Horse Reny

Apollo | Horse

We very often receive inquiries from people who need to settle the estate of a deceased person. And it is not uncommon for them to have to find a home for their beloved pets. And very often it happens that the bereaved animals have to go because no one can look after them. Or perhaps…

Panja | Horse

An animal lover contacted the Gut Aiderbichl administration. When she told us her story, we were close to tears. She told us that she found out by chance that two mares were going to the slaughterhouse. When she went to look at them, the mother mare was supposedly lying tied up on the ground, covered…

Sophie | Horse

A lot of things happen at patent meetings. It so happened that an Aiderbichler woman approached Dieter Ehrengruber that day and, with tears in her eyes, pleaded for the lives of her seven riding school horses. She could no longer cope with the economic pressure. Her small riding school was not earning enough to continue…

Paula | Horse

When you talk to Paula, you often get the feeling that she understands you. Her eyes can be so attentive. We almost never got to know this wonderful mare because she was on a transport to Belgium for slaughter in October 2007. Animal welfare activists were able to stop the transport in Lower Austria, as…

Kathi | Horse

Kathi's story has already given many people food for thought and moved many to tears. Michael Aufhauser bought the foal 53 at a horse slaughter market. She was already on a transporter and was to be taken to Italy. We were able to prevent this and so we brought the little foal to Gut Aiderbichl.…

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…

Bibby | Horse

We couldn't reconstruct much of Bibby's history, she had been moved from one stable to the next too often. An animal lover had bought the well-behaved mare as a leisure horse, but when it became clear that Bibby could no longer be ridden due to osteoarthritis in both fetlock joints, she could no longer afford…

Conversano Darinka | Horse

What to do when horses get older? What to do when they can no longer be ridden? Not only Gut Aiderbichl, but also the Spanish Riding School in Vienna deals with these and many other questions. Because in their care there are many retired artists on four hooves who are no longer suitable for active…

Hatschi | Horse

When we heard from a little tamer that her dream of a big show in the ring had just been shattered, we asked ourselves whether this kind of entertainment was even necessary. Especially for so-called escape animals, a life in the ring is associated with pressure, stress and coercion. We have often adopted horses from…

Mansi | Horse

Mansi and Muna were with a very loving horse owner from foal age. Unfortunately, he had to reduce the size of his stables for financial reasons and asked to take in the two mares. He also wanted the two mares not to be separated, but to be able to spend the rest of their lives…

Karin | Horse

Karin - a pony in search of a new home. For Karin's owner, she was perhaps all she had left to enjoy. Her husband and mother were ill and needed more and more of her support. There was less and less time for the pony. So she desperately turned to Gut Aiderbichl's animal emergency center.…

Favory Dubovina | Horse

What to do when horses get older? What to do when they can no longer be ridden? Not only Gut Aiderbichl, but also the Spanish Riding School in Vienna deals with these and many other questions. Because in their care there are many retired artists on four hooves who are no longer suitable for active…
