When we heard from a little tamer that her dream of a big show in the ring had just been shattered, we asked ourselves whether this kind of entertainment is necessary. Especially for so-called escape animals, a life in the ring is associated with pressure, stress and compulsion. We have often adopted horses from the circus and in every single case we have had to realize that the trauma runs deep: The trauma runs deep, but they always seize the chance of a new life. The young girl was very attached to her protégés, but they were now to be sold because the act was not a success. What this would have meant for the ponies is clear: there are simply too many ponies on the horse markets. We bought the "7 dwarves" free and brought them to Gut Aiderbichl. Much to the delight of the little girl, who greeted us beaming with joy. She knows that nothing will happen to her ponies at Gut Aiderbichl and that they will be allowed to stay until the end of their natural lives. She was allowed to perform the tricks she had practiced with her protégés one last time before the seven of them started their new lives. .
