Horse Sissy

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…

Brandy | Horse

When we found Brandy at a horse market, we were shocked. No animal deserves to be neglected like that. Michael Aufhauser immediately bought the beautiful Brandy and other death candidates. Once they arrived at Gut Aiderbichl, you could tell that the animals could now take a deep breath. With a lot of love, patience and…

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…

Chakotay McCue | Horse

Chakotay McCue - The owner could no longer care for him Chakotay McCue (20 years old) could no longer be cared for properly by his owner for health reasons.

Schecky | Horse

Schecky lived with three other ponies with an animal-loving lady. But when she suddenly passed away, the ponies found themselves in free fall. Nobody wanted to take them on and so they suddenly found themselves on a transport to Italy for slaughter. Shortly before the transport reached the border, we were able to reach the…

Nala | Horse

Nala and her friend Neila came to us as foals. Now you might ask yourself: they still have their whole lives ahead of them, are healthy and fit - what are these horses doing on a sanctuary? Nala was simply not beautiful enough and if an Aiderbichler had not stood up for the two foals…

Lady | Horse

When life only gets a price per kilogram, something has gone very wrong. Lady found herself at a horse slaughter market in Maishofen. If Michael Aufhauser hadn't found her and bought her free, she would probably have found herself on a slaughter transport to the south or east of Europe. When we took Lady in,…

Traudl | Horse

Little Traudl is a happy mare who has never had to experience anything bad in her life because she was born at Aiderbichl. Her big sister Lilly was bought by Gut Aiderbichl at the foal market in Rottenbuch and brought to Gut Aiderbichl Iffeldorf. After looking through the pictures, Michael Aufhauser discovered a picture of…

Billy | Horse

Billy suffered a fate that affects so many ponies in Europe: they are bought for the children. After the initial euphoria has subsided, a certain indifference sets in until the children often lose interest completely. This was also the case with Billy and lasted over 15 years until the land on which they stood was…
