Rupert Isaacson
His life story is one that traverses a lot of territory. A journalist for the British and American press from the early 1990s, he has also published several guidebooks to Africa and India, and is the author of three non-fictional memoirs: The Healing Land (a New York Times Notable Book), which tells the story of his family in Africa, and of his own time spent living with the Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert; The Horse Boy (a New York Times and Sunday Times bestseller), which tells the story of his journey across Mongolia on horseback with his autistic son Rowan; and The Long Ride Home, which tells of the three subsequent healing journeys he and his son made to Africa, Australia and the Navajo Reservation, as well as his discovery of how horses can help autism and special needs in general.
Rupert, through Horse Boy foundation, offers scholarships and services to autism families and professionals. With New Trails Learning Systems he spreads the methods that have helped Rowan so immensely: Horse Boy Method (addressing autism and other neuro-psychiatric issues with the help of horses), Movement Method (academics through movement at home or in school for mainstream and special education), ATHENA (addressing trauma through horse trainings), and finally Long Ride Home (a program for higher levels of equitation and self-care (emotional, spiritual and personal development) for horsey people.
Horse Boy Method
How to get the effects in the brain and body in a therapeutic riding environment using the movement of the horse to create even more oxytocin than Movement Method owing to the sheer power in the horse’s hips. This is a more specialist approach than Movement Method and is aimed at professionals in the equestrian field. Training, maintenance and care of the Horse Boy Method horse is included in the 4 levels of training.

ATHENA
ATHENA – Applied Techniques using Horse-based, Neuroscientific and Educational Approaches = is a non-mounted equine assisted therapeutic approach aimed at adults and teens with trauma, autism, ADHD and other related conditions. The method pairs up people with the above conditions with horses needing to be trained or maintained in Horse Boy programs. Many of these horses come to the programs with previous trauma themselves and/or old injuries from past abuse. In the course of rehabbing these horses and bringing them to a point of well-being and training where they can work with vulnerable children with neuro-psychiatric conditions and transmit that well-being to the clients. The process of rehabbing and preparing the horses and bringing them to a better place is found to be massively effective with veterans with trauma, and young adults in therapeutic programs seeking self-advocacy and self-determination. ATHENA is used at a variety of equine assisted locations worldwide including the Bundeswehr (German Army) family camps in Eibenstock and Ahlen, Germany and with US veterans at the US Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs USA as well as at Square Peg Foundation, a mental health provider for San Mateo County (Silicon Valley) California, Move the Mind and Making Momentum in Bath and Manchester UK..
ATHENA will be offered in october 2024
