When we found Nico, he was snuggled up to his mother. The horse market in Rottach-Egern was very busy, with children wanting to stroke foals, traders wanting to inspect the goods and onlookers simply enjoying the hustle and bustle. By the time the auction began, Michael Aufhauser had already decided to help the foal. The chances of finding a private buyer and thus a life in good husbandry seemed slim that day. Nico became an Aiderbichler and is enjoying his life to the full.
