The Healing Power of Horses | Julie Robins | TEDxAugusta

How can a one-time experience with an off-the-track thoroughbred change someone’s life? In this talk, Julie Robins shares her work with over 250 veterans who have had amazingly transformational experiences with horses. Julie is also the author of the book Ozzie and I, the story of her and her first horse. Julie has loved horses since she was a child and has worked with them in a professional capacity for over 25 years. In 2005, Julie founded the Aiken Horsemanship Academy to educate, inspire, and empower people and horses with lessons, clinics, and immersions. In 2014, she joined a team that brought Saratoga War Horse program to Aiken, SC. Julie has guided over 250 veterans through the connection process with off-the-track thoroughbreds seeing amazing transformative results for both people and horses. From starting horses under saddle to riding bridle-less, Julie loves and lives all things horses. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
