Ricko | Horse

Animal lovers who had been buying horses from foal markets and rehoming them for years ran into financial problems themselves in 2012. They were unable to place the foals they had rescued and were left with their protégés. The animal lovers had problems caring for their animals and asked us for help. At first, we…

Alpache | Horse

Life in the circus also has its downsides. It is an existence under difficult conditions. In the beginning, the audience demanded exciting performances and attractions. But over time, the audience's expectations changed, they became skeptical and the animals in the circus gradually "disappeared". Only the horses, a dozen Friesian stallions and a few Arabians, remained…

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…

Sisco | Horse

When we received a passionate email from our animal rescuer Christian Kögl, we couldn't say "no". In this message, he described a situation that we wouldn't wish on any animal. One of his neighbors was keeping three horses in extremely poor conditions: No water, no hay, no exercise and no fresh air. The stable had…

André | Horse

In 2012, we also took care of poor foals that only the butcher was interested in. André was one of these candidates for death. Thanks to the efforts of a sponsor, we became aware of him and campaigned for his life. Didi, Severin and Sandro were also allowed to become Aiderbichlers that day. They are…

Reny | Horse

When Michael Aufhauser received a call from animal rights activists in Lower Austria, he immediately got into his car. The callers explained that they had been able to stop a horse slaughter transport containing 21 injured and completely exhausted slaughter horses. The animal welfare activists said they could help buy the horses back, but it…

Athena | Horse

When we are asked by the authorities whether we can help with a confiscation, we always have to assume the worst case scenario. We have to expect to take in completely neglected animals - animals that no longer expect anything positive from humans. Their only purpose in life seemed to be to give birth to…

Tessa | Horse

Many of our rescued animals owe their lives to someone who took a closer look. This miracle also happened to 2-month-old Tessa, who was born with a wry nose defect and found herself in a dealer's stable. An animal lover, who actually just wanted to buy hay, became aware of them and bought them both…

Donna | Horse

The Mohrenkopf-Noriker mares Donna and Saphira and the donkey mare Roxy had to be sold due to space and time constraints, but were to remain together and not be bred. These conditions were not met and the former owner bought the animals back. A friend took the animals in, but they could not be cared…

Manolo | Horse

When we became aware of Manolo 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…

Amy | 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…

Pumuckel | Horse

Circuses of the conventional kind no longer have a future. Dubious attractions in which animals have to perform strange and often degrading tricks on command are becoming less and less popular with people. Circuses are going bankrupt and having to sell their animals. One of Gut Aiderbichl's aims is to help animals in need. We…
