Laila's life had already been saved once before she came to Gut Aiderbichl: at that time, a couple bought the pony mare for their granddaughter from a nearby farm when they realised that Laila was soon to be collected by the butcher. But at some point the granddaughter became too big for the Shetland pony, and the grandparents could no longer look after Laila for health reasons. However, the couple did not want to give the little mare into the hands of the butcher and so they made sure that Laila got a nice place at Gut Aiderbichl Deggendorf.
