Short Term Carers

A PHHWV Short Term Carer takes on the responsibility of the initial care for the surrendered horse or pony.

The training PHHWV provides has been developed based on 35 years of rescuing and rehabilitating horses.  The type of care that horses will need in this initial phase of their rehabilitation does vary from case to case and these issues are addressed.  Other areas covered include assessing the horse for suitability for Long Term Care.

Short Term Care can lasts for a minimum of six weeks to six months or even longer just depending on the horse in question.  PHHWV generally covers the cost of the initial six weeks of the care program.

To be a STC you need to have dedication and be in it for the long haul.  We do require carers to have their own property and suitable facilities e.g. small yards and or stables, smaller paddocks and be available during day to monitor the horse depending on it condition.

Depending on interest PHHWV runs two training days a year for people interested in becoming carers.
