==Personal==
Higgins was born in Sydney on 28 February 1958.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mosman Sporting Wall of Fame – Julie Elizabeth Higgins OAM )〕 She was born with Fanconi syndrome, which robs the bones of calcium and causes malabsorption of phosphate, vitamins, and sugar. Doctors did not expect her to live beyond the age of ten.〔 She never crawled, and when she began to walk at the age of nearly three, she experienced severe bowing in both legs.〔
She took up horseriding at the age of eight, because it was the only sport at which she could compete; as a result, her soft bones re-moulded themselves around the shape of a horse. she later said that "The horse became my legs and I could ride better than I could ever walk."〔 At the age of 22, she found that she could no longer ride because she had worn out her hip joints, and underwent her first hip replacement when she was 25. During her sixteen-year hiatus from the sport, she taught her husband, Phillip, how to ride, and was his coach and groom when he competed in eventing and show jumping.〔 She works as an associate to Justice Peter Hidden of the Supreme Court of New South Wales.
