“Joe Camp has entered his twelfth printing of The Soul of a Horse–Life Lessons from the Herd, a mixture of autobiography, prayer, insight and horse and dog raising skills. Now from 14 Hands Press, Camp has produced The Soul of a Horse BLOGGED–The Journey Continues with a feel, a heart, a sense of perception that compels the reader to see the relationship between man and animal, between the physical and emotional forces that compete with each other to make life rewarding and motivating.

Camp has become something of a master at telling us what can be learned from animals, in this case specifically horses, without making us realize we have been educated, and, that is, perhaps, the mark of a real teacher.

So if you simply love the outdoors and horses (or you just cannot believe a Hollywood guy can successfully transition to a rural life down South), then read “BLOGGED” on that level. You will find the screen storyteller’s sense for dialog and scene setting intact, the emotion evident, even if the style is less fluid and the plot more overt than “Soul.”

There is another side to Joe and his wife, beyond the raising of horses. The book deals with life, death, love, caring and questioning. He has underlined again in a rather quiet way how much we can learn from the patience, perception and peace raising good horses requires. If you want to continue to believe that Benji the movie was all about a cute little dog, go ahead… or that Camp’s tales are simply about how to raise horses. But remember about why he writes ‘horse books.’ Then, perhaps, you will understand not just what the soul of a horse is but the soul of a man named Camp.”

The story of our journey with horses (to date) is told in the two books that follow: the national best seller The Soul of a Horse – Life Lessons from the Herd  and its sequel Born Wild – The Soul of a Horse.

And what a story it is as two novices without a clue stumble and bumble their way through the learning process so that hopefully you won’t have to. If you haven’t read both of these books already please do because with that reading, I believe, will come not just the knowledge of discovery but the passion and the excitement to cause you to commit to your journey with horses, to do for the horse without waiver so that your relationship and experience will be with loving, happy and healthy horses who are willing partners and who never stop trying for you. Horses like ours.

LOOK INTO THE HEART AND SOUL OF A HORSE

Joe Camp’s best seller The Soul of a Horse-Life Lessons from the Herd, now in its 14th printing, has been turning the horse world on its ear and changing the lives of horses and people all across the planet since its publication. Critical and reader acclaim for The Soul of a Horse from over 200,000 readers has generated a profound impact on the way horses are being trained, kept, and cared for all across the planet, and it is with that same passionate spirit that Joe has written The Soul of a Horse BLOGGED – The Journey Continues.

This engaging, emotional, and often humorous book follows the lead of its predecessor once again engagingly navigating uncharted and often controversial territory while forging a change in traditional thinking about horses that will last forever.

Live the moments with Joe and Kathleen as they adopt a wild pregnant mustang and move their herd from the dry rocky hillsides of southern California to the wet grassy hillsides of their new middle Tennessee home. This book is full of inspiring new stories and compelling new discoveries as the horses continue to teach their life lessons from the herd.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

“The Soul of a Horse Blogged captured me from page one! I am so loving it!! Joe Camp is a master storyteller. I loved The Soul of a Horse, but this book I quite simply adore! What I am so fascinated by is Joe’s amazingly short journey to the truth about the horse. He understands the nature and needs of this magnificent animal, and he definitely understands all the politics that are part and parcel these days in the animal world. I would love to see all animal owners dig in with this type of commitment to learning about the needs of their animals and then applying it so their animals can thrive, rather than just taking all the unsolicited surface advice the ‘experts’ freely give as the gospel truth. I think this book is more about the soul of a man who is not only committed to the horses he loves, but to sharing what he has learned and continues to learn for the benefit of all horses with elegance, style, truth and transparency! Kathleen’s photography brings this whole equine-man journey to life as it woos you through the pages of The Soul of a Horse, Blogged. Read it, you will not regret it!” – Dr. Kim Bloomer, host of Animal Talk Naturally Radio Show

“I got my book yesterday – I hold Joe Camp responsible for my bloodshot eyes. I couldn’t put it down and morning came early!!! Joe transports me into his words. I feel like I am right there sharing his experiences. And his love for not just horses, but all of God’s critters pours out from every page. Joe writes from your heart and I guess that is what captivates me and makes it so hard for me to put down one of his books.” – Ruth Swander

“Joe’s new book made me cry and laugh and just feel good about the perspectives and insights on life that he brings to his writings. Very moving in all ways good. Thank you Joe for sharing your life!” – Robin MacBlane – WOCA Radio Ocala

“The Soul of a Horse Blogged is fantastic. It has given me shivers, made me cry, all sorts of emotions. And I
just can’t seem to put it down!” – Cheryl Pannier, WHO Radio AM 1040 Des Moines

“I really, really like Joe’s writing. It’s as if he is discovering these things right along with the reader, and making sense of it all in a very simple and logical way.” – Chris Lombard, Clinician

“I just can’t stop reading The Soul of a Horse Blogged! It’s just wonderful!!!!!” – Yvonne Welz; Editor, The Horses Hoof

“The Soul of a Horse Blogged: The Journey Continues is another incredible book by Joe Camp! His story-telling talents bring us right into the journey he has experienced and keeps experiencing with his horses. The book is a catalyst for changing and doing away with all the myths that have dominated the man-made horse world for too long. I can’t wait until his next book, Lessons from the Wild, comes out.” – Rafael Valle – Owner/Trainer of the Renowned TWH Stallion Ivory Pal

“The Soul of a Horse Blogged – The Journey Continues is insightful, enlightening, emotionally charged, and hilarious, with wonderfully candid photography and a story woven masterfully by a consummate storyteller. Outstanding, poignant, wonderful reading.” – Harry H. MacDonald

“I love ‘The Soul of a Horse Blogged’. It is so hard to put the book down, but I also don’t want to read it too fast. I don’t want it to end! I am so comforted by Joe’s experiences and knowledge. Every person who loves an animal must have this book. I can’t wait for the next one !!!!!!!!!” – Nina Black Reid

“Mr. Camp’s 2nd book, The Soul of a Horse Blogged is even better than his first. You will laugh, cry and feel more love than ever before for your horses.” – Cheryl Lambert
