Introducing Magnum a 7 year - old ,7hh, black/brown Mini Shetland gelding.
Failures to provide this dear little soul the correct care over an extended period of time, has resulted in his 'Slipper Hooves', poor
condition along with a compromised state of not being valued as a sentient creature. Under veterinary advice, skilled farrier and
a very knowledgeable home, Magnum will be receiving the best of care during his extensive rehabilitation. We expect that Magnum will make a
remarkable recovery during his high intensive care plan with one of our most experienced short term carers.

Introducing Ruben a 20-year-old, 15.1hh, QH x Tb Gelding
Ruben came into our care under very upsetting and distressing circumstances. Previous owner had him from 16 months of age. He deserves many good years with a Long Term carer than can provide him with security and company of his own kind. In previous years, Ruben had been a ridden horse. As Ruben has just been surrendered, he will go through all the veterinary, dental, farrier and handling/ridden assessments. Initial comments are that he is a kind horse that just fits in. More details will be coming.
If you are interested in Ruben please get in touch via email - info@phhwv.org.au

Introducing Sasha a 25 yr old approx. ,7.2hh, Palouse mini mare.
Sasha is that pony who will make you smile each time you see and interact with her. For the young or the old, Sasha will give you so much
joy, as close to that unicorn pony you could possibly get.
You would never know that she had been living for well over a decade with constant pain and neglect. To add to all her
conditions, she had been living in total isolation with no company whatsoever for many years.
Full vet, dental and farrier assessments have been done and a very closely managed rehabilitation program was followed to give Sasha a
new life. Her short term carer has really made it possible for Sasha to have the most meaningful life.
Radiographs of both fronts revealed significant rotation of both pedal bones and evidence of demineralisation and minimal sole depth notably
on the right fore. Seedy toe has been present for many years. She still requires trims every three weeks and potentially looking at glue of
shoes with pads. However, 2 months into her rehab and she is moving around fine and farrier happy with the results of regular trimming.
There is no requirement of any pain meds currently.
Sasha’s blood tests confirmed PPID commonly known as Cushing’s. For this reason, she is on Pergolide each day – dosing her is no issue at
all, she welcomes all contact with people now. Easy to do anything with and has never shown any behaviour that is a concern.
Her teeth were also consistent with no care given for at least 10 years’ that we know of probably much longer. Dental Xray confirmed a
dislodged tooth within the left maxillary sinus which was causing reduced airflow from her left nostril. This has been addressed the tooth
was able to be extracted. Sasha is happily eating without pain, but will require 6-month check-ups as part of her ongoing plan.
The home that Sasha would thrive in would be one with company of her own kind. All indications are that she would make the ideal pony for
that little kid that just wants to fuss over and love her gently or equally in an adult only home - you know that grandparents’ horsey home
where the grandkids can interact with on visits. She is not to be ridden or used as a lead line pony. An experienced home that can manage a
PPID pony and knowledgeable with looking after a senior pony that only wants to have good times with good people.
Her current carer, frequently will sit out in the paddock and will have Sasha’s head on her lap as they both rest together.
P.S Yes Sasha is the pony that Amber Matthews has on Tik Tok,
Insta etc - dresses her up in Christmas costumes and plays with Missie
her other rescue
pony in all her videos/vlogs. Her mum does all the behind the scenes work! AS most of us horsey mums do right!
If you are interested in giving Sasha a long term care home, get in touch via email with your
inquiry.
