We provide education to both the equine community and the general public. Our aim is to improve the well-being of horses and safeguard against neglect by educating people about horse welfare issues.

Our educational work takes many forms: we respond to queries received through email, phone and Facebook. We produce and provide publications, conduct training days, webinars, demonstrations and have information available here on our website. Essential aspects of horse health that we address include feed and nutrition, hoof care, worming, teeth maintenance and end of life options.

On receiving a report about a horse that is potentially in trouble, we ask one of our trained Horse Representatives to attend and see what assistance PHHWV can provide. In some cases, advice or support to the owner can resolve the issue. In other cases, the owner will surrender the horse to PHHWV, whereupon we address welfare and rehabilitation needs with the help of our Short-Term Carers. We then seek to place the horse into Long Term Care through a lease agreement with our members.

Beyond basic care, we aim to work in accordance with the five domains of animal welfare.

You can provide hands-on help for Project Hope horses by having them join your family.

When a Project Hope horse is well and on the way to good health and handling, they are ready to be rehomed into long term care on a lease.

We do not sell horses or adopt them out, they remain a Project Hope horse with a lease attached. 

We perfectly match our horses and ponies with their new owner to ensure all are set for a long and happy future together.
