JOE CAMP is the writer, producer, and director of all the celebrated Benji movies and programs and the creator of the canine superstar.
“One cannot help but be touched by Camp’s love and sympathy for
animals and by his eloquence on the subject.”
—Michael Korda, The Washington Post
“Heartwarming, joyful and triumphant lightly describes this
literary gem by Joe Camp, author, producer, director and, now,
horseman. Not just for horse lovers but for anyone who has loved
any living creature.”
—True Cowboy Magazine
“This book is absolutely fabulous! An amazing, amazing book. You’re
going to love it.”
—Janet Parshall’s America
“Who should read this book? Every person who has a relationship
with a horse, other animals, spouse, family, or other humans. So
that includes just about everybody.”
—The Rider Magazine
“Joe Camp is a gifted storyteller and when he turns his talents to
his newest passion, the horse, the results are magical. Few veteran
horsemen can impart the insights about horses that Joe Camp, a
relative newcomer, has done in his book The Soul of a Horse. Joe
entertains, educates and empowers, baring his own soul while
articulating keystone principles of a modern revolution in
horsemanship.”
—Rick Lamb, TV/Radio host "The Horse Show,” Author of Human to
Horseman
“One does not have to love horses to appreciate Joe Camp’s new
book, The Soul of a Horse. And those who don’t already love horses
surely will by the time they finish reading.”
—Bloggernews
“Joe Camp’s The Soul of a Horse: Life Lessons from the Herd
presents the history and majesty of equines in a way that truly
touches the heart weaving an engaging tapestry of writings that
explore the evolutionary development of horses along with Camp’s
present day relationship with the horses that have chosen him as
their leader. A treasure map leading to untold riches.”
—The World Magazine
“Joe Camp … writes about horses with empathy, curiosity, and a deep
regard for equine instincts and behavior. He began to question why
horsemen used traditional methods of horse care, and pursued a more
natural path to training and horsemanship. He turned his horses
out, applied natural hoof care principles, and relished the new
insights herd behavior gave him -- into not only horses, but into
himself, too. It’s a book that encourages the reader, gently, to
step into the herd and learn.”
—Horse and Rider
“You will never look at a horse race, or a herd of mustangs, or
even the canine of dubious parentage that is lounging on your
couch, the same way.”
—Las Vegas Review-Journal
“The tightly written, simply designed . . . chapters often read
like short stories that flow from the heart, not just from the
corral.”
—Joplin Independent
"Hundreds of other books about horses, training, and equine
management have been published, but Camp's easy-to-read prose,
humor, and enlightening tales bring readers to question what truly
is best for the horse."
—Library Journal
"Joe shows that animals can change your perspective and perhaps
even your life. This book is about compromise, trust, and love.
There are life lessons to be learned here that go beyond the
pasture and affect the quality of your life. Read this book and
feel your heart open."
—Mike Thompson, Writer-Producer of the new Universal film
Traveling
"Yes, it's a "horse" book... but really, it's so much more.
This book is about relationships, choices, acceptance, trust,
compromise, and love. Take the horses out of it, and it tells
stories of life lessons and teaches that the quality of life is
often in the choices we make."
—Susan Sherlock, Recording Artist
"Joe speaks a clear and simple truth that grabs hold of your
heart."
—Yvonne Welz, Editor, The Horse's Hoof Magazine
"Joe Camp is a natural when it comes to understanding how animals
tick and a genius at telling us their story. The Soul of a Horse is
a must read for those who love animals of any species."
—Monty Roberts, author of New York Times best-seller The Man Who
Listens to Horses
"The Soul of a Horse is beautiful. Everyone who reads this book
will laugh a little, cry a little, and think a lot; about the
horse, about mankind, and about themselves."
—Pete Ramey, author, speaker, Hoof Rehabilitation Specialist
"I wish you could hear my excitement for Joe Camp's new book, The
Soul of a Horse. It is unique, powerful, needed."
—Dr. Marty Becker, best-selling author of several Chicken Soup for
the Soul books and popular veterinary contributor to ABC's Good
Morning America
"I am amazed and in awe...and I'm a tough, cynical woman. The ideas
in this book are phenomenal."
—Holly Hazard, Innovations Director, Humane Society of the United
States
"It's lovely! I found myself wiping away a tear on more than one
occasion. I like the mix of 'fable' and real stories from Joe's own
farm and experiences."
—Gaynor Renwick, Manager, Horses First Racing Club; Warminster,
England
"Joe Camp's The Soul of a Horse: Life Lessons from the Herd
presents the history and majesty of equines in a way that truly
touches the heart. Camp accomplishes this by weaving an engaging
tapestry of writings that explore the evolutionary development of
horses along with Camp's present day relationship with the horses
that have chosen him as their leader. A treasure map leading to
untold riches."
—Candace Runaas, PET Home Magazine
"I was so excited to read this awesome book (or a draft of it) that
I could not stop until I was finished. I cannot wait for it to be
published and available! I am already compiling a list of people I
want to pre-order it for as a gift. Joe is a great story teller. He
has managed to pull together all of the aspects that make up this
new paradigm of horse care called "natural horsemanship", and has
done so in a manner that is some how both gentle and forgiving to
the reader as well as absolutely unquestionable. He makes it simple
and so obviously the best way to keep and relate to horses. There
will be so many horses (and people) that will benefit tremendously
from this book! What a blessing Joe Camp is.”
—Terry Jenkins, Retired Zoo Sanctuary manager and animal
advocate
"I simply love the way Joe Camp writes. He stirs my soul. He has
successfully woven his personal story with horses, with a mountain
of valuable information, from many professional Natural Horse
people, into a spellbinding book. I have cheered and cried as I
have read the pages of his manuscript. I find I keep saying to
myself, "THIS IS THE WAY HORSES SHOULD BE TREATED!! This is a must
read book for everyone.”
—Debbie K
"The book was fantastic!! I am so impressed. The writing gets
straight to the heart of the problem with horse care today: it's
not about the horse anymore!!"
—Ellen Siedlecki, Equine Verternarian
"The old adage "If it isn't broke don't fix it" may never be shown
more true with horses than in Joe's book. He shows how people
have broken most, if not all, of the ways horses were made to live
and how to make things right again. It's funny, compelling,
to the point, and what any horse would have you read."
—Al Fischer, rescue horse lover/volunteer.
"Joe Camp's new book, The Soul of a Horse, should be required
reading for anyone who wants horses, has horses or just plain loves
horses! From start to finish this book takes you on Joe and his
wife Kathleen's own journey from beginning horse owners to a fully
realized partnership with their horses as part of the herd. Joe's
common sense approach to natural horsemanship shows how much he
cares about the well being of horses. In fact, he became Horse in
order to understand them and help them to not just survive in our
world but to thrive. Joe walks his talk which sets a true example
of commitment, respect and most importantly love for any animal
that lives with us in our human world."
