The New York Times calls Joe Camp "a master storyteller." When he
gets passionate about something it always winds up being woven
into an engaging story so you will devour every essence and read
it over and over again. He believes that horses love the
rtunity to grow with you, and have fun with you... to learn
new things and be rewarded in a positive way that they truly
enjoy. Joe's words: I believe if you say to your horse: "Do
something I like and I'll do something you like" you will find
that he will become the most willing of partners. I also believe
that thorses love being able to speak to you, to initiate
conversation. Like Cash does when he walks up and offers his big
toothy smile, saying, Might I have a treat please? Many trainers
dislike the use of treats for training. Some even say we
shouldn't talk to our horses. Training should all be based upon
body language, just as the horses use with each other in the
herd. We believe that the horse’s language is important because
once the horse understands that you know his language, once you
have given him the choice of trusting you, of being in
relationship with you, and once you have proven your leadership
to the horse then he has a clear capability to grow and
understand our language. To learn things he might not have ever
had the chance to learn if he had remained in a herd somewhere.
Sort of like you grew when you went off to school. Teaching your
horse that you understand his herd language is a must in the
beginning. But we now know that communication increases
exponentially, both in comprehension and speed of learning, when
treats are strategically used. I suppose it comes from so many
years working with Benji before horses, and finally drawing the
conclusion that whatever a dog can learn, a horse can learn as
well because, with treats, they both want to learn.. And the
horse will be just as happy about showing off as Benji is.
Believe it or not, now all backed up by a new scientific study.
Come with us as we step outside the box and discover how to give
our horses a new and exciting way to learn, and communicate with
us… and have fun! Whoa! Hold on there. Have we stumbled onto
something that actually teaches the horse and the horse enjoys
it, thinks it’s fun? Yes, we did. And with this book we share it
all with you. With free Kindle apps, download this book to your

love and the information you need will always be with you. What
Readers and Critics Are Saying About Joe Camp: “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” “One cannot help
but be touched by Camp’s love and sympathy for animals and by his
eloquence on the subject.” Michae 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 Times Best-seller The Man Who Listens to Horses “The
tightly written, simply designed, and powerfully drawn chapters
often read like short stories that flow from the heart. 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.” Jack L. Kennedy, The Joplin Independent "Joe
speaks a clear and simple truth that grabs hold of your heart."
Yvonne Welz, Editor, The Horses Hoof Magazine "I simply love the
way Joe Camp writes. He stirs my soul. This is a must read book
for everyone." Debbie K - Reader
