Ponies don't have it easy. They are often bought for children to teach them about responsibility or to ride. But many quickly lose interest in the animals and turn to other things. Then it is usually the parents who take care of them. But for how long? Often the "friends" are then given back to the dealer after a few years. The "cuteness factor" is their undoing - some people can't understand why a pony doesn't like children. Thank God, Simmerl is no longer interested in all that. He lives at Gut Aiderbichl Spielberghof with his friends and has nothing to worry about.
