When we found Arcado, he was just six months old. He was standing there, huddled close to his foster mother. They were to be sent on a slaughter transport together. We wanted to prevent this and bought Arcado and Angela free. An examination revealed that he had chips (fragments of cartilage) in his hocks and that they were swollen accordingly. This was probably the reason why he had to leave. We gave him time at Gut Aiderbichl and soon the frightened and shy foal turned into a playful little stallion (later gelding) who was bursting with joie de vivre.
