Joe Camp's Amazing Journey

by Janice Jones, stallionsmaresandfoals@gmail.com

Joe Camp, film writer, producer, director, author, passionate
speaker, and the man behind the canine superstar Benji.

I just discovered the world of Joe Camp, master storyteller.

He started out making dog movies, in fact, he created and directed all five of the Benji movies and all of Benji's television programs.  The Benji Method is a non-regulation training program that is easy and fun, without the need of an expert or a degree in animal psychology.
After his last movie, “Benji Off the Leash” didn’t do very well, he turned his attention to horses. He began to realize that something was wrong with the traditional methods of training and caring for these amazing animals. 
His national best seller is “The Soul of a Horse – Life Lessons from the Herd.” The book is about what he has learned with each horse and how it transfers to humans. He shows that we should listen, teach and train with love, patience, understanding and that affection gets better results than dictation.



The sequel to that book is “Born Wild – The Soul of a Horse” is about wild horses going domestic and domestic horses going wild and about doing something good for another being. Another book “Horses & Stress” explains the rational explanations behind natural horse care. Taking care of our horses naturally reduces their stress, which Mr. Camp says fixes just about every equine problem. Some of his other books include “God Only Knows, Beginning Ground Work, Why Our Horses are Barefoot, Horses Were Born To Be On Grass, and Horses Without Grass.”
All of these books sound really interesting. I don’t know where I have been or why I haven’t noticed them before. I can’t wait to get ahold of one.

Benefits of 'Going Virtual' with your next event

Our first fully Virtual Expo was launched for Darren and Tana Dale of Star Expos on April 8, 2020. There were numerous benefits to having an online or virtual presence long before the most recent pandemic hit. Do you agree with the following statements for the most part? A desktop computer is powerful, but not without a mouse. An iPod is powerful, but not without a menu of songs. A cell phone is powerful, but not without a touch screen. The web is powerful, but not without a browser or simple user interface. My point?  The power is in being able to control and develop the interface that brings the web to our eyes and ears... that interface is known as a website . We have been transforming real life scenarios into websites for over 20 years. This virtual world is our playground. We've built more than 1,000 websites for businesses in 26 states and 3 foreign countries. Welcome to a world where ideas are not limited by what you think is possible. I have said for a long time now that w...

Celebrating 20+ years!

by Brian Hale,  Hale Multimedia  brianhale@consultant.com We are excited about an old website with a ton of new potential.   For over 20 years, the Horseman's Corner at horsemanscorner.com has been a great place to listen to the radio programs produced by Hall of Fame radio broadcaster Howard Hale!  After two plus decades of radio on the internet, The Horseman's Corner is ready to expand.   "We've actually talked about it many times, but with so many other projects, we just didn't have time to focus on it.  Now that we have 20 more years of exposure in the horse world, we've decided to make it a priority to upgrade the website to include feature writers, feature podcasts, horses for sale, an events calendar, PLUS all kinds of equine products and services for sale, many times direct from the manufacturer."  The new website, redesigned by Hale Multimedia, includes a newly developed Horses For Sale by Owner section that is now sortable by sex or...
