"One cannot help but be touched by Camp's love and sympathy for animals and by his eloquence on the subject." |
"Joe Camp is a natural when it comes to understanding how animals tick and a genius at telling us their story. This book is a must-read for those who love animals of any species." |
|---|---|
"A fantastic book." |
"A masterpiece." |
| "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." Debra McGuire The Las Vegas Review Journal |
"A beautiful book." David Davis KUSI-TV San Diego |
| "This book is absolutely fabulous! An amazing, amazing book. You're going to love it." Janet Parshall Janet Parshall's America Salem Radio Network |
"To say too much about Camp's compelling book would be to spoil much of the beauty and simplicity of the story. The tightly-written, simply-designed and powerfully drawn chapters often read like short stories that flow from the heart, not just from the corral." Jack L. Kennedy |
| "It takes courage and a fair bit of self-confidence to contradict conventional wisdom on the care and nature of horses the way Joe Camp does in his book. But then, this isn't the first time Camp has been proven right when it comes to animals. Through experiences both humorous and dramatic, Camp manages to create the closest attempt at a first-person perspective on the thought processes of a horse since Mr. Ed." David Hofstede Cowboys and Indians |
"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 |
"Joe Camp writes about horses with empathy, curiosity, and a deep regard for equine instincts and behavior. It's a book that encourages the reader, gently, to step into the herd and learn." Debbie Moors |
"I wish you could hear my excitement for Joe Camp's new book, The Soul of a Horse. It is unique, powerful, needed." |
| "Heartwarming, joyful and triumphant. A literary gem. Not just for horse lovers but for anyone who has loved any living creature." Cate Crismani True Cowboy Magazine |
"I read The Soul of a Horse and I see the soul of a man. I am absolutely captivated." |
"Joe Camp takes you on an awe-inspiring adventure in his latest book. Emotionally engaging and truly heartwarming, and perfect for the entire family." Aubrey Rykovich - Bit And Bridle |
"I am amazed and in awe...and I'm a tough, cynical woman. The ideas in this book are phenomenal." Holly Hazard |
"Joe shows that animals can change your perspective and perhaps even your life. 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 |
"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." |
"I found The Soul Of A Horse an absolutely wonderful book that is not only easy to read, it is also very hard to put down. I highly recommend this book." T. Michael Testi |
"Joe speaks a clear and simple truth that grabs hold of your heart." Yvonne Welz |
"Lately I have read a number of books that seek to explain and satisfy the human yen to connect physically, emotionally and even spiritually with the horse. And yet The Soul of a Horse is the only one I've come across that speaks with a totally resounding note of truth. Coincidentally (or not?) it's also the only one I've read that is written with the unflinching insight that a deep and satisfying connection with another individual - human or otherwise - requires us to set aside our own aspirations, expectations and needs in order to clearly understand those of the other. A delightful blend of autobiography, critical analysis and storytelling, this book engages the reader intellectually and emotionally from start to finish." Ysabelle Dean |
"One does not have to love horses to appreciate Joe Camp'"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." "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. A must-read." |
"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, if you wish, and it still tells stories of life lessons and teaches that the quality of life is often in the choices we make." Susan Sherlock |
“Joe Camp has to write another book – and soon! Joe is a wonderful story-teller. The book is lively, stimulating, delightful, educational, amusing, entertaining, charming, a pleasure to read and totally lovable. Joe Camp I am in your debt. Thank you!” Robert Cook FRCVS PhD |
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. It's like a treasure map leading to untold riches 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. Joe Camp has discovered the true heart and soul of a horse. Candace Runaas |
"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! The book was sooo good I was sad when it ended." Dr. Kim Bloomer |
"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 this advance copy. This is a must-read book for everyone." Debbie Soderberg Kirchner |
"A must read. I was transfixed. I couldn't stop reading. I stayed up way too late, but I finished every word of it. It made me feel like a kid again, when I hid under the covers past my bedtime to read horse books--all the Walter Farley Black Stallion books. This is a great book, written with compassion, and allowing the reader to live Joe's experiences. I am in awe of how Joe Camp has managed to compile the Natural Horse wisdom into such a nurturing and personal format. I'm sure that every reader will project him/herself into the situations that Joe describes with his horses. Thanks to Joe Camp for enriching my life!" Laurra Maddock |
I was so excited to read this awesome book that I could not stop until I was finished. Joe is a great story teller. He has managed to pull together all of the aspects that make up this new paradigm and has done so in a manner that is somehow both gentle and forgiving to the reader as well as absolutely unquestionable. There will be so many horses (and people) that will benefit tremendously from this book! Terry Jenkins |
"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." |
"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." |
