As someone with 5 spaniels - WCS and ESS - can confirm they're certainly not ideal as first dogs and would definitely recommend finding a local dog trainer who understands (as much as you can) how spanners tick!
Think her biggest problems will be the little love taking itself off hunting while at the horsesplus I'd be very cautious about a first time dog owner taking on a rescue!
I have half a spaniel
