He always came. Any time. Every time.
He was the original Soul of a Horse and will always be. Cash is where it all started, both our journey with horses, and that first book. It was his book, I the mere interpreter. The one who passed along what he taught me. And, as the book became a national best seller, he became The Soul of a Horse to so many.

Never once did I fill my pocket with treats that it wasn’t with him in mind, never wanting to be caught without something that he liked when he walked up and offered me something that I liked.
He was the first one down for every feed, usually waiting for me at the back of the barn breezeway.
I could call him from anywhere and wherever he was he’d come.
He would walk with me from anywhere to anywhere at liberty.
In the evenings he would use the stubble on my chin to scratch his upper lip. I do love that. Read More→
“I just read a book I would not normally have picked up. It was at the library and I read the flap and thought yeah, yeah, another romanticizing horsemanship story. Anyway he mentions a trainer I have a problem with so I put it back on the shelf. But something kept making me look at it again. So last night in an effort to try to stay up for New Year’s Eve I thought I’d go ahead and try to read it.
It was The Soul of a Horse by Joe Camp. If you have read it you will know why it affected me so much.
I wanted to post this at 2:00AM, (when I had finished the entire book by the way – I read it straight through), I thought you all would think I had gone nuts. Yeah, it was one of “those books” for me.
I laughed, I cried, I felt Joe’s embarrassment, his frustration, his victories no matter how small, his overwhelming accomplishment. I felt the horses mind working, and watched the evolution of their species through their eyes.
I felt his wife’s fear, both real and imagined and watched her journey overcoming it by learning from the horse. I saw her watch her husband’s obsession as my husband watches mine and can only shake his head.
This book validated so many things I know but could not bring to the surface. I just needed to remember.
OK, I’ll stop but I hope everyone gets a chance to read this book. It’s one of those books you buy and reread again and again because it is like an old friend on the shelf just waiting for you.” Traci – NH Forum Post
Thanks so much Traci. You don’t know how much your words mean to us.
