The Horse Boy

Rupert Isaacson`s “The Horse Boy” is one family`s epic journey to rescue their son. Rupert and Kirstin Isaacson were heartbroken when they learned that their two-year-old son Rowan was autistic. And with each passing day, Rowan`s growing isolation, his uncontrollable fits, each failed treatment, filled them with despair. Then one day Rowan escaped and ran into a field of horses. Rupert watched in horror – but saw a miracle occur. The horses responded lovingly to Rowan – and he to them. Could Rowan`s affinity with these animals save their son from his condition? The Isaacsons left their home in Texas and travelled to the plains and mountains of Mongolia – the spiritual home of the horse – risking everything – their happiness, future and sanity – on an arduous epic horseback journey in search of a cure for Rowan…”An elegant, affecting narrative …a triumph of the human spirit”. (“Daily Telegraph”). “Captivating, incredible, a magical journey, an impossible dream”. (“Telegraph Weekend”). “It is probably only once in a critical lifetime that one will be moved almost to tears by [such] an account …the excellence of his writing [creates an] elegant, affecting narrative …a triumph of the human spirit”.(“Telegraph”). “Magical, miraculous, uplifting”. (“Daily Mail”). Rupert Isaacson is British but lives with his family in Texas, USA. He is an ex-professional horse trainer and founding director of the Indigenous Land Rights Fund. He is the author of “The Healing Land: A Kalahari Journey” and his journalism and travel writing has appeared in the “Daily Telegraph”, “Esquire”, “National Geographic”, “Independent on Sunday”, “Conde Nast Traveller”, “Daily Mail” and “The Field”.
