When Annette Engelhardt, from Gut Aiderbichl Ballermann Ranch, received a call from an animal lover, she could no longer forget the fate of the three mares. She contacted Gut Aiderbichl's managing director Dieter Ehrengruber and told him what the animal lover had told her. Three mares were standing up to their knees in dirt, had no access to fresh food and water and a stallion would keep mating them uncontrollably. She also told him that she simply could not forget the fate of the horses and that she would like to help them. Immediately Dieter Ehrengruber agreed and enabled Paula, Hanna and Berta to start a new, happy life!
