Come along with best selling author Joe Camp and his wife Kathleen on their journey of discovery as these two rank neophytes slowly but surely figured out how to turn their horses lives completely around and turn their steep one-and-a-half acre hillside of rock and dirt into a happy and healthy lifestyle for their entire herd. When Joe and Kathleen acquired their first three horses, soon to be six, they were all living in stalls, wearing metal shoes, and eating sugary feed from a bag. Because so many of the questions they were asking were turning up answers that made no sense they finally began to dig into serious research on their own to determine how their new horses should be living and eating. To dig out the actual facts, not the legends. Not the hearsay. Not the standard "That's the way it's always been done." And what Joe and Kathleen discovered was nothing short of amazing. Virtually everything they had been told to do was diametrically opposed to the way horses - all horses - should actually be living. Read stories you'll love and the information you need. What Readers and Critics Are Saying About Joe Camp "Joe Camp is a master storyteller." The New York Times "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, Author and TV/Radio host "The Horse Show" "This book is fantastic It has given me shivers, made me laugh and cry, and I just can't seem to put it down " Cheryl Pannier, WHO Radio AM 1040 Des Moines "One cannot help but be touched by Camp's love and sympathy for animals and by his eloquence on the subject."

His books are must-reads for those who love animals of any species."

And his love for not just horses, but all of God's critters pours out from every page."

Richard Shrake wrote, "If you love horses, read this book. " Why? Because Getting It Right: A Close Look at Equine Flooring" provides an unbiased analysis of what can be expected from fourteen different types of stall footing. Over thirty years, these different types and more than fifty different brands were tested and compared. However, the purpose was not to declare the "best" or the "worst" products, but rather to provide a detailed analysis of what each would, and would not do. With this information the reader can evaluate his or her priorities and make an educated choice on footing for stalls. Other sections provide information on: Bedding: what can be expected as it interacts with various types of footing. Flooring for aisle ways, wash bays, tack and feed rooms. A special chapter on foaling stalls. Outdoor footing, sections on corrals, turnouts and round pens. Arena Construction, indoors and out. An amazing new approach. Beyond the barn. Feeding stations, gateways, water troughs and on the trail. Twelve Guidelines: Selecting the right stall flooring the first time. Containing charts and 46 full color photographs, the information this book offers will benefit owners of a single horse to a large stable.

William A. Berg discusses the origin of the horses (particularly the Appaloosas and Pintos) of the northern plains tribes, with particular emphasis on the careful breeding and horse raising of the Nez Perc. This is an enlightening theory that intertwines the stories of several significant historical figures, from Captain Bonneville to Lewis and Clark.

It all started rather nonchalantly as one person after another entertained a group of us at a horse show with hysterical tales of days gone by. We held our sides, wiped tears from our eyes and thoroughly enjoyed laughing at those antics, some innocent and some mischievously planned. We forgot about the electricity bill that needed paying, the installment notes coming due and the rising cost of living. Instead, we laughed. There is a great value in a laugh. Only a person that finds laughter in everyday life, especially at himself, is happy. If it is allowed to do so, laughter acts like a shock absorber to the realities of the day, making us all a little bit more humble and quite a bit more enjoyable to live with Neither is laughter a one-size-fits-all commodity, but rather a value that comes in all sizes. There is the quiet smile, the short chuckle, the longer giggle, the friendly laugh and the knee-slapping belly roar. In fact, laughter is said to be better than any prescription drug for what ails you and the best medicine of all is the ability to laugh at one's self. It is good to laugh. Hopefully, you will find a little of each size laughter in Cuttin' Capers.

This long needed handbook describes and illustrates with dozens of photos how equine patients should be handled when undergoing treatment. The schools, loaded with today's exploding technology, simply don't have time to provide the practical instruction necessary to the relatively few graduates who will be in equine practice. Far too many patients and personnel are injured every year, some seriously, and too much costly equipment is damaged by frightened and resistant equine patients. Such problems can be greatly minimized by an appropriate approach and skillful handling. Long time experienced practitioner and internationally recognized equine behaviorist Robert M. Miller, DVM was asked to produce this handbook which, although specifically aimed at students, will be of value to anyone who has to doctor horses.
