Before the Shetty stallion Fritzi came to us, he lived chained and alone in an old cow shed. A nightmare for a herd animal that desperately needs the company of conspecifics and exercise. Christine Aigner and her daughter Julia discovered him and bought him free. His former owner had underestimated the effort required to keep a pony stallion. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated case. Everyone is allowed to buy a pony, dog or cat without having to make a self-disclosure. Not infrequently, this results in unnecessary animal suffering and we are always eager to help where we can!
