Horse Vaiana

Roger | Horse

In 2012, Gut Aiderbichl rescued 14 goats from a circus whose animals had been confiscated. Among the goats was a black pony, "Roger", who was tied to a short rope in the middle of the goats. Once you know this spirited, bright pony, it is hard to imagine the torment Roger must have experienced in…

Paris | Horse

The horse fairs take place every year in the fall. Heartbreaking scenes take place here when horse mothers are separated from their foals. But not every horse or pony finds a good place or a family to lovingly care for it. When the price bids become lower, only dealers are interested in the young animals.…

Oakland Lilly | Horse

Oakland Lilly belongs to the Shire Horse breed. They are extremely gentle cattle horses and come from England. Here they were often used as draft horses. Not infrequently in breweries. Their owners, an elderly couple, lived happily together with their horses, like a family. This little paradise was suddenly lost when old age brought the…

Manacor | Horse

When we received a call from a circus asking us for help, we couldn't say no. We are aware of the suffering that circus animals have to endure. All the tricks that humans can admire in the circus ring only work because the animals are put under pressure and are sometimes afraid. The Gut Aiderbichl…

Remos | Horse

The affectionate and loving gelding Remos was already very lucky at a young age. He was to be sold at a horse market in Rottach-Egern. The signs were not good that day. Many cattle dealers were there looking for the best "goods" to send on a slaughter transport to Italy. But Michael Aufhauser became aware…

Sultan | 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. Sultan was one of them. The Gut Aiderbichl team and managing director Dieter Ehrengruber could not look away, as some of them were…

Agron | Horse

When we found the beautiful Agron, he was still a small foal. He was offered for sale at a foal market. He ran along faithfully next to his mother, not knowing what was going to happen to him. He was 137 days old that day. Horse dealers had already expressed their interest in Agron and…

Maximus | Horse

When we met Maximus and his friend Brutus, they were in dire straits. They were not allowed to stay where they lived. And because there is a veritable "pony glut" in Europe, we wanted to help them and not leave them to their uncertain fate. So they both became Aiderbichlers and are allowed to stay…

Pimpel | Horse

When we heard from a little tamer that her dream of a big show in the ring had just been shattered, we asked ourselves whether this kind of entertainment is necessary. Especially for so-called escape animals, a life in the ring is associated with pressure, stress and coercion. We have often adopted horses from the…

Samurai | Horse

When ponies become uninteresting, they often have to give way and end up at auction. It is not uncommon for them to embark on the last journey of their lives. But a small sanctuary was able to save Samurai's life. Everything seemed fine until the tide turned. And stories like this happen every day and…

Sophie | Horse

A lot of things happen at patent meetings. It so happened that an Aiderbichler woman approached Dieter Ehrengruber that day and, with tears in her eyes, pleaded for the lives of her seven riding school horses. She could no longer cope with the economic pressure. Her small riding school was not earning enough to continue…

Lady | Horse

Lady and Lani came from an animal welfare case and were sold to good owners. The mares were to be sold back to the original owner via straw men. Before this happened, Lady and Lani were able to become Aiderbichl animals and live at Gut Aiderbichl France.
