Notes
Description
When his son, Rowan, was diagnosed with autism, Rupert Isaacson, a lifelong horesman, was devastated. Would he ever be able to communicate with his son, much less share the wonder of horses with him? Then something extraordinary happened. On a walk near their home one day, Rowan dodged beneath a fence and ran under the hooves of a neighbor's horse, a testy mare named Betsy. Instead of trampling him, the mare dipped her head and stood perfectly still, a moment of profound beauty and revelation. Rupert saw that his distant, unreachable son had a real connection with the horse. Rupert began taking Rowan for rides on Betsy, and soon Rowan started to speak and to improve remarkably.
