When our attention was drawn to Sultan and three other ponies, our breath stopped. Although the four had supposedly served in a circus for many years and had not even reached the middle of their lives, they were facing the end. Completely neglected and emaciated, they were waiting for their last transport to the slaughterhouse. When we heard about this sad fate, we took them under our protection and first had them medically treated. One pony even had to have an eye removed. Sultan has recovered well and is now happy to show himself in all his glory at Gut Aiderbichl in Deggendorf!
