Apologies for such a long gap since the last blog. Its been a bit of a roller coaster of a month, and computer hours have been few. This promises to be a long one to catch up Probably best to get the bad bit out of the way to start with. Racing as life, has its ups and downs, but it does seem in this game that the contrasts are extreme Last blog was all of excitement of a winner, this one  is the horrible trauma of losing a much loved member of the team. Garrahalish was the first horse that Charlie I bought on our first shopping trip to Ireland, and has been a super horse to train for The Just 4 Fun partnership.

Sadly that was not to be, he uncharacteristically fell early in the race. The fall did not look too bad, but proved fatal for poor Gary when he fractured his neck. Luckily Charlie Ok, but like the rest of the team devastated at the loss of this lovely horse. A long way home for Robin Harriet T, his devoted lass, who deserves a medal for bravery. Many commiserations to the Just 4 Fun group. Trying to find another Gary always going to be a hard call, but a job that needed starting sooner rather than later.

The usual tear around Co Wexford at high speed resulted in one outstanding individual, and after a few days of discussion the deal was done. Cheers Delboy is a beautiful 4 year old by Golan, who has been second in a point to point, only beaten a neck. The next debate was how to get him home, along with Dancing Daffodil who has been at stud in Fermoy and is now in foal to Frozen Fire. Before we could get it sorted another likely candidate reared its rather handsome head, and there was another space on the lorry to fill. Future Boy is a 5 year old by Beneficial who has also been second in a point to point, beaten three lengths by a horse that has now won three points. A very good effort, and a valid explanation for a disappointing run after. Not worried about that just a few square meals and some TLC required. With three to collect it was decided that Harriet I would go collect them. Had not quite factored in the fact that there was only one day that it could be done so a very quick turn around on our return from an event at 7pm, saw us back on the road by 8.

Greyhounds are dolichocephalic, with a skull which is relatively long in comparison to its breadth, and an elongated muzzle. TemperamenteditGreyhounds can be aloof and indifferent to strangers, but are affectionate with their own pack. They are generally docile, lazy, easy going, and calm. Greyhounds wear muzzles during racing, which can lead some to believe they are aggressive dogs, but this is not true. Muzzles are worn to prevent injuries resulting from dogs nipping one another during or immediately after a race, when the hare has disappeared out of sight and the dogs are no longer racing but remain excited. Contrary to popular belief, adult Greyhounds do not need extended periods of daily exercise, as they are bred for sprinting rather than endurance. Greyhound puppies that have not been taught how to utilize their energy, however, can be hyperactive and destructive if not given an outlet, and therefore require more experienced handlers. Greyhound owners and adoption groups consider Greyhounds wonderful pets. Greyhounds are quiet, gentle and loyal to owners. They are very loving, and enjoy the company of their humans and other dogs.

Greyhounds can live comfortably as apartment dogs, as they do not require much space and sleep almost 1. Due to their calm temperament, Greyhounds can make better apartment dogs than smaller, more active breeds. At most race tracks, Greyhounds are housed in crates. Most such animals know nothing other than being in a crate for the majority of the day. Therefore, crate training a retired Greyhound in a home is generally easy. Many Greyhound adoption groups recommend that owners keep their Greyhounds on a leash whenever outdoors, except in fully enclosed areas. This is due to their prey drive, their speed, and the assertion that Greyhounds have no road sense. In some jurisdictions, it is illegal for Greyhounds to be allowed off lead2. Due to their size and strength, adoption groups recommend that fences be between 4 and 6 feet tall, to prevent Greyhounds from jumping over them. AbilitieseditCoursingeditThe original primary use of Greyhounds, both in the British Isles and on the Continent of Europe, was in the coursing of deer.

CompanioneditHistorically, the Greyhound has, since its first appearance as a hunting type and breed, enjoyed a specific degree of fame and definition in Western literature, heraldry and art as the most elegant or noble companion and hunter of the canine world. In modern times, the professional racing industry, with its large numbers of track bred Greyhounds, as well as international adoption programs aimed at rescuing and re homing dogs that were at a surplus to the industry. They have redefined the breed in their almost mutually dependent pursuit of its welfare as a sporting dog that will supply friendly companionship in its retirement. Outside the racing industry and coursing community, the Kennel Clubs registered breed still enjoys a modest following as a show dog and pet. There is an emerging pattern visible in recent years 2.
