The Soul of a Horse by Joe Camp

The Soul of a Horse by Joe Camp

A heartwarming story of a couple and their horse exploring what caring for a horse can teach us about companionship-whether it's with a four-legged friend or a fellow human.

A surprise birthday gift plunged Joe and his wife, Kathleen, into the world of horses as complete neophytes without a clue as to what a horse needed or wanted. They searched for logic and sense in the rule books of traditional horse care. What they found was not what they had expected.

Written for everyone who has ever loved a horse or ever loved the idea of loving a horse, this memoir leads us on a voyage of discovery as Joe and Kathleen navigate uncharted territory on their way to achieving a true relationship with their horses. Joe Camp's inspiring book unlocks the mystery of a majestic creature who has survived on earth, without assistance, for fifty-five million years and teaches us that the lessons he learned apply not only to horses but also to our relationships with people.

When he created the canine superstar Benji, Joe Camp demonstrated the heart and soul of a dog. And in his fascinating, emotive, and often funny bestseller The Soul of a Horse: Life Lessons from the Herd, now in its 15th printing, he drew us into the soul of a horse, a book that turned traditional horse thinking on its head while improving the lives of horses and people all over the world. With his latest book Dog Tales, Camp masterfully entices us back into the heart and spirit of dogs. Camp is one of the most successful independent filmmakers of all time, having written, produced, and directed seven theatrical motion pictures (including all of the Benji films) with a total gross of well over $600 million in today's money. Joe has authored three novels based on his own scripts, six children's books, and a Benji training book, in addition to his nine books about horses and his recent God Only Knows.

He's also a dynamic public speaker. Joe believes that if you work hard enough and have faith in yourself and God, anything is possible. Despite all of his successes and media attention, he remains awestruck by his own success. Internally, I'm still a kid sitting in a dark cinema in Little Rock, Arkansas, seeing Disney's Song of the South or reading stories like The Black Stallion, he adds.

It takes a certain sort of happiness to be able to convey that kind of joy to others.
