A surprise birthday gift plunged Joe Camp and his wife, Kathleen, into the world of horses as complete neophytes without a clue as to what horses needed or wanted. The Camps went searching for logic and sense in the rule books of traditional horse care and what they found was not what they had expected. Written for everyone who has ever loved a horse or even loved the idea of having a horse in their lives, this memoir leads us on a riveting voyage of discovery as Joe and Kathleen navigate uncharted, often politically incorrect territory on their way to achieving a true relationship with their horses.
As the creator of the beloved Benji series, Joe has spent most of his life luring us into the heart and soul of a famous dog, but now in this engaging, emotional, and often humorous story, he deftly lures us into the heart and soul of a horse. In doing so, he exposes astonishing truths and unlocks the mystery of a majestic creature who has survived on Earth, without assistance, for fifty-five million years. In a single emotionally charged moment, Camp communes with his first horse, Cash, in a way that changes him and his relationship with horses forever. In his own words, as he stood alone with his back to this horse: The collar of my jacket was tickling the hairs on the back of my neck. And my heart was pounding. Then a puff of warm, moist air brushed my ear. My heart skipped a beat. He was really close. Then I felt his nose on my shoulder . . . I couldn’t believe it. Tears came out of nowhere and streamed down my cheeks. I had spoken to him in his own language, and he had listened . . . and he had chosen to be with me. He had said, I trust you.
Ingeniously alternating between the stories of two people thrust into an unfamiliar, enigmatic realm and a fabled herd of wild horses brought to the New World centuries ago, Joe Camp’s valuable and inspiring book teaches us that the lessons he was learning apply not only to his horses but to life and to people as well–to all of us.

Way to go Joe -
Through his work with Benji, it is clear that Joe Camp understands and gets along well with dogs. Working effectively with horses requires a whole different type of intuition and language. After all, dogs are predators and horses are a prey species. In his outstanding book, The Soul of a Horse, Joe Camp has demonstrated that he is adept at understanding and working with both ends of the spectrum. It is inevitably refreshing when someone approaches a subject with a "fresh set of eyes" and questions traditional paradigms. Joe has done exactly that and effectively describes his thought processes in an enjoyable narrative. Thanks, Joe for nudging the horse loving public to think about and reconsider things that have been taken for granted for so long.

A Monty Roberts regurgitation - 
A friend passed this book on to me saying "read it and let me know what you think" Well I think Joe Camp is extremely pompous to think he could write a book with his extremely limited experience with horses. Just because he wrote Benji doesn't mean he should write a book on horse ownership. A whole chapter on the "tie blocker"? Give me a break! I bought a tie blocker at least 4 years ago. I do use it occasionally on certain horses but only until they are trained to give to pressure. His real problem is his horses don't know how to give to pressure. He has put a band aid on a very dangerous problem. Sure I agree horses are much better off being in pastures able to move around but his "natural pasture" of 1 1/2 acres with 50 piles of hay spread around? Are you serious? That's like running from your kitchen to your bedroom and saying you worked out. Many people only have the option of stalls and to make them feel bad or inadequate is just wrong. I know a lot of situations where horses are turned out into some dinky pasture and never given any attention or care. I bet if you "asked" them they would love to change places with some of those poor stalled horses. Going shoeless when it can be accomplished is great but it doesn't always work for a variety of reasons. My horses usually never wear blankets but recently when I took one of my horses up to the mountains where there was a big temperature change from what he was use to, I used a blanket at night. Why because I cared about my horse and he needed it. I typically ride 3 to 4 hours a day, in the summer, moving cattle in the mountains of Montana. Riding 20 minutes around your barn is a long way from really riding. I have been around horses for 45 of my 50 years have a degree in Equestrian Studies and I would never try to educate someone the way Joe Camp does. If someone asks me a question or my opinion fine but I would never approach someone and shove it down their throat. I take clinics every chance I get because there is so much more I can learn. Maybe he should start giving clinics because obliviously most horse owners need his advice. Oh but let's not do any loping until we can keep our adrenaline in check. This book is either for non-horse people, rank beginners or people that have had their heads in the grain bucket the entire time they have owned a horse.
Soul of the Horse -
Fantastic book--highly recommend to everybody who owns or admires horses. Gives insight to how horses think differently then we humans--reminds us that they are unique and so different from other animals-

This book rocked my world! -
In response to those reviewers who wrote that this book is only helpful for newcomers to horse ownership: GUESS WHAT!?! I have been around horses for my entire life (31 years). I rode before I could walk (well,my dad helped me!). And, GUESS WHAT!?! I love this book and it has given me so much to ponder, and has altered the way that I look at my relationship with my horses and the way that I want to care for them. I already had a good bond with my horses, I've never treated them inhumanely, but this book still provided new information that has been and will continue to be useful to me. Not only that, but it is a well-written, entertaining narrative. Joe Camp writes about the increased understanding of our own humanity that comes through relationships with other creatures. Joe tells his story and offers his advice in a humble, warm and exuberant way. It was fun to have some Benji stories in there too!
