PHHWV Horses

About our horses

Every horse and pony Project Hope Horse Welfare Victoria (PHHWV) rescues receives the best care and training to allow them to lead the full and happy life they deserve. It takes time, patience and extensive training for this transition to take place.

We use natural horsemanship to build their trust and confidence. We then determine if they will make a great riding horse, companion horse, therapy pony and more.

When a PHHWV horse is well and on the way to good health and handling or training, they are ready to be rehomed.

Keeping track of our horses

We do not sell horses or adopt them out, they remain a Project Hope horse. This is of great benefit to the new owner and the welfare of the horse. For example, should an owner’s circumstances change, and they can no longer care for their Project Hope horse, they can contact us and we will rehome the horse.

We take the utmost care to perfectly match our horses and ponies with their new owner to ensure all are set for a happy, long and bright future together.

How to lease a horse

You become a member for as long as the horse is in your care. In addition we ensure you are able to offer the following:

• Proper care such as regular worming, vaccinations, feet and teeth care, a safe environment and, veterinary care when needed.

• You can cover all costs involved in caring for a horse.

• Regular updates and pictures (no less than annually) about the life of your horse or pony. These stories may be featured on Project Hope's Facebook, website or other media (with privacy protected)
  
  
• Keep Project Hope informed of the horse or ponies address.
  
  
• Mares will not be bred with.

Meeting these requirements protects the welfare of the horse and provides support to the owner. 

We provide a thorough health and personality profile for you and can arrange for you to meet our equine friend/s.
