      When his son Rowan was diagnosed with autism, Rupert Isaacson feared he might never communicate with his child. But when he discovered Rowan responded to horses, they travelled to Mongolia - the spiritual home of the horse - where shaman healing hands banished the tantrums, incontinence and the hopeless isolation. However, a year after Rowan's improvement, he started regressing. Only then did Rupert remember the shaman had told him that he and Rowan must make three more healing journeys. Journeying to the bushmen of Namibia and Australia's coastal rainforests and finally to America's Navajo reservation, Rupert discovered new ways of connecting with autistic children using nature, movement and animals. Through the process of healing Rowan and using his Horse Boy Method, he learned to unlock children from the most severe autistic symptoms. The Long Ride Home is the story of Rupert and Rowan's journeys - of incredible love and impossible adventure, that would test their courage and change their lives, and those of the families who joined them, forever. 'Magical, moving, miraculous, remarkable, uplifting.' Daily Mail on The Horse Boy 'Captivating, incredible, an extraordinary journey, an impossible dream.' Daily Telegraph on The Horse

    • Per i genitori di Rowan, il piccolo è un enigma. Non è come gli altri bambini: vive in un mondo isolato, lontano da persone ed emozioni, con una mente chiusa in una gabbia di vetro. La diagnosi dei medici, "disturbo pervasivo dello sviluppo", segna per Rupert e Kristin una condanna al silenzio e alla solitudine del loro bambino. Ma durante una passeggiata, Rowan incontra Betsy, un cavallo dal pelo marrone e occhi intelligenti. Tra i due scocca un amore a prima vista, e in sella a Betsy, Rowan inizia a comunicare le sue emozioni e paure. Questo straordinario legame spinge Rupert a intraprendere un viaggio disperato ma pieno di speranza: una spedizione in Mongolia. Qui, dove i cavalli furono addomesticati seimila anni fa e dove vive il popolo delle renne, Rowan entra in contatto con antiche tradizioni e sciamani che sembrano toccare la sua anima. In questo paesaggio mistico e selvaggio, la saggezza dei guaritori potrebbe finalmente aprire una breccia nella sua mente, portando nuove possibilità e connessioni.
