How does PHHWV differ from other horse rescue groups?
There are a number of horse rescue groups within Victoria; some are registered non-profit organisations and ran under a committee structure majority are ran by individuals. PHHWV is a registered non-for-profit organisation with tax deductible status, and must fulfil all the legal requirements that come with this. Our Executive Committee always makes decisions that adhere to a strict set of guidelines put forward in our constitution and with consideration of all State and Federal Government animal welfare laws. Over the past 35 years a lot of work has been done to create policies in line with our organisation and members’ philosophy of horse welfare. As a result some of our practises differ from other horse rescue groups.
