We can only guess what Pamino had to go through. When his "last" owners contacted us, they described the situation as follows: Their daughter lost her horse and wanted a new one. They started looking for a new one and found Pamino. Obviously they were lied to by the sellers and bought him. When it turned out at an equine clinic that he was no longer rideable at just under 6 years old, the family asked themselves what to do. Return him, put him to sleep or pass him on? The fear that he would fall into the wrong hands was too great and so they asked Gut Aiderbichl to take him in.
