A Dog Named Saturday
Coffee Clutch got its name from the blog posts I wrote for years from the barn sitting enjoying my morning coffee with my mare, dogs, kitties and chickens. Folks really enjoyed them. Coffee Clutch is more than a newsletter. It’s a visit, it’s information, it’s fun, it’s musings, barn talk, writing talk, bird talk, horse talk and faith thoughts. And of course, it’s all the news about A DOG NAMED SATURDAY, old new and coming soon.
I’ll share some of my works in progress, upcoming publications, and more. Folks enjoy “The Old Man on the Porch, and Grandpop too, so they’ll be dropping in.

WELCOMING A NEW HORSE HOME
WELCOMING A NEW HORSE HOME Howdy Friends! In recent weeks I’ve had several emails from folks who have purchased a new horse and quickly became saddened, frustrated or disenchanted. All had statements along the lines of, “He wasn’t this way when I rode him there,” or...
LET YOUR HORSE UNDERSTAND YOU
Howdy Friends! Does your horse understand you? Have you spent the time, not teaching her or “training” her, but simply allowing her to understand you? Recently I spent the evening watching a versatility show and noticed riders operating in a different realm than their...
GLORY TO GOD IN ALL THINGS
Howdy Friends! “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.” Paul says in 1 Corinthians 10:31. How do we do that? It’s easy to say it. But just how do we do, “Everything,” for the glory of God. Probably not so easy. We get...
HOLD THE MANE!
HOLD THE MANE! Howdy Friends! “Hold the Mane.” When going uphill, and traversing terrain changes I feel it’s best to grasp a handful of mane, and NOT the saddle. . Ride the horse, not the saddle. It makes the rider lighter in the saddle, and more connected to the...
WHO MADE GOD
Howdy Friends! “Who made God?” Not too long ago a young man was trying his best to prove to me, that his non-belief was a better way than my devotion to Heavenly Father. . He even said, “That’s a blind faith,” as we discussed points. “Yup.” I answered. “By faith alone...
METAL SHOES CANNOT FEEL OR INFORM
METAL SHOES CANNOT FEEL OR INFORM Howdy Friends! Are barefoot horses careful where they step? You bet! Because a barefoot horse can feel their feet and the ground. Horses can see with their feet. More than that Not only feeling the ground and seeing with their bare...
WHAT ABOUT A MOUTHY HORSE
WHAT ABOUT A MOUTHY HORSE Howdy Friends! What about a “mouthy horse?” Recently a friend asked my thoughts about horses who nip, pest and bother with their mouths. First and easiest, never, ever hand feed a horse who is mouthy. Ever. Not even after you fix it. It's...
TRUTH DOES NOT CHANGE
TRUTH DOES NOT CHANGE Howdy Friends! Christians must continue to sincerely defend truth. Even uncomfortable truth. Truth does not change. The True God is He who was, and is, and is to come. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. When God established His...
FESTUS’ ODE TO HIS MULE RUTH
Howdy Friends! Did you ever wonder why Festus always named his mules Ruth? Settle in. I'll tell you a story. Well, during the Civil War Festus was a mule skinner for the Confederate Army. His favorite mule was a jenny named Ruth. Festus loved Ruth like he loved his...
OH THAT’S THE OLD TESTAMENT!
Howdy Friends! “OH That’s The Old Testament!” They say. “That was for then!” They say. Oh but the folly in that thinking. For we should look at the OT not as a history book, but as a living testament, a living message. A living message of warnings, guidance, and...
