Horse Wendy

Roy | Horse

When a cattle dealer arrived at our door, loaded with two foals, we initially thought he was joking. The man told us that if we couldn't buy the two foals from him immediately, he would take them to the slaughterhouse that very day. Now that the two were already there, we didn't want to send…

Attila | Horse

Our Attila stands proud and sublime. He has already achieved a lot in his life, because as a police horse he had to prove his nerve time and again. He was present at many riots and had a calming effect on the crowds, even when many a bottle was shot angrily in his direction. His…

Nuts | Horse

When Nuts arrived at Gut Aiderbichl France, he was just 225 days old. He did not meet the breeding standards and would probably have been sent to Italy for slaughter. However, an Aiderbichl lady became aware of the little Freiberger stallion and asked us for help. On that day, Nuts and five other foals became…

Gerold | Horse

Every animal rescue is special to us and no fate leaves us indifferent. But there are cases that shake us to the core. In October 2007, a transporter carrying 21 horses for slaughter was stopped by animal rights activists after it was noticed that the animals were in a devastating condition. They were to have…

Tomy 4 | Horse

When we entered the sales hall of a horse market, we were left breathless. The horses were lined up very close together, waiting to be bought. There were lots of cattle dealers and the atmosphere was oppressive. Then we spotted Tomy, who was very skeptical of people. He kept telling people that he didn't want…

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.…

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…

Eleonore | Horse

Eleonore - a mysterious Konik horse Eleonore (3 years old) was given to us by the horse dealer. She is skeptical and cautious towards people. No one can say what happened to her before Gut Aiderbichl. She keeps the secret to herself and is now raising her adopted foals Willow and Freya, two one-year-old Konik…

Funny | Horse

Unfortunately, stories like Fanny's happen every day and reach us very often: Fanny was handed in to a small sanctuary because the previous owner had overstretched himself financially and simply wanted to get rid of her. Unfortunately, the sanctuary in question was also under financial pressure and was in the red. The owners of the…

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…

Kiddy | Horse

Little Kiddy is a born Aiderbichler. We found his mother Wendy at a horse slaughter market in Maishofen. She was supposed to be sent pregnant on a slaughter transport to Italy. Kiddy would then simply have been disposed of as an embryo. The tragic thing is that many pregnant animals are sent on such transports…

Blacky | Horse

In difficult economic times, circuses also have to make tight budgets. The animals bought in the optimism of better times lose their place. When the circus made a guest appearance near Deggendorf, the director remembered Gut Aiderbichl and paid us a visit. We agreed to take in the three most controversial cases: Ludwig the donkey…
