In 2012, Gut Aiderbichl rescued 14 goats from a circus whose animals had been confiscated. Among the goats was a black pony, "Roger", who was tied to a short rope in the middle of the goats. Once you know this spirited, bright pony, it is hard to imagine the torment Roger must have experienced in this tethering. Today, the cheeky gelding enjoys his walks in the paddock with his pony friends and is delighted with every bit of attention he receives from visitors to Gut Aiderbichl Deggendorf, now without a ring.
