The Horse Boy by Rupert Isaacson
When their son Rowan was born, Rupert and Kristin's dream had come true. But the dream became a nightmare when he developed a disorder that left him incapable of speaking. Then, they stumbled across an old brown horse, Betsy, and when Rupert lifted Rowan onto Betsy's back, the effect on his son was nothing short of miraculous: he started to speak.
