Delight

Delight

Introducing Delight a 20 yr-old 15hh Bay Thoroughbred gelding.

Although much loved by the family, their inexperience to properly look after him saw Delight at risk of declining further.
Delight is at the moment fairly quiet, calm and a real gentle soul. He is very polite and gentle with other horses and animals. He is showing that he is good to handle and is not fazed by anything so far. Delight is certainly showing a preference towards an apple or two and gently takes them from your hand. 
He's a pleasure to handle and enjoys being with people and will gladly accept a cuddle.
He was maybe a body score of 2 but just after a week of the right feeds in the right amounts he has already shown an improvement
He is in short term care with one of our experienced carers who will be working with local horse care professionals to get him back to the once grand horse he was. If appropriate he will be assessed for riding but only if his body builds up and his muscle tone improves. We are thinking that his kind nature, he may suit being a therapy horse.

Once Delight has completed his rehabilitation, he will be available for Long Term Lease. You can express your interest now by emailing

Located in the East Gippsland Shire . 

Magnum

Magnum

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. 

Located in Golden Plains Shire 

Ruben

Ruben

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

Scarlett

Scarlett

Scarlett is a 15.1hh chestnut Thoroughbred/Quarter horse x mare estimated to be 16 years old, Nice moving mare.

When she arrived, Scarlett’s background was unknown. Early observations noted assertiveness and anxiety.  
But underlying there was an intelligence and willingness to learn.  Scarlett spent time at Wendy's Horsmanship & Obstacle ranch showing us what she knew about obstacles from the ground. 
She then spent time witlh Brad West at Wild West Horsmanship training being assessed as a riding horse.
Scarlett spent 4 weeks with Brad where she regained her confidence under saddle and although initially a little tense, reacted well when ridden in the bush, on the road side and in the paddock with other horses. 

Her current carer can no longer keep Scarlett and has made the decision to rehome her.
The carer adores Scarlett and feels very safe when riding her.
Scarlett NEEDS an experienced rider whom she can look to for guidance and assurance.

A visit to meet Scarlett is a requirement and she is located in Mt Alexander Shire
Expressions of Interest are by submission of EOI form which is located on the Our Horses page.
