Mariandl 2 is born and bred at Gut Aiderbichl. She never had to experience what it means to be separated from her beloved mother. Protected and loved, she was allowed to grow up with us. It all began with her sister Kathi, who was rescued by Michael Aufhauser in 2004. When we found the desperate foal, she had already been sold to an Italian butcher. For a surcharge he reversed the deal. That's how Kathi became part of our family. Everything seemed fine, but the little foal wouldn't eat because she missed her mother Mariandl unspeakably. Her condition worsened and so we decided to look for her mother and give her back to her. On that day, there was fog over Henndorf. Many visitors were witnesses. Obviously both felt their reunion and that before they could see each other. Mother Mariandl was already pregnant again and finally gave birth to Mariandl II at Gut Aiderbichl.
