Rupert Isaacson rides into Livermore, Berkeley to promote “Horse Boy”

Author/Producer to speak about his journey to Mongolia in search of a cure for his autistic son. Documentary movie debuts in Berkeley Friday.

How far would you go for the health and wellbeing of someone you love? In the movie based on the book he penned, Rupert Isaacson travels to Outer Mongolia with his wife and autistic son Rowan seeking the healing powers of the Shaman. The book and film, which opens Friday October 16 at Landmark’s Shattuck Theater in Berkeley (CLICK HERE to see the trailer), chronicles the Isaacsons' journey on horseback to the far reaches of the world in search of treatment for his son—this after discovering Rowan’s fascinating connection to animals, particularly horses, and the calming affect they have on his behavior.

Therefore, it is only natural that Isaacson, a Texas native, would mosey over to Livermore’s Hoofprints on the Heart Adaptive Riding Center (HOTHARC), a local non-profit organization specializing in providing equine therapy for people with disabilities. For two hours in a casual and interactive atmosphere, Rupert will be available to participate with riding students, answer questions, sign books, and compare operations between that of HOTHARC and his own ranch, where he provides equine therapy services as well. His exciting visit not only brings awareness to the epidemic of Autism, it promotes the profound benefits of equine therapy and Hoofprints on the Heart.
