I'm in Barrow (Holbourne Close). My wife (Suzanne) and I regularly walk Cherry along the canal fields both ways from the Navigation Inn. We like to walk Cossington Meadows and the Outwoods at Woodhouse Eaves. Would be delighted to walk with you and yours. Martin is usually large animals but likes to keep his hand in with smaller ones. We like him as we know him from time when Louise worked for him and have always had confidence in him. I thank the stars that we don't still have horse vet fees…

We like him as we know him from time when Louise worked for him and have always had confidence in him. I thank the stars that we don't still have horse vet fees and shoing. The farrier must cost a fortune now. When we stopped being horsey it was £38 a set - must be much more than that that now?<br />
<br />
Cherry has her stitches out Monday so will thankfully lose her lampshade then!<br />
<br />
We were starting Rally Obedience training this week but our trainer, Jill Gibson. has had to cancel because her dad died this week. Bought a couple of excellent books recently - both clicker based - "Agility right from the start" and "Clicker training Rally Obedience"<br />

Hi Kate - thanks for response. The lampshade has been a problem and she has already smashed the clips on one but thankfully comes of on Monday. Interesting to hear about the evening primrose - I'll have to give it a try.<br />

Ah yes, I know of Brian, and my gran works in Swithland!!<br />
I don't have any of mine in Cossington, though there are a few of mine in Leicestershire close by so you never know! If you ever see me walking you wont miss me with 3 irish and now our new addition an irish red and white!! Where about's are you? You'll have to give me a shout to meet for a walk.<br />
Martin is our vet normally for the horses and Sue Singer who works there keeps her horse at the same field!! Very small world indeed!

Small world Danielle - Martin is our vet at Chine House (my daughter Louise used to work for him there as head nurse. We had horses too up to a few years ago. I had Fred for 10 years (lovely loopy thoroughbred) and then Jess, a Belgian Warmblood, a right slob but I loved him to bits until he developed arthritic hip badly and had to be put down. We had them stabled DIY at Brian Beeby's in Swithland and were members of Soar Valley and Rearsby riding club. Useful advice on vet at Meadow Lane as…

I know of one setter in our village (5 months) and a lovely setter in near Cossington (Rory) - her owner has a broken ankle or something at moment but we see her Mum (I think) walking him sometimes at Cossington Meadows - surely that can't be yours? best wishes, Dennis Thanks GiGi for the welcome a…tag:irishsetters.ning.com,2010-10-01:865021:Comment:3928512010-10-01T08:01:37.201ZDennis Doylehttp://irishsetters.ning.com/profile/DennisDoyle
Thanks GiGi for the welcome and feedback. I am almost resigned to the coat thing but it's not a major issue for us but we do see her already a rich colour although not long haired as yet. Certainly have no regrets re choosing the breed - she's an absolute delight. Main problem is getting around any walk without stopping every 5 minutes to receive ooh's and aaah's from admirers. She loves it - a real tart :-)<br/>

Hi Fran - Thanks for response and lovely to hear of someone else cocking a snoot at those who write off Setters in obedience etc. You just have to see the loads of videos of Setters competing on U-Tube to see that it's all about training and patience (and a good sense of humour.) Thank you for the feedback on coat and eyes - very helpful. Suzanne and I are waiting right now (0900 GMT ) to hear back from the vet that she is OK after the op. I'll keep you posted. very best…

Just checked your page!! I keep my horses in Sileby and they go to Chine House and can vouch that they are one of the best vets going, although if you use Meadow Lane vets in Loughborough and ask to see Nick then you are onto a sure bet as he used to have working Irish and now has working IRW and knows his stuff!!

Hi, do you mean chine house in Leicestershire, in which case you are very near me!!<br />
<br />
One of ,my bitch puppies was spayed by her owners and she still has a lovely coat, as per my suggestion they used Groomers evening primrose spray and the groomers evening primrose oil that is added to the food. Hope this helps and get it touch if it is Leicestershire your in.

Hi Dennis,<br />
Just a thought to consider-a Botox injection would relax the tissue , stop the present irritstion and possibly negate the need for surgery in the future. Just a thought! John
