When La Vivi's mother, the pony mare Laurel, came to us at Gut Aiderbichl at the end of 2014, she was in a terrible condition. Neglected, emaciated and with a tumour under her eye, she was waiting in a dealer's stable for her final transport to one of the notorious slaughterhouses in the south or east of Europe. We were able to save Laurel at the last minute and first had her medically treated. Unfortunately, there was no hope for her eye. Our joy was all the greater when a healthy pony foal, little La Vivi, saw the light of day in March 2015.
