Eliot | Horse

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

Pan-Zahra | Horse

"You can call me Freddi," a desperate man opened the conversation with Michael Aufhauser. But the situation was by no means as relaxed as this sentence sounded. Shortly before, the man had stormed a government office, shot a man four times in the stomach and locked himself in an office with a hostage. This desperate…

Pan-Pan | Horse

Pan-Pan is a born Aiderbichler. He did not experience the turmoil and strokes of fate before his birth. His mother Dani became an Aiderbichler in March after her owner stormed a government office and barricaded himself in an office with a hostage. From there he called Gut Aiderbichl and demanded to see Michael Aufhauser. The…

Tiny | Horse

Tiny was born in 2000 in the stable tent of a traveling circus. He lived through the highs and lows of the family business and was sold to a dealer in February 2009 when the circus was once again in financial difficulties. He offered Tiny for sale at a horse market. A nine-year-old pony is…

Piri | Horse

Hope dies last and it is always worth fighting for a life. Piri's owner lived by exactly this principle. She would never have allowed anything to happen to her beloved mare, even if it meant missing out on important hospital stays. She had tried several times to place her mare privately and had no luck…

Stella | Horse

"I'm waiting" were the last words of a man who went to extremes to keep his horses well stabled. Six hours earlier, he stormed a government office and shot a man dead. Together with a hostage, he barricaded himself in an office and dialed the Gut Aiderbichl number. When he spoke to Michael Aufhauser, he…

Ravenna | Horse

Ravenna became an Aiderbichler because of a wonderful collaboration between the legendary Lipizzaner stud farm in Piber and Gut Aiderbichl. Her foals were very special and always produced outstanding performances. However, she herself grew older and was eventually taken out of the breeding service. As a thank you, the owners of Piber asked to take…

Rambo | Horse

When Rambo and Finn came to us, they were in a pitiful state. We didn't know if they would make it and did everything we could. But both are great fighters in small bodies and recovered well. They were warmly welcomed by foster father Bubbi and stepbrother Chris and have been inseparable ever since. But…

Fee | Horse

When the cattle dealer brought the chestnut mare to us in the winter of 2013, he didn't have a good word to say for her. She had collapsed in his stable. Fee was actually destined for transportation to Eastern Europe. But because she was too weak for this, she was no longer allowed to be…

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…

Ruppi | Horse

We found this beautiful Noriker gelding as a small foal at the Maishofen foal market. It was probably one of the most traumatic days in a foal's life. So many people, unfamiliar surroundings, so many noises and smells. Then the foals have to walk around a traffic circle next to their mothers to present themselves.…

Dorita | Horse

When animal welfare activists contacted us and asked us for help, we were shocked. Michael Aufhauser and Dieter Ehrengruber immediately drove to Amstetten and found a van there, which was stopped by the animal welfare activists. One look inside the van was enough to understand the situation. 21 horses for slaughter were being transported from…
