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.

THEY BURIED HER ON THE HILL TODAY
Howdy Friends! They buried her on the hill at sunrise. She'd loved that hill in her final years, the trees, the other horses, and the warm sun in late afternoon. A long journey through many hands, homes and hearts had charted her life's trail. Leading her to this...
WHO ARE MANY REALLY WORSHIPING IN CHURCH TODAY?
Howdy Friends! Who are many really worshiping in churches, today? God is not only the God of Love. Love is but ONE aspect of His nature. Christians have fashioned a new one-dimensional love-god-idol. Because it is no longer the Living God they’re worshiping. And...
NO SHOES NO STALLS NO GRAIN
Howdy Friends! Horses will get along, as many of them prove over and over again, with less than ideal conditions and treatment. But that does not mean they are happy, healthy or thriving. In my opinion, we owe it to our horses to provide for them with as natural a...
GRANDPOP – MAKING DECISIONS
GRANDPOP - MAKING DECISIONS Howdy Friends! They’d been in the barn a while. Grandpop and the lad. I could see that as soon as I walked in out of the rain, by the size of the hay bale stack the flat bed wagon. It was a cinch. Rainy days like this one, it was a sure bet...
PROVERBS GOD’S GUIDE FOR LIFE
Howdy Friends! Did You Know: As Christians, we are always growing and trying to please God by the way we conduct ourselves. The book of Proverbs is instrumental in teaching Christians how to conduct themselves not only as Christians but also in everyday living....
TAKING YOUR HORSE BAREFOOT – SOMETIMES A TOUCHY SUBJECT
Howdy Friends! One uncomfortable thing many folks who have decided to take their horses barefoot face is, peer pressure. They've made the decision based on facts we now know to be true; "No shoe can be applied to a hoof without damage, and health compromises." It can...

Howdy Friends! HELP YOUR HORSE FIND HER FEET and BALANCE and CORRECT MOBILITY: When we are reintroducing a horse to correct body carriage, or simply working to reinforce it, this is a great little tool to have in your tool box. A Dog Named Saturday Horses can easily...
CORRECT EQUINE POSTURE MATTERS
Howdy Friends! One reason Correct Equine Posture matters. #1 – Health, longevity, happiness. Okay that’s 3 reasons. I suppose I could list 10 more. But I was looking at a few pictures on FB today of folks happily showing their horses. And as so many times, I saw the...
DON’T DESENSITIZE YOUR HORSE
Howdy Friends! Don't desensitize your horse! We’ve all seen it, owners, trainers or friends working in round pens or rings, with a worried, sometimes terrified horse, waving a bag, a towel or some other object at the horse to “Desensitize the horse.” I understand some...
GOD’S GIFT OF NATURE TO US
Howdy Friends! I sat next to Rosie, Lady by my side, Fluffernutter on my lap, contemplating the day. Sipping my Folgers I imagined other thoughts, things of human importance, but those thoughts could hardly take root. The beauty of the morning was simply too powerful....
