Why Relationship First Works: Why and How It Changes Everything: 5 by Joe Camp (16-Feb-2012) Paperback

by Joe Camp

Another eBook Nugget from The Soul of a HorseBest selling author Joe Camp and his wife Kathleen were lucky enough to stumble onto Monty Roberts Join-Up before their first horse ever arrived, so that's where they began with each and every one of their herd. And it made such an absolute difference for them to establish relationship first and true leadership right from the get-go. Their herd members are now all willing partners who never stop trying. Stacy Westfall says the best thing she ever did for her training is to do no training whatsoever until the relationship is right. Come along with Joe and Kathleen as they learned what to do, how to do it, and why. And why and how it very simply changed everything with their horses.With free Kindle apps, download this book to your computer, iPhone, Android, Blackberry, iPad, Kindle, or all of the above for one teeny little price of 99 cents!

Nicely written, but basically an infomercial for the Monty Roberts training method. It's nice that -- unlike many people devoted to one style of training -- he does not denigrate other trainers or systems.

Affirming philosophy, for the good of the horse.

Meeting the horse on his or her terms simply makes sense. We need to learn their language and communicate in ways they understand if we want to build a relationship with our horses. This book reaffirms my belief that just hanging out with my horse is as good as, or maybe even better than, groundwork or riding. It’s building a trusting friendship.

This is so short it felt like cheating. But it was pure pleasure to read, due to his very down-to-earth writing style and home-grown humor. My kind of people. I am researching horsemanship approaches, in preparation for fixing up the barn to welcome our own equine(s). I haven't had a horse since I was 18, and a LOT has changed since then! I feel almost as if I'm starting from scratch. Mr. Camp has several guidebooks in Kindle for $0.99, a good place to start...

Love your books Joe.

What a read. The only disappointing part of this book and all of Joe Camp's books is that they end. What a storyteller. He makes you go from one emotion to the next.I have been a horse owner for all my life and I'm still learning thanks Joe.

[Kim Vandrisse]

Good book for those who want to worh with their horse rather than just use them.
