When ponies become uninteresting, they often have to give way and end up with a butcher. A small sanctuary was able to save the lives of Shetty and her daughter Susi. Everything seemed fine until the tide turned. And stories like this happen every day and reach us very often. The money has run out, they've overextended themselves, they're in the red - the business has to close. This is what happened to the operators of a farm of mercy, who sacrificed all their savings, did nothing wrong and only did good. But in the end it was clear: the little paradise had to close and the animals had to leave the farm. But where to? We were able to help and offer the small animal family a new home.

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…

Hilde | Horse

Necessity brings people together, and that's exactly what happened in the case of Hilde and little Lori. When Lori was born, we wanted nothing more than for her to be raised by her mother. But her mother died and Lori was now all alone. The Gut Aiderbichl team stepped in and provided Lori with the…

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…

Favory Biserka | 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…

Marcus | Horse

Marcus' story begins at the age of around 3 years in the waiting area of the slaughterhouse in Austin, Texas. As warmblood horses are rather rare in this area, an employee of the slaughterhouse became aware of the gelding. He informed his girlfriend, who was particularly interested in warmblood horses. The friend bought the horse…

Gazelle | Horse

When a horse lover contacted a dealer and ordered a Percheron foal from him, it was nothing unusual at first. The dealer found a mare in France, imported her and brought her to the woman. When she simply refused to pay the bill after several reminders, he became angry and drove there. He found a…

Renzo | Horse

It is widely known that the Bavarians love their traditions. The breed of South German cold-blooded horses is bred with great passion, even if they are used more for leisure purposes. But they can often still be found harnessed up for parades. We found the lovely, affectionate and, above all, hungry Renzo at a horse…

Mozart | Horse

By no means every animal story has to do with neglect, a spectacular escape or highly dramatic circumstances. Often it is stories of excessive demands, illness or financial problems that reach us - issues that can affect and happen to us all. The owner of Mozart, Nannerl, Sissi and Flora realized that she could no…

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…

Lani | Horse

Lani, a mare over twenty years old, came from an animal welfare case and was sold to good owners. The mare was to be sold back to the original owner via straw men. Before this happened, Lani was able to become an Aiderbichler and lives at Gut Aiderbichl France.

Jonathan | Horse

A few weeks ago, we received an email from the Salzburg region. Herold and Jonathan were looking for a new home. A farmer's wife had spent her whole life around the animals. At some point she retired and the farm was handed over. The cattle farm became a riding stable. The farmer's wife only wanted…
