"Feature Friday - Patti Jo Duda and the Equine Wellness Symposium"

Howdy Folks,

Tomorrow I'll be honored to be one of the demonstrators at the second annual Equine Wellness Symposium at the Greene County Fairgrounds in Waynesburg PA. The Symposium is a gathering of folks who are involved in helping horses have the healthiest, happiest lives possible. It's the brainstorm of Pattie Jo Duda who practices Equine Touch Therapy, a healing, holistic therapy for horses. As she worked with other peoples' horses she often thought of all the wonderful things folks offer to help horses, and their people. Those thoughts gave her the idea to bring as many of those people together and offer demonstrations for anyone who loves horses.

Anyone who has ever put together an expo, a show, or exhibit understands the complexity, hurdles and the dedication and commitment it takes to succeed. Patti Jo has that commitment, and this year the Equine Wellness Symposium proves to be a very exciting and informative event!

The fun starts Saturday at 8:00AM and runs through the day with clinics, demonstrations, talks and parades of breeds. On Sunday all the demonstrators will be available for private sessions. A wonderful touch! If you are anywhere near the Greene County Fairgrounds in Waynesburg PA you'll want to be part of the fun! Your horse endorses it!

Welcome to the Coffee Clutch

Welcome to the Coffee Clutch, a happy place to visit. I write uplifting stories about a wide variety of subjects from horses to birds and nature, to love and family and friends. Sometimes I'll post excerpts from stories I've written for Equine Publications. Sometimes I'll post about writing itself. Coffee Clutch got its name because I often write while enjoying my morning coffee in the barn with my mare Kessy, and all our critters. Join us here for fun conversation and stories I promise will make you feel good.

It's For The Horses

This is not a book about riding, or training horses. It is a book on my thoughts, ideas and suggestions on how folks might find the joy in doing things for the horse, with the horses’ point of view as the leading guide. My hope is to help as many people as possible learn to hear the horse, feel their spirit, and in that way help horses everywhere. Over the years I’ve met and worked with remarkable people and horses who taught me about their feelings, their joys, their sadness, and their spirit. As a horse advocate everything I do is from the horse’s perspective, including this little book. Every story, idea, suggestion and thought on these pages will be to suggest and share thoughts and ideas on how to maximize a relationship between horse and human—from the horse’s point of view.

Tom Named by Horse

The only man ever to offer Tom respect is Red Cloud. The only woman to give him love is Red Cloud’s granddaughter. Struggling with his own personal demons, Tom finds himself wedged between honoring that friendship and staying true to the depths of his conscience. Amid a backdrop of tumultuous social upheaval, he finds nothing prepared him, the woman he loves or Chief Red Cloud, for the changes about to thunder into their lives, sweeping them helplessly into the tides of human conflict and historical drama. Available on Amazon.

From The Banks OF Little Bear Creek

The Tom Named by Horse Saga continues. Three years after the death of Tall Dog, Tom Named By Horse and Soft Cloud have turned the little soddy, the lands granted them by Red Cloud, and the lean-to barn into a thriving horse ranch, fulfilling Tom’s dream. The Plains Indians Wars, or Red Cloud’s war, is mostly behind them, and the lands have had their transformation as Red Cloud’s vision had warned years earlier. Trailing horses from the ranch to Denver city has become an annual event for Tom, Buck and the rest, and this is the story of that trail. In the spirit of a good old John Wayne movie, vengeance, cattle and horse thieves, a dirty sheriff and corrupt mayor, and a wedding make this year’s drive a ride you’ll want to tag along on.
