Praise for Joe Camp's writing: "Joe Camp is a master storyteller." The New York Times "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 natural when it comes to understanding how animals tick and a genius at telling us their story. His books are must-reads for those who love animals of any species." - Monty Roberts - Author of New York Timers Best-seller The Man Who Listens to Horses "To say too much about Camp's compelling book would be to spoil much of the beauty and simplicity of the story. The tightly-written, simply-designed and powerfully drawn chapters often read like short stories that flow from the heart." Jack L. Kennedy - The Joplin Independent "Joe Camp is a gifted storyteller and the results are magical. Joe entertains, educates and empowers, baring his own soul while articulating keystone principles of a modern revolution in horsemanship." - Rick Lamb - TV/Radio host - The Horse Show "I wish you could hear my excitement for Joe Camp's new book, The Soul of a Horse.

One bitterly cold winter afternoon, a nine-month-old colt-extremely weak, starving, left to die-was frozen to the rock-hard white landscape of a northern Wisconsin pasture. His whinny for help barely carried through thirty-mile-an-hour winds lashing snow and ice against his thin coat. But somewhere inside him a light refused to go out. The colt's call for help was answered, and that light inspired a worldwide response to his story. The struggle of the little colt, called Windchill by his rescuers, was reported widely, and soon 1.2 million people were following Windchill's progress on a blog and webcam. Warmed by Windchill tells how Jeffrey L. Tucker, owner of nearby Raindance Farms, and Kathi Davis, owner of a horse training operation co-located at Raindance, rescued and cared for the colt, aided by an outpouring of assistance. Donations of money, feed, blankets, and other supplies streamed in as round-the-clock volunteers tried to save Windchill. Warmed by Windchill is both heartening and heartbreaking.

Joint Health - A Nutritional Perspective (Paperback): Juliet M Getty Ph D Joint Health - A Nutritional Perspective (Paperback)
Juliet M Getty Ph D
R385 Discovery Miles 3 850 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Joints, like all tissues in the body, rely on nutrients for maintenance and repair. The horse's body prioritizes its use of nutrients, first supporting vital organs-heart, lungs, liver, kidneys and brain-then giving what nutrients are left over to the rest of the anatomy. It is vitally important that the horse's diet include sufficient nutrients to make it all the way to the organs at the end of the body's hierarchy, the joints. Supplementing for joint health without first establishing a nutritional foundation is a waste of effort and money. In Joint Health-A Nutritional Perspective, Dr. Juliet M. Getty explains joint structure and the dietary requirements to maintain or repair joints, then discusses various ingredients found in common joint supplements and their appropriate applications. The book is expanded from her teleseminar on the subject with additional valuable information about the nutritional basis for joint health.
