Horse Sari

Lovie | Horse

We don't just set our standards extremely high for us humans, especially when it comes to beauty. But also for animals. Every day we put ourselves and our animals under pressure to be the most beautiful in the whole country, often forgetting about life itself. Many thousands of horses, including foals, lose their lives every…

Wendy | Horse

It is common practice for pregnant animals to be sent to Italy for slaughter. They weigh more, so they are worth more. Wendy was one such case. Michael Aufhauser found her at a horse slaughter market in Salzburger Land. He was able to buy her back and bring her to us at Gut Aiderbichl. With…

Arielle | Horse

We were presented with a terrible sight when we were called by the veterinary office to inspect an animal: 19 almost starved horses, without bedding or food and kept in desolate conditions. Arielle was one of them. The Gut Aiderbichl team and Managing Director Dieter Ehrengruber could not look away, as some of them were…

Talizmán | Horse

The cheerful and carefree Talizmán experienced an odyssey at the beginning of his life that is hard to imagine. Born in Hungary, he was kept in undignified conditions. Filthy stables, hardly any food or care. An animal lover found him and pulled out all the stops to free him. She brought him to Germany with…

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…

Romy | Horse

When Romy moved to Gut Aiderbichl France, sponsors were present as part of a sponsorship trip. They were able to experience live how frightened little heaps became self-confident foals. If Gut Aiderbichl had not been there, the foals would certainly have found themselves on a transport to Italy for slaughter. Thanks to the commitment of…

El Diego | Horse

The two Freiberger foals Diego and Fernando were destined for the slaughterhouse. They did not correspond to the breeding ideal and were classified by us humans as second-class. This classification is otherwise known from porcelain, for example. But if Fernando and Diego could understand us, how could we explain this to them? You have to…

Martin | Horse

Our sunshine Martin almost never saw the light of day. His mother Martina was on a slaughter transport to Belgium in October 2007. There he would probably have simply been disposed of as an embryo. Animal rights activists stopped the transport as the conditions for the 21 horses were devastating. Thanks to the animal welfare…

Tami | 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…

Tiny | Horse

Tiny was bought free by Michael Aufhauser a year before Gut Aiderbichl was even opened to the public. At that time, Michael Aufhauser decided to place Tiny and his friend Pauli - of course with the promise that they would always be allowed to return home. Almost 13 years later, the time had come. The…

Epuna | Horse

When Epuna moved into Gut Aiderbichl France, sponsors were present as part of a sponsorship trip. They were able to see live how frightened young animals became self-confident foals. If it had not been for Gut Aiderbichl, the foals would certainly have found themselves on a transport to Italy for slaughter very soon. Thanks to…

Samurai | Horse

Samurai - one more Arabian at Gut Aiderbichl Samurai's owner had enjoyed her horse for many years, but due to various circumstances the owner became mentally ill and everything in her life seemed sad. She was also sad because no one wanted to take in her 29-year-old Samurai. She herself could no longer cope with…
