For many years, the stately wallach had taken part in festive and carnival parades all over Germany together with his fellow stallion Adi. Pulling heavy carriages or floats was no problem for the powerful Percheron. But then the day came when Markus could no longer do his job and the well-behaved horse was retired. If Michael Aufhauser hadn't agreed to take him in years before, his retirement would have meant his transport to one of the notorious slaughterhouses in the south or east of Europe. With us he can enjoy his well-deserved retirement.
