About the Author

Joe Camp showed us the heart and soul of a dog when he created the canine superstar Benji. And he lured us into the soul of a horse in his engaging, emotional, and often humorous best seller The Soul of a Horse: Life Lessons from the Herd, now in its 11th printing, a book that set traditional thinking about horses on its ear while changing the lives of horses and people all across the planet. Camp now deftly lures us back into the heart and soul of a horse in his new and powerful Horses & Stress - Eliminating the Root Cause of Most Health, Hoof and Behavior Problems. Camp has written, produced and directed seven theatrical motion pictures (including all of the Benji movies) cumulatively grossing well over the equivalent of $600 million in today's dollars, making him one of the most successful independent filmmakers of all time. In addition to his nine books about horses, and his recent God Only Knows, Joe has also written three novels from his own screenplays, and several children's books, and a Benji training book. He is also a passionate speaker. Joe believes that anything is possible if you work hard enough and have faith in yourself and God. Even with all the accomplishments and media exposure, he is still in awe of his own success. "Inside, I'm still a kid sitting in a dark theater in Little Rock, Arkansas, watching Disney's 'Song of the South' or reading books like the Black Stallion with happy tears rolling down my cheeks," he says. "To be able to bring that that kind of happiness to others is very special." 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." - 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." - Rick Lamb - TV/Radio host - The Horse Show "Heartwarming, joyful and triumphant. A literary gem."
