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…

Uzalys | Horse

When Uzalys arrived at Gut Aiderbichl, she was completely terrified. He didn't know what was going to happen to him. The official vet reported that the mare and her friend Azzari were suffering in incredibly bad conditions. Hardly any fresh food or water. Such unbelievable neglect, so much suffering. The authorities were forced to confiscate…

Headline Eddy | Horse

One spring day in 2011, the unthinkable happened: a man stormed a government office, shot another man and took a hostage. He grabbed the phone and dialed a number. Gut Aiderbichl was on the other end. The man immediately demanded to speak to Michael Aufhauser. It was about his 14 horses that Gut Aiderbichl was…

Life is very short and sometimes the owners of animals are torn from their lives by a severe stroke of fate.

Nannerl | Horse

The owner of Mozart, Nannerl, Sissi and Flora realized that she could no longer take sufficient care of her animals.

Bubi | Horse

In difficult economic times, circuses also have to make tight budgets. The animals bought in the optimism of better times lose their place. When the circus made a guest appearance near Deggendorf, the director remembered Gut Aiderbichl and paid us a visit. We agreed to take in the three most controversial cases: Ludwig the donkey…

Nelke | Horse

When we came across Nelke 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 the…
