Jane Joice | Horse

"The happiness of this earth lies on the backs of horses" and Jane really was very lucky. She, Jumper, Semino and their friend Jolly escaped from a cattle dealer and simply ran off. When the Gut Aiderbichl team became aware of the ponies, they were practically at our door and knocked on our door. We…

Sultan | Horse

When we came across Sultan and three other ponies, our breath caught in our throat. Although the four of them had supposedly worked in a circus for many years and had not even reached the middle of their lives, they were about to die. Completely neglected and emaciated, they were waiting for their last transport…

Elli | Horse

Elli's life story is not a good one. The 17-year-old Hanoverian mare was taken from her owner by the veterinary office and handed over to Gut Aiderbichl by the veterinary office. Elli suffers from severe asthma, which we are now having treated by our specialists. We wish Elli a protected and loving life at Gut…

Snorre 2 | Horse

We found little Snorre at just 3 years old at a horse slaughter market in Maishofen. Cattle dealers were already interested in him to send him on a slaughter transport to the south or east of Europe. Perhaps he would have found a private buyer, but that seemed rather unlikely at the time. Michael Aufhauser…

Swen | Horse

For years, the ponies Swen and Alex had been faithful companions to an animal-loving couple who had been looking after them for years. Alex was even born on their farm. But now age has taken its toll and caring for the ponies is becoming increasingly difficult. When the owner was also confined to a wheelchair,…

Amina | 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 on completely neglected animals - animals that no longer expect anything positive from humans. Their only purpose in life seemed to be to give birth to…

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…

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…

Anton | Horse

Anton's fate seemed sealed, even though he was only two years old. When an animal lover contacted us, he only had 24 hours to live. What sounds like a thriller is unfortunately very often the brutal reality. The animal friend told us that Anton was a knock knock stallion, meaning that one of his testicles…

Namy | 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 previously because she had reached her…

Mundl | Horse

Every year in the fall, horse breeders sell their foals born in the spring - usually at auctions. Again and again, Gut Aiderbichl was there to help raise money. This is because more than 70 percent of the foals presented do not find a buyer who can guarantee them a future. They go to middlemen…

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,…
