A few weeks ago, we received an email from Salzburger Land. Herold and Jonathan were looking for a new home. Her whole life, a farmer's wife had the animals around her. At some point she retired and the farm was handed over. The cattle farm became an equestrian farm. The farmer's wife wanted to keep only one box: the box for Herold and Jonathan. They were given a small pasture just for themselves, because they were not wanted with the horses. When they were young, the two had even gone on carriage rides with the family. Jonathan, the pony, had taught the donkey, Herold, how to do it. It was a time full of love for the two, and now love had to give way to reason. The farmer's wife was not allowed to lift anything heavy after an operation and then she also fell ill with Covid19. In the long run, help from the family was not to be expected. There were people who offered to help her, but she did not want to hire Herold and Jonathan elsewhere. "You have to know something about animals...They should have it good" - she was probably right. And so the two came to Gut Aiderbichl.
