope. The colt, who was only 107 days old at the time, awakened hope in her and gave her some peace of mind. Hope was bought free from a horse market by Michael Aufhauser and the Gut Aiderbichl team, as many…

Roger | Horse

In 2012, Gut Aiderbichl rescued 14 goats from a circus whose animals had been confiscated. Among the goats was a black pony, "Roger", who was tied to a short rope in the middle of the goats. Once you know this spirited, bright pony, it is hard to imagine the torment Roger must have experienced in…

Piccolo | Horse

The University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna has been conducting animal experiments with ponies for many years, but also with other animals such as cattle, llamas and pigs. This has always been for the advancement of veterinary medicine and without the animal suffering known from other experiments. The research of recent years, in which seven…

Hilde | Horse

Necessity brings people together, and that's exactly what happened in the case of Hilde and little Lori. When Lori was born, we wanted nothing more than for her to be raised by her mother. But her mother died and Lori was now all alone. The Gut Aiderbichl team stepped in and provided Lori with the…

Sindy-Stella | Horse

Stella, a Noriker mare, was diagnosed with laminitis at the age of seven. Because of this diagnosis, she is no longer allowed out to pasture and the owners set about looking for a foster home where Stella could live well with her illness. The second option would have been to slaughter her. Stella lives in…

Moritz | Horse

When the authorities found Moritz and his fellow sufferers, they were not doing well. The two horses had to live out their lives in a dark stable together with cattle. The manure and urine reached their joints and they had never seen the sun, let alone a pasture where they could run and play. Fortunately,…

Vigo was confiscated by a veterinary office in Switzerland and initially placed in a clinic. After all the formalities had been dealt with, a place was sought for Vigo and he was initially found at Gut Aiderbichl Egg in Switzerland. The staff there did everything they could to nurse Vigo back to health. Now he…
