We Enter the Blogoshpere
By adminIn an effort to keep up with the 21st Century, Kathleen and I have leaped headlong into the world of blogging with this, The Soul of a Horse Blog. The object is to make the blog everything that our newsletter has been – and more – by reducing the time that it takes to both create the newsletter and then manually put the same information onto the website in two different places; thus giving me more time to be with the horses and write about the experiences. I hope.
The blog will also allow you to send your comments to us and to interact with other viewers when you choose to. By subscribing to the blog on the blog site you will receive new entries (when there are any) at the end of every day via email. You can either click on a headline and go directly to the blog, or scroll down and read the new entry right in your email. If you use an RSS reader like Google Reader (yesterday I didn’t even know what that meant :) you don’t even have to subscribe… and if you choose to do neither and just show up every once in a while at times of your choosing, then we’re happy to have you here.
The newsletter archives on the website will no longer be kept up to date because the blog will, in effect, be the archive. And somewhere down the line, if this all works and everyone likes the blog, then we’ll probably do away with the newsletter, but that won’t be for a while, until we’ve heard feedback from all of y’all.

We hope you’ll give it a look, sign up, and stay with us in this journey into building the kind of trust in ourselves to truly believe that we can let our horses do the teaching. That we can reduce our dependency on others telling us how to do things. And make all our classrooms be classrooms of real life.
Once again I’d like tothank y’all so very much for all the support over the past several weeks.

Dear Joe and Kathleen,
I now know and understand and sympathize your loss. My beautiful chestnut mare, Beauty, died in a freak accident June 25, last Thursday. I found her dead in her corral that morning. We believe she got cast, thrashed her head, hit her head on the metal pipe, and was gone. She, too, was a wonderful horse~patient, calm, gentle. She was only 5 years old. I loved her dearly and she picked me as her human. My thoroughbred, Gigondas, Beauty’s partner at the feedlot, has been letting me touch her all over (she usually jumped away) and following me around, too. One day I was mucking HER corral and felt a warm breath behind me and then a big sigh. NOT typical Gigondas, believe me! Joe, come see my horse blog, if you wish. I have done a tribute to Beauty.

Dear Joe,
Your book, your work with animals and each one of your horses is incredible. I would love to honor Maleki and you by doing something to help the Mustangs. Do you have any suggestions. I have a request for you. Would you please consider doing a workshop for us wanta be Joe Camp admirerers?
I would love to have didactic and hands on workshop experience with Natural Boarding, Barefoot horses, etc. Please think about it.
With kindest regards and admiration, Eileen
I would LOVE to come to a workshop!
I just read about a study that confirms when a horse and their human are together, the horse’s heart rate beats at the pace of their human’s heart rate.If this delicate organ can detect our heart rate, no doubt a greiving heart is felt as well. I believe Noelle not only feels her own grief, but receives Joe and Kathleen’s heart felt grief as well. It might explain the strides that are occuring with Noel’s bonding to her human.
