Estate manager Maria Kaindl learned of two pregnant pony mares that would probably be slaughtered if no owner could be found. The trader who told her about them also showed her photos. She didn't have to ask long, bought the two free and housed them at her home farm. A few months later they gave birth to their foals. Sternchen was completely healthy and bright, as a foal should be. Lucy's foal was born dead. But the presence of Sternchen helped the grieving mother mare overcome her loss. When her stable had to give way, Maria Kaindl asked for her three friends to be taken in. Since then they have been making Gut Aiderbichl Henndorf unsafe.
