Shari | Horse

A phone call saved the lives of 21 horses for slaughter that had been transported from Romania to Belgium. Animal rights activists were able to stop the transport and contacted Michael Aufhauser. They asked for his help. He did not hesitate and drove to the scene of the incident. At this point, it was already…

Nanda | Horse

In 2008, original Aiderbichler and horse expert Beatrice Bürchler-Keller became aware of four foals in her immediate neighborhood. They were Franches-Montagnes, which, in addition to their beauty, also stood out with their friendly and calm nature. However, they did not meet the breeding expectations. Their path seemed already mapped out. But Mrs. Bürchler-Keller did not…

Arno | Horse

It's like playing the lottery for the breeders. If they are insanely lucky, a foal can bring a lot of money. Breeders hope for this and accept that the vast majority of foals die. After all, hardly anyone is interested in foals that are not considered perfect representatives of their breed. In the fall, the…

Echo | Horse

When we heard about Echo, we simply wanted to help him. Animal friends had told us about him and asked us to help. For years, he was a very successful sport horse who had achieved a lot in his life. But when he could no longer keep up the workload and his level began to…

Flora | Horse

A riding stable operator contacted Gut Aiderbichl. He didn't know what to do because he had no way of helping himself. An elderly lady had contacted him a few hours earlier and told him about her problem. She owned two Noriker mares and two ponies and was completely overwhelmed with their care. She wanted to…

Susi | Horse

Stories like this happen every day and reach us very often. The money has run out, they have overextended themselves, they are in the red - the business has to close. This is what happened to the operators of a sanctuary who sacrificed all their savings, did nothing wrong and only did good. But in…

Simon | Horse

The strict breeding statutes for Haflingers claim an infinite number of victims: often their rejection is only due to the blaze or the color. Over 90% of Haflinger colts end up at the slaughterhouse. This was also Simon's destiny. Bravely and nervously, he climbed onto the ramp of an Italian death truck for horses, where…

Ivan | Horse

A horse owner asked Gut Aiderbichl to take in her 8 horses. She herself has health problems due to a tick bite on her right leg and does not believe that she will be able to look after the horses in the future. The horses are like children to her and must not become a…

Idefix | Horse

In our world, those who are weaker usually lose out. Unfortunately, the rule of thumb among horses is often: "If you're no good, you have to go." Idefix's life could have been so good if he hadn't broken his spine while playing as a yearling. All treatments failed. And when he also developed ataxia, which…

Moritz | Horse

A family had bought two ponies for the children. When they lost interest, the attitude also deteriorated. Both ponies were simply locked in a stable and ignored. When health problems arose, the family decided that they had to go. We brought Moritz and Hertha (unfortunately already deceased) to Gut Aiderbichl. Hertha was in such a…

Whisky | Horse

When we learned of Whisky's fate, it seemed that his fate was already sealed. The young warmblood gelding was considered "depressed and mentally disturbed". They simply didn't know what to do, so animal lovers begged us to take Whisky in. We were able to agree to take him in and brought Whisky to the equine…

Charm | Horse

An elderly couple lived happily with their horses. The animals never had to work, never had to be ridden and could simply be horses. The couple had promised them that. The idyll came to an end when old age made it increasingly difficult for the couple to look after their horses. A painful separation was…
