Get ready for an exciting night while supporting a wonderful
cause!
Join us for the
No Limit
Texas Hold 'em Tournament Fundraiser benefiting the Horse Boy Foundation at
Jblack’s on Tuesday October, 5th
at 6pm.
About The Horse Boy Foundation:
Rupert Isaacson founded the Horse
Boy Foundation after his son, Rowan, who has autism, showed startling
improvement after a horseback trip to Mongolia. The story of Isaacson and wife
Kristin Neff's journey with their son was the subject of a book Isaacson wrote,
"The Horse Boy,"
and a 2009 documentary film of the same name “The Horse Boy” movie.
The Horse Boy Foundation
brings special needs (mainly kids on the autism spectrum) children and
‘neuro-typical’ (ie ‘normal’) children together, using the horse as a social
nexus. The Horse Boy Foundation runs a small center in Elgin,Texas where autism
families come for play dates with horses, other animals, and trail rides. The
Foundation also runs 3-4 day Horse Boy Camps in which families camp
together and journey each day on horseback. The Horse Boy Foundation does
not charge for its day to day services, but works on donations only –
the point being that no family should be excluded because of lack of financial
means.
The Horse Boy Foundation offer
premises, animals, and trained staff to facilitate, whether the goal be
occupational therapy, ABA, academics, straight riding lessons, or some
combination of them all.
