David Davis interviews Joe Camp and cover-boy Cash. This was Cash's first trip ever to a television studio and to say that I was nervous is something of an understatement. We talk about racing, horse shoes, relationships and the new book.

The collar of my jacket was tickling the hairs on the back of my neck. And my heart was pounding. Then a puff of warm, moist air brushed my ear. My heart skipped a beat. He was really close. Then I felt his nose on my shoulder...I couldn’t believe it. Tears came out of nowhere and streamed down my cheeks. I had spoken to him in his own language, and he had listened…and he had chosen to be with me.  He had said, I trust you”…

Heartwarming, joyful and triumphant lightly describes this literary gem by Joe Camp, author, producer, director and, now, horseman. Camp, a prolific raconteur, is best known as the creator of the beloved dog movies, “Benji”, and tackles this unknown equine territory with the same keen insight.

The Soul of a Horse: Life Lessons from the Herd aptly tells two alternating stories between the neophyte journey of Camp and his wife, Kathleen, and a fabled herd of wild horses brought to the New World centuries ago.

“Its all about relationships, choices, and trust. And these guys, [the horses] taught us that the quality of life is often found in the choices we make. That we should approach every relationship, whether it’s with a boss, an employee, a family member or a spouse, from the other end of the lead rope”, says Camp.

The Soul of a Horse: Life Lessons from the Herd is more than a compelling discovery of horses. It is the story of trust in ones instincts and ability to connect on a level that transcends communication and with a species that has survived on Earth for fifty-five million years. Camp’s endearing lessons throughout this amazing story achieve a spiritual symbiosis connecting the horse’s and the neophyte’s worlds. Camp instinctually captures the soul, heart and mystery of the mighty horse while developing a deep respect and reverence for them, and all life, through viewpoints that are both pristine and controversial.

With a forward by Monty Roberts, The Soul of the Horse: Life Lessons from the Herd is not just for horse lovers but for anyone who has loved any living creature.
