Episodes
Early in hunting season, a magnificent male deer is spotted on Felix Brenner's land and he promises his girlfriend not to hunt it. However it wonders into the area of municipal chief huntsman Vinzenz Grieshaber, who gets up at night to hunt it, hoping to avoid Pauline's protests. Luckily he falls asleep. Farmhand Tomasz Kulka is commandeered to help him, but the kids mobilize to protect the deer and get smart help from vet Dr. Philip Hansen to lure it back in Felix's land with imitated calls.
Jan Kalkbrenner's joy to be reunited with father Martin is tainted by having to move into a farm, as he misses city life and has no neighbor boy as playmate. Not even sharing the girls' interest in horses, he wanders off to meet and befriend old loner Jakob Krämer, who has a fascinating blue macaw as pet. Vet Hanses sadly agrees with Jacob that since all meadows were drained, his two water buffaloes are unprofitable and impossible to sell, so he prepares to put them down. Jan protests, so as the bovines disappear over night, his father presumes he 'liberated them'. The bird's habit to fly to the pair actually helps Jan find them, persuading Jacob to spare them.
While Vincent is away, Tomasz welcomes teen cousin Fred, who moves into the farm loft, only Paulina notices his pet rat Gigi, until her kitten reacts duly defensive. Fred is told a rat is just not an acceptable pet on a farm, so needs to dispose of it. Meanwhile neighbor Huber's dog keeps escaping since his wife died, actually visiting her grave, strictly against cemetery rules, but both problems turn out canceling each-other.
To Lucy's horror, Ferdy and Martin's Z restaurant ordered a goat, which she presumes is to be slaughtered, so she abducts the animal, which proves a nasty, voracious handful, causing havoc around the Reiterhof. Nelly must deals with spoiled brat Zina, whose father, Martin's boss, an't spare time for her, so she pouts the promised riding classes are without him. Then the goat complicates that too.
Dr. Philip Hansen is not amused as his partner Helena let Josefine Grieshaber, whom she claimed to envy the 'calming' care for cattle, convince her to buy a sheep, only to find it's a herd of a dozen, non-returnable. Airhead Lucy decides Leonie's rabbit and those held by other local families are kept in too small cages, so kidnaps them leaving notes they will be returned when better housing is provided. The other girls help her, till Philip finds out and orders all bunnies returned.
The Hansen family runs a veterinary practice in the Black Forest. For Greta, her sister Lilie, father Philipp and mother Annette, everything revolves around the four-legged friends who live with them.
