Horse Stan

Walze | Horse

An animal lover contacted the Gut Aiderbichl administration and told us about her problem. She is the proud owner of a horse called Wiener Walzer. She always spoke lovingly of her "Walze", who was now 23 years old. Unfortunately, however, her financial means no longer allowed her to provide him with the care he needed.…

Tiger | Horse

We have often wondered whether his name fits him. But then we see him standing in the pasture - so proud and self-confident, just like a tiger, and we have to laugh at our own doubts. Tiger is a loving stubborn dog who likes to nip at our jackets. He was used far too early…

Jumper | Horse

Jumper and his friends Jolly, Semino and Jane did not miss the chance to escape after being sold to a cattle dealer. One inattentive moment and the four of them slipped outside. Completely headless and without a destination, they ran off, happy just to be able to run. As fate would have it, they arrived…

Whisky | Horse

This well-behaved Haflinger gelding owes his life to chance and a camera team that accompanied us for an ARTE documentary in 2014. We wanted to show the team what it looks like in a stable and what the animals have to go through there. We wanted to show the viewers why we do what we…

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…

Cora | Horse

A long-time Aiderbichl resident turned to the Gut Aiderbichl administration with great concern. Since 2000, she has given countless horses a home and provided them with care and love. But this time it was different: in March, she took in a completely neglected mare who was in an appalling condition. She devotedly nursed the animal…

Jessina | Horse

I wonder what would have happened to the beautiful Jessina if she hadn't been discovered by an animal lover in Switzerland...? Because one thing was certain: she simply wasn't beautiful enough and didn't fit the standard breeding ideal. The animal lover contacted us and asked us to take Jessina in, because it was unacceptable that…

Candy | Horse

An Aiderbichler woman contacted us. She asked for help for the Haflinger mare Wendy and her pony friend Candy. Her husband had taken care of them and looked after them lovingly. For years, he found happiness and peace with them. But now he fell seriously ill and it became impossible for him to look after…

Dorita | Horse

When animal welfare activists contacted us and asked us for help, we were shocked. Michael Aufhauser and Dieter Ehrengruber immediately drove to Amstetten and found a van there, which was stopped by the animal welfare activists. One look inside the van was enough to understand the situation. 21 horses for slaughter were being transported from…

Moritz | Horse

A family had bought two ponies for the children. When they lost interest, the attitude also deteriorated. Both ponies were simply locked in a stable and ignored. When health problems arose, the family decided that they had to go. We brought Moritz and Hertha (unfortunately already deceased) to Gut Aiderbichl. Hertha was in such a…

Maxi | Horse

When the previous owner presented the 27-year-old Maxi to Gut Aiderbichl Ballermann Ranch in a state of complete distress, the ranch managers didn't think they were seeing things properly. The managers of the boarding stable, where he had previously been kept as the only Shetty in a herd of pensioners, had woven metal plates and…

Siegfried 5 | Horse

In September 2005, a story happened that really amazed us. A man stood at the gates of Gut Aiderbichl and told us that he had two foals for slaughter with him and if we couldn't buy them at the slaughter price, he would send them on a slaughter transport today. After fate had taken twisted…
