Sam, born 9 January 2017, is a cross between a French and English bulldog and came to Schauffs in spring 2017. After successfully overcoming puberty, he developed into a lovable buddy. Unfortunately, it turned out that he also carries the usual breed problems in his genetics, as he has deformed thoracic vertebrae and corresponding disc problems. A food intolerance made it necessary to put him on a hypoallergenic diet. Mrs Schauff cooks him a diet based on horse meat, and he also gets hypoallergenic dry food (Royal canin anallergenic/hypoallergenic). In 2019, he also suffered a (road) accident, which led to a certain degree of instability in the lumbar spine/lumbosacral area. I didn't treat him acutely after the accident, so I don't have access to the exact diagnoses. As far as I know, he was treated symptomatically and no CT/MRI was carried out. Since then, Sam has always needed support in the form of physiotherapy, muscle building and sometimes pain treatment.

Kimba, a red and white tomcat, came to the Schauffs at the end of 2012 as a young cat. If I remember correctly, he ran into them and managed to assert himself next to the very territorial old cat who was still alive at the time. Stubbornness wins the day. Schauffs accepted him and made him their "house cat" in all respects. A free-range cat before the Lord, who always liked to get involved in "territorial politics". Their search for a new home was now also focussed on ensuring that Kimba has a suitable free-range area again.

Siberia was born in Erftstadt and is an ex galloper. She ran quite successfully. She was taken out of racing due to a fissure. When we took her on, she was very insecure. She bit and kicked. We first built up her confidence through ground work. It was only after about 3/4 of a year that our bond was strong enough for us to slowly start riding her. She now goes out on her own with her rider without any problems. She has now become a calm and sociable mare. But she is and remains a little diva. Her unique character makes her a very special horse with lots of rough edges. You have to learn to love them. There are always new challenges, which we work on with a lot of love. Siri is anything but an 08 15 horse. You simply have to love her.

Mäxchen is our little hunk of peace and quiet. Our rock in the surf, our cuddle ball. We got him from a not-so-great stables. His hooves were miserable, he had exema and was quite lonely. He always wants to be everywhere. Mäxchen is very eager to learn and still wants to work. He doesn't like to think about retirement at all. He would do almost anything for a treat. His character is that of a cold-blooded horse that is too small. He is the first pony that I think would eat currywurst with chips if you served it to him. He loves riding from the ground, ground work and work on the longe and double lunge. Going for a walk is daft because there's no action. But after work, he demands his cuddle time and his work reward as a matter of course.
He doesn't like riding at all. No matter how big the rider or child is. So he doesn't get ridden. He's simply the best pony we've ever seen 🥰
