Photos and videos of the seven-year-old gray apple mare Saphira were sent through social media. Riding instructors became aware of the beautiful mare and made contact. More videos were sent and the total cost of the pony mare was transferred to the dealer. The anticipation of the pony was abruptly nipped in the bud when the transporter arrived in the yard. The vehicle was anything but a horse transporter. Inside the van, three ponies were tied closely together. They couldn't turn their heads to the left or right, dripping with sweat and completely exhausted, the ponies stood there waiting for the cords to be loosened. It also turned out that the pony delivered was not at all the pony that had been presented in the video. The driver didn't want to know anything about it and drove off again. The new owners kept the pony because they felt sorry for it and didn't want to put it through being loaded into the Sprinter again. Saphira was fully sedated and carefully brought into the box. Two things were clear: Saphira was not the advertised and paid-for pony, and the new owners had become the paying victims of a criminal gang. But one thing was equally clear to the animal-loving people: the pony should stay with them. But Saphira did not develop well and things became increasingly difficult for the new owners. They asked for help and to take her in at Gut Aiderbichl. Here in the Gut Aiderbichl B stable, she can now enjoy her life and stay forever.
