If you listen to NPR  then you might hear some news on the possible healing power of horses for autistic children. This week on “To The Best Of Our Knowledge”, Rupert Isaacson, author of last year’s bestseller (and now documentary) “The Horse Boy” is interviewed about his trip to visit Shamans in Mongolia to help treat his son’s autism.

It is a nice segment showing how the empathy and kindness of the Mongolian people are able to reach through to the seemingly unreachable autistic child and how finding ways to listen to Rowan’s needs turned his family around.

Btw, Baatar Hero will also be visiting Lake Hovsgal where the Dukha reindeer people live in Mongolia. We can’t wait to show it to you!
