An intensely personal and spirited conversation with Rupert Isaacson, a writer and former horse trainer, and Kristin Neff, a Psychology professor, on their young son’s harrowing journey navigating the bewildering terrain of autism, and their determined and relentless pursuit of hope and healing as a family. When two-year-old Rowan was diagnosed with autism, Rupert and Kristin sough the best medical care for him - but traditional therapies had little effect.  Then they discovered that Rowan has a profound affinity for animals - particularly horses - and the family set off on a quest that would change their lives forever.  The documentary Horse Boy follows this Texas couple and their autistic son as they trek on horseback through Outer Mongolia in an attempt to find healing for Rowan.
