The fact that you can die of a broken heart is a cruel reality for us. We have often seen little foals stop eating out of sheer grief. This was also the case with Baricello. All consolation, all cuddles and every kind word bounced off his unspeakable grief. At that time, we were at the beginning of our work and thought we were the heroes. But our affection alone did not make the foal happy. We searched for his mother and found her as a carriage horse in the city. Chatleen's owner was willing to sell her to us and so she came to Gut Aiderbichl. The two looked at each other in disbelief at first, until the realization came. They were together again and would never be separated again. The skinny foal became a handsome gelding.
