New life in the Neandertal: Hadaya and Hannelore delight visitors!
The two one-year-old Heck horse mares Hadaya and Hannelore have just arrived at the Ice Age game reserve Neandertal. These two pretty ladies come from the renowned Hardehausen bison enclosure in East Westphalia. How Anzeiger24 According to reports, Hadaya and Hannelore are the daughters of the breeding stallion Myrrdin, who was once delivered from the Mettmann district to Hardehausen, where he now works as a breeding stallion.
With their arrival, the two mares will enrich the existing herd of horses in the game reserve, which currently consists of a stallion, three mares and their foals. The older mare Mila is taken out of breeding and is now looking for a new home where she can live without grazing. Hadaya is already planned as a future broodmare and will probably take over the role of Mila next year.
Tradition and observation opportunities

The combination of the preservation of traditional breeds and the opportunity for visitors to observe the animals in their natural environment makes the game reserve a popular destination for young and old.
