Heads Up Buyers – The person who placed the ad is a proven scammer & similar ads have been found for the same animal under different names. The ad I’ve left up for reference & discussion because the scam ads tend use the same descriptions & photos. The people who asked me to place this ad are in no way affiliated with The Equinest, I’ve removed any contact info for them & urge everyone to read the comments for more information.

The Horse Boy by Rupert Isaacson

horse-boy1Recently I was contacted by Fran Jurga about an interesting new book that is worth checking out called The Horse Boy by Rupert Isaacson.

The Background

This is a true story of Mr. Isaacson’s son, Rowan who was diagnosed with autism, a condition which made communication with him almost impossible. An encounter with the neighbor’s horse became a shining moment which helped to pull Rowan out of his shell and improve his condition.

The Story

This enlightened moment inspired Rupert to take his son to the steppes of Mongolia, where horses have long been an ingrained and spiritual part of everyday life. There they hoped to consult shamans for help with Rowan’s condition.

Horse Boy is the story of the Isaacson family’s adventure in Mongolia, their trials and tribulations as they wander the landscape of autism and find a connection with nature. Absolutely without a doubt going to be a tearjerker.
