 Every Horse Owner Should Read this Book August 6, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Every horse owner should read this book. Granted, the author may be a little zealous in his approach but the book contains a lot of very valuable and thought provoking information for the horse owner. Like the author I became very interested in horses later in life and read everything I can get my hands on from veterinary manuals to you name it. I personally watched natural horseman Clinton Anderson (mentioned in the book) correct problem behavior in a wide variety of horses and in a very short time. As far as I know, Clinton has been the only two time winner of the Road to the Horse Competition. Within the three hour time limit a totally unbroken horse he was given was not only safe to ride and could perform several designated tasks but was also bullet proof when it came to spooking. Some time ago Clinton, like the author Joe Camp, concluded that natural hoof care was the way to go, no horseshoes. The main problem is convincing many long time equestrians that there may be a better way to train and interact with your horse. I know too well how hard it is to break through the "we've always done it that way" wall. Perhaps this book will help. Mr. Camp has included a very good resources section at the end of the book for those who wish to learn more and improve their relationship with horses.
A must read!! August 5, 2008

This is truly a must read. Be prepared, once you begin you won't want to put it down!! Joe takes you on his journey into horsemanshp and its a journey you'll enjoy! He weaves a fictional story alongside his real life story. Even non-horse people will love the book. He learns why natural horsemanship is a better deal...both for you and your horse. His experiences are real and well described. He admits to being a new horseman but you'll find you will learn a few tricks from him. I absolutely love it that everything he does is with the horse's well being in mind. You won't find him glued to one particular trainer..but he does mention of few of them . Just a great read and one you'll want to keep on your bookshelf. I've read it twice and ordered several copies for gifts.

Being one of the many women who rode as a kid and is finally coming back to it as an adult, this was just what I needed to help weed out all the conflicting traditional information. Like naturopathic medicine for people, Joe Camp's words just seem like simple, common sense. Thanks for teaching us to think like horses, not like people.

A book for those with an open mind and hopefully also a book to help those in the horse industry that don't have an open mind to begin 'thinking' a little more outside the square.

Joe Camp is an amazing writer and rhis book is a lovely read for anyone who has a love for animals of any kind. In his typical magical way, Joe has brought the reader right into place such that you can almost feel the warm breath, the touch of the whiskers and the soft muzzle of Cash on your own shoulder.
For those getting any pet for the first time, you probably acquired the "expert books" and talked to your vet about the proper care for your new pet. But how many people have found that deeper communication, that mutual trust and the very special relathipships that animals and humans really can share. In sharing his experiences, Joe really brings this to life for the reader. This is a must-have book for those with a passion for horses, and those animal loves in general.
