When Annette Engelhardt, from the Gut Aiderbichl Ballermann Ranch, received a call from an animal lover, she could no longer forget the fate of the three mares. She contacted Gut Aiderbichl's Managing Director Dieter Ehrengruber and told him what the animal lover had told her. That three mares were up to their knees in mud and had no access to fresh food and water. That a stallion would repeatedly mate the mares in an uncontrolled manner. She also told him that she simply could not forget the fate of the horses and that she would like to help them. Dieter Ehrengruber immediately agreed and made it possible for Paula, Hanna and Berta to start a new, happy life!
