Amigo
A pony and his family needed help
Amigo’s owners are elderly and in very poor health. Neither of them is in a position to look after Amigo.
Many animals find themselves in situations like this, and unfortunately you can’t help them if you don’t know the situation. Once again, it is important to take a closer look and make a rescue attempt.
Amigo's condition was worrying
Amigo is about 10 years old and was found by an animal lover in a very questionable condition. Amigo came to his family at a very young age and everything seemed to be going well. Now the pony was discovered in a 4×4 metre stable. There was a paddock, which was also 4×4 metres in size. The hooves had not seen a farrier for over a year and laminitis was certainly causing him pain. Amigo was not socialised, tried to kick and bite. He resisted any sign of concession. What happened there?
There are always seemingly hopeless situations for people and animals. Lack of financial means, illness and other problems very often lead to situations in which nobody knows what to do. Thank heavens, there are always people who recognise and help. Unfortunately, Amigo could not stay with his “rescuing” human, but contacting Gut Aiderbichl was to bring about a positive turnaround in Amigo’s life.
Amigo slowly regains confidence
A Welsh pony like Amigo has a very warm character. His living conditions were not the best. Now, at Gut Aiderbichl Deggendorf, his mistrust seems to be slowly fading again.
The staff have noticed that he has friendly feelings for Felix, a six-year-old Freiberger, in particular. Felix’s calmness and composure are likely to be transferred to his new friend. They stand together in the pasture and go into the stable together. There is no more loneliness for Amigo, his hooves are cared for, as is his coat, and there is delicious hay and small horse treats here and there.
Amigo’s heart also beats for Vicky, a twenty-year-old Noriker horse born at Gut Aiderbichl. Hannerl, a calm mare, is also one of his new friends.
Like many people, Amigo also managed – thanks to attentive people – to find a new way out of his dreary existence and into a good future.
