For those who’ve read the Horse Boy Book, or watched the film Kristin is already a familiar figure. Rowan’s mother and Rupert’s wife, Kristin is not about horses at all – which makes her horseback journey across Mongolia all the more heroic. However, Kristin is a professor of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin and author of the ground breaking book ‘Self-Compassion, Stop Beating Yourself Up and Start Living’. Kristin’s insights into how self-compassion really help deal with the day to day challenges of being an autism parent (or therapist) are truly words of wisdom. We urge anyone interested in living a happier life to read her book.

The Horse Boy Method is not intended or offered as a cure for autism. Ameliorative effects may or may not occur. The method was found to be very useful with Rupert's son Rowan and with other children subsequently. We simply follow what worked for Rowan and others but there is no guarantee of outcome.
By participating in a Horse Boy Method session or training or applying them at home you accept full personal responsibility for any injury or death that can follow any equine activity. The Horse Boy Foundation accepts no liability.
Just as a reminder… The Horse Boy Method Training is an intro into the methods including but not limited to back-riding. We do NOT suggest that you go home and start back-riding with children. Practice, practice, practice! Seek professional advice from your trainers to deepen your skills as a rider and horseman/woman. Take lessons! Again, after the training you are probably NOT ready to ride with a child. Practice until you, your horses and your property are ready for back-riding! HORSE BOY LLC, IT’S MEMBERS, OFFICERS, TRAINERS ETC ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INJURY, DEATH OR DAMAGE CAUSED BY YOU BACKRIDING WITH A CHILD OR OTHER PERSON.
We do suggest you and anybody you work with wears protective gear like protective riding helmets etc.
