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.
When a PHHWV horse is on its way to good health and improved behaviours for foundational care they are ready to be rehomed. 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.
We take the utmost care to perfectly match our horses and ponies with their carer, to ensure all are set for a happy, long and bright future together.
