The team at Remount are delighted to be hosting an Open Day this Sunday 22 October.
Located at 597 Laverstock Road Bowning the Open Day will run from 10:00am until 2:00pm. Yass locals “Goodvibes Choir” will be on site to entertain the crowd and the Yass Rotary Club are providing a sausage sizzle.
There is no entry fee and everyone is welcome to attend. Bring your own chair.
The day is a great opportunity for people who are considering attending Remount and would like to know more about the power of horses to heal. Since commencing operations in 2016, Remount has hosted over 450 First Responders and ADF Veterans from every state and territory of Australia.
Remount provides a “circuit-breaking” opportunity for people suffering PTSD, depression, isolation or lack of self esteem as a result of their service. These breakthroughs enable change in their lives which creates positive pathways to follow that has long lasting effect. Breakthroughs manifest in many ways and include:
• Increased social connection
• Reduced signs of PTSD
• Increased motivation and self worth
• Feeling connected and valued
• Sense of optimism about the future
• Renewed pride in service history
• Increased confidence
This primary impact is facilitated by understanding the language of the horse, then building a relationship with the horse – with the Drover being the leader. As a new team, the Drover then undertakes a task to muster cattle, applying the new relationship skills they have developed with the horse.
