Reviews"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."
