The Noriker mare Bonita lives up to her name, because it means "beauty". Before she became part of our family in October 2005, it almost looked as if her beauty would no longer be good enough. At the horse market in Maishofen, she was offered to horse traders who would probably have sent her on a slaughter transport to Italy. No consideration would have been given to her feelings and probably not to whether the transport would be pleasant... But she was lucky and is now under our protection!
