Rupert’s son Rowan was diagnosed with autism at age 2. He had constant tantrums and almost no verbal skills. Rupert discovered that Rowan had a special connection with horses and that, while among them, he was calm and used speech. This was the beginning of an incredible journey, which led to healings by South African Bushmen and Mongolian shamans, and the cessation of many of Rowan’s autistic tendencies. Sound crazy or far-fetched? The interview is engaging and fascinating, and the story is ultimately one of love. Rupert has written a book, The Horse Boy, and a documentary, also called The Horse Boy, will be released this fall.
