The VRC’s new charity partner Child and Racehorse Movement (CARM) is a collaboration between the KIDS Foundation and Rehab4Rehab to create a unique and innovative mental health and wellbeing program for children and retired racehorses. Through CARM, retired racehorses and kids share a journey together toward building strong, purposeful and beautiful lives. CARM will come to life with a special activation in the Flemington Fareground on Australian Guineas Day, which will provide a calm place for children to come and connect with miniature ponies. CARM Ambassador Michelle Payne OAM – who has a special connection to Flemington as the first female jockey to win the Lexus Melbourne Cup – will also be on-course to participate in an interview on the Flemington Fareground stage and available for a meet and greet session in The CARM Place, while CARM volunteers will be selling branded merchandise to raise vital funds.
