Book#7 of the "Farrier-Friendly" article series.

What if you discovered that you could eliminate most if not all of your horses' health, hoof, and behavior problems by doing one thing. Seriously. One single thing. Joe & Kathleen Camp have eight horses. Three mustangs straight out of the wild, a rescued American Saddlebred, two Arabians, a paint and a quarter horse. And at their farm there is no colic, no laminitis, no strangles, no insulin resistance, no ulcers, no founder, no navicular issues, no cribbing, pawing, kicking, weaving, pacing, or biting. How did they accomplish all this? By eliminating stress. They banished it. Sent it packing. And you can too. Joe never intended to write a book, never mind several. He and Kathleen were just trying to figure out how to keep and care for a small group of horses that had somehow landed quite unexpectedly in their front yard. They were two complete neophytes who, a few short months before, didn't have a horse or a clue. So they were asking a lot of questions, and getting a lot of answers that didn't seem to make any sense. After stumbling through mistake after mistake, digging through an enormous amount of research, and spending a great deal of time with their little herd they discovered that either they were stark raving nuts or there was something very wrong in this world of horses. That's where The Soul of a Horse began. Thankfully for us it turned out that they weren't nuts. At least not in the clinical sense. And it was too late for them to turn back. "Joe Camp is a natural when it comes to understanding how animals tick and a genius at telling us their story." - Monty Roberts, Author of NYT Best Seller The Man Who Listens to Horses "One cannot help but be touched by Camp's love and sympathy for animals and by his eloquence on the subject." Michael Korda - The Washington Post "Joe Camp is a gifted storyteller and the results are magical." Rick Lamb, Author and TV/Radio Host of The Horse Show "Joe Camp is a master storyteller." The New York Times

"When I was a young horse, I thought if I wasn't always good, I could at least be useful. Then I broke my leg." When Snoopy was three years old, he won the 2007 Pacific Coast Quarter Horse Association Trail Futurity. His trainer and his owner had his career mapped out-he would be campaigned around the circuit and qualify to be invited to the AQHA World Show. Then in 2008, Snoopy broke his left hind sesamoid, a small bone in the leg. This injury can mean anything from surgery to euthanasia. Surgery didn't guarantee he could be ridden again, much less shown. In the tradition of Black Beauty, this is Snoopy's own story, told from his special point of view. He tells of his youth, his training, his injury, and his long fight to return to the show arena, to prove he's the same horse he always was, only different.

To meet the case in which the horseman may chance to be leading his horse with the left hand and carrying his spear in the right, it would be good, we think, for every one to practise vaulting on to his seat from the right side also. In fact, he has nothing else to learn except to do with his right limbs what he has previously done with the left, and vice versa. And the reason we approve of this method of mounting is 8] that it enables the soldier at one and the same instant to get astride of his horse and to find himself prepared at all points, supposing he should have to enter the lists of battle on a sudden.

Originally published in 1939 - This is a complete history of the horse - the first book to trace the horse through its forty five million years of development.

It is a story with such sweep and vigor, such dash and action, adventure and beauty that it can be compared only to the most stirring novel.

This stirring book fully justifies America's magnificent wild horses and burros while countering the biased machinations against them. Written by an ecologist who grew up observing these animals in the West, it presents new evidence concerning their history and evolution in North America then describes their many positive contributions to soils, plants, animals and people. Though true restorers of this continent's ecosystem, they have been unfairly targeted for elimination. Over the centuries, they have borne our burdens and helped us along life's way--which makes it doubly unfair that they should be blamed for what we humans have done. As always, they stand ready to help us do the hard work now so desperately needed to restore our shared home. Many of the author's personal experiences with these animals, their diverse herd areas, and the multicolored people involved with them are herein vividly shared. Urgently required now at the 40th anniversary of the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act is a strategy to reverse the negative schemes that are causing their demise in the wild. As described, Reserve Design provides a way for establishing self-stabilizing populations through intelligent and caring programs executed with enthusiasm. Their lesson for humanity concerns how to share freedom and the land with such paragons of nature. Soaring beyond mundane pettiness and with an inspired vision for the future of all life, the elevated perspective and compassionate spirit of this book will prove key to accomplishing its critical goal. In the wild the vigor of any kind is preserved. And the entire horse family--as the Earth itself--needs America's wild horses and burros to continue at vital levels into the future here in their evolutionary cradle and worldwide.
