If it hadn't been for that one visit, Novak wouldn't be alive today. Beatrice Bürchler-Keller visited her neighbor, who was a Freiberger breeder with passion. When she learned that Novak and three other foals did not meet the breeding expectations, she was very afraid for the good horse children. It was likely that they would find themselves on a slaughter transport to Italy. She turned to Gut Aiderbichl and asked Michael Aufhauser for help. He agreed to take in Naron, Nanda, Nico and Novak.
