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.
Sign up to join the ride! ~ Gitty up, Dutch.

LEADER or BOSS FOR YOUR HORSE
LEADER or BOSS FOR YOUR HORSE Howdy Friends! When I hear that old tired saw, "You need to show your horse who's boss," it gives me pause. I've never liked that approach any more than I like, "She's testing you and you can't let her win," or "You need to be the alpha...

GRASS AND HORSES AND PROBLEMS IGNORED Many of our domestic horses face their biggest health threat every day. And are encouraged to eat it. Sadly by ignorance, or complacency, the equine industry ignores it. Owners ignore it. Professionals ignore it. The industry...

HORSES EMOTIONS
