Sissi and Shakira
the succession had not been clarified
Sissi and Shakira, two beautiful Trakehner mares aged 17 and 20, suddenly found themselves alone. A fate that has befallen many animals that have since found a home at our meeting centres.
After the owner’s death, both mares had already been placed, but unfortunately nothing came of it. Under no circumstances were they to be sent to the slaughterhouse.
They could stay in a stable for a few more weeks, but then they would have had to find a new home.
What will happen to my pet if I can no longer look after it?
One answer to this question, for example, is Gut Aiderbichl’s provision for pets.
Gut Aiderbichl founder Michael Aufhauser always wanted his animals to be cared for in an emergency in the same way that he cared for them himself before his illness. This wish gave rise to the Gut Aiderbichl provision for pets. This provision for pets guarantees the professional and loving care of the animal until its natural end of life. Please contact our hotline on 0800/5676373 to clarify any questions you may have regarding the provision for pets.
The special talent of the Trakehner
Sissi and Shakira belong to the oldest German riding horse breed. They are noble, spirited and sensitive.
Although the two mares have reached an advanced age, they lack nothing in terms of elegance and pride.
The Trakehner originally comes from East Prussia, and there from the village of Trakehnen, where the horses have been bred since the 13th century.
In 1732, Friedrich Wilhelm, King of Prussia, founded the royal Trakehner stud farm. The stud produced elegant and strong carriage horses. Later, Trakehner horses were used in the military. The decision was made to refine the Trakehner breed and Arabians and English thoroughbreds were used in Trakehner breeding.
The uncertain fate of the horses Sissi and Shakira should have a happy ending
A friend of the deceased and the authorities supported the continued life of the two Trakehner horses Sissi and Shakira and so they came to Gut Aiderbichl in Deggendorf.
After a short familiarisation phase, the two elegant mares have integrated themselves into the herd of rescued horses from Deggendorf. They have made friends with two mares in particular, who were also taken in a few months ago. Dusty and Jenny also came to Deggendorf after the death of their owner. There they can be visited by the family and are always very happy when they recognise the voices of their humans, with whom they had lived for many years. You could say that a shared fate is an easier fate.
Sissi and Shakira certainly had a good time with their deceased owner. It was certainly a life full of love, affection and loyalty to the animals. The mares should have a good, harmonious life and our animal carers in Deggendorf do everything they can to ensure that Sissi and her friend Shakira want for nothing.
Give a horse what it needs and it will give you its heart.
