Horse Sissi

Ya Bint | Horse

As part of the cooperation entered into with the Swiss Sandgrueb Foundation (Egg near Zurich) in 2019, Gut Aiderbichl assumed responsibility for the lifelong care of a healthy group of 15 Arabian mares. The Sandgrueb Foundation had taken over the stock of an Arabian horse breeder a few years earlier because she had reached her…

Andy | Horse

The fate of humans and animals is always interrelated; no one is a lone warrior. We must be aware of this. An animal lover contacted us by email and you could see that it was very difficult for her to write these lines. She told us that her partner had left her and that she…

Amielie | Horse

It was a rainy day. The staff at Gut Aiderbichl France had their hands full. Then the bell rang at the big gate. The neighboring farmer excitedly reports that three donkeys and three ponies belonging to another neighbor are being loaded by the butcher at this very moment. They are reluctant and terrified. A few…

Finn | Horse

Finn was bought in the belief that he was healthy. He moved in with his new owners full of joy. The whole family was curious to see what adventures they would have with Finn. What nobody suspected was that Finn was suffering from laminitis, an incurable, painful hoof disease that can occur in episodes. Finn's…

Pluto | Horse

Pluto became an Aiderbichler thanks to a wonderful collaboration between the legendary Lipizzaner stud farm in Piber and Gut Aiderbichl. He grew older and had to leave the stud. But the owners of Piber wanted to do something good for him and asked us to take in the well-behaved Pluto.

Krümel | Horse

Little Krümel was in a very difficult situation when Michael Aufhauser found him. He was standing together with many other ponies at a horse market in Maishofen. There was a great danger that he would have found himself on a horse transporter for slaughter, on his way to the south or east of Europe. At…

Zwergal | Horse

In tears and full of despair, a woman said goodbye to her two protégés on 11.05.2009. They were carefully loaded by Birgit Hojnik from the Gut Aiderbichl team. One last hug and Fio (sadly now deceased) and Zwergerl set off on their journey. That day we realized the full extent of the woman's fate. She…

Nuria | Horse

Nuria - No. 54 at the foal market Nobody at a foal market is interested in the animal's feelings. A number must not have feelings. We can't give Nuria's mother to her, but at Gut Aiderbichl she lives happily with other foals from the foal market: Pia, Mella, Alfred, Zafar and Herzog.

Flicka | Horse

It is usually very noisy at foal markets. When we found the young foal at a market that day, it was only called number 54. It ran dutifully alongside its mother, over and over again in circles. It didn't know what all the fuss was about. Michael Aufhauser and the Gut Aiderbichl team were on…

Caradas | Horse

Caradas is a 15-year-old gray horse and has osteoarthritis in his cervical spine. Before he found his new forever home at Gut Aiderbichl in Eslarn, Caradas was kept in a paddock with other horses. Caradas is an orphan of divorce - his owner could no longer afford her horse due to her changed circumstances.

Anja | 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…

Lucky | Horse

Lucky without her best friend Emmi - hard to imagine for the Aiderbichlers, who had looked after her and Emmi for years. The animal lovers have been Aiderbichlers from the very beginning and had promised their protégés that they would look after them forever. But for health reasons, they were unable to keep their promise.…
