On Saturday 20 September 2025, Stichting Setter Rescue Netherlands is organising a packed Meet & Greet day for all setters and their owners.
A day where everyone can fully enjoy the dogs, each other and all the activities. Even if the weather is not so good that day, the day will continue, because then we can all go inside the huge riding school hall.
You can park in front of the door, there is enough space for everyone, also with a camper or caravan. We start around 11:00 with a (leashed) walk behind the riding school, around the beautiful complex of the pond. The walk is of course optional, and you can also take this walk again at a later time. Upon returning, you can stroll along the various market stalls while enjoying a snack and a drink and join the various workshops that are being held, or let your dog enjoy a mini-sensory square, let him/her be pampered with a dog massage given by certified dog masseurs, attend the detection workshop (certainly wonderful for setters to do), a palpation session (body check), or a hoopers training. There will be registration forms at all individual workshops, be on time, because full=full.
There is sooooo much to see and do on this day, no setter should miss it. They will enjoy it and so will their owners 😊 Inside the riding school, the dogs have plenty of space to run and romp around. Outside, there are 2 large fields available where all activities will be held.
Of course, our foundation also has a nice stand with all kinds of gadgets for the setters, and our bus will also be present. In addition, the Bernd4dogz transport bus will be present, so that everyone can take a look at a bus with which the dogs are transported from abroad.
Throughout the day, there will be plenty of food and drinks for sale at very reasonable prices, fresh Belgian waffles will be made. During the day, you can buy tickets for a raffle with nice prizes.
And all that for only 10 euros entrance fee, with the first 100 registrations also receiving a nice filled, cotton goodie bag.
There will be a professional photographer present who can take portrait photos, in addition, there will be 2 photographers present who will walk around all day to capture this beautiful day on film.
The organization of this day is the responsibility of the volunteers of Stichting Setter Rescue Netherlands and the German partner foundation Amato Cane e.V.
Any proceeds from this day will therefore be spent on the dogs who are not doing so well and who need it so badly that both foundations have under their care.
Location; Stichting manege de raam provinciale weg 26 5737 GH Mariahout
Entrance fee; 10 euros (to be paid in advance via the registration form)
This day is intended for all setters, the Gordon, Irish, Irish red and white and the English setter. Regardless of where they come from or where they live, everyone is welcome and of course other breeds are also welcome. Hopefully we can welcome a unique number of setters, and together we will make it an unforgettable day.
There will be drinking troughs available everywhere for the dogs.
Please clean up dog droppings immediately, poop bags will be provided. Remember that after us the horses also want to walk around in a clean place
