The Soul of a Horse by Joe Camp

The Soul of a Horse:
Life Lessons from the Herd
by Joe Camp

Quite different from other books that we carry,
this book describes the experiences and
revelations of a first-time horse owner. The
Soul of a Horse chronicles Joe's journey from
conventional horsemanship to embracing natural
horse and hoof care. How he travels from shoes
and stalls to 24/7 turnout and barefoot is an
entertaining and insightful read. At the heart of
Joe's journey is his desire to watch and learn
from his horses. Everything he does must then
resonate with his growing understanding about
what is truly best and most humane for them.

While most of our books concentrate on
research, factual information and "how-to"
instructions, Joe's book is deeply personal. He is
not an "expert" on horses, since he is admittedly
a first-time horse owner. But his struggles to
educate himself, to question conventional
wisdom, and to open his mind to new ways of
thinking in the midst of centuries of entrenched
ideas will strike a similar chord with many horse
owners.

If you are already committed to natural horse
and hoof care, you will find this a wonderfully
supportive book. You may also find that sharing
a copy of this book is an effective way to
"spread the word" to friends and acquaintances
who need help understanding the value of
natural horse care. It would make a great gift!

Review by Pete Ramey
"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. Joe Camp's book will pave the road to a
better world for horses. At the same time I do believe this hard look in the mirror will make the world
a little better for people, too."

Review by Horse and Rider 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."
