Horses are part of our human story of civilisation. Now, no longer required to serve us in war, they are emerging as wise ambassadors for peace of mind and well-being.

Belinda is Director of Horsemanship for Health UK, and a writer,
teacher of philosophy, and social entrepreneur who lives and works in
South Devon. Her lifelong love for horses began when she was twelve
years old, when she also started writing. Belinda is fascinated by the
power of horses to transform human lives on many different levels and
is writing a philosophical memoir about her life and work. The team at
Horsemanship for Health work in collaboration with NHS health and
wellbeing partners in designing and delivering innovative projects that
promote emotional resilience, self-understanding and independence. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
