META HALLOWEEN SHOW 2010

META Halloween Show 2010 saw an amazing turnout, a truly international crowd of 30 young participants – British, Spanish, French and German – and more than 100 spectators, all of whom got into the spirit of the occasion wearing monstrous costumes, wigs and make up.

In spite of the cool weather META terrace was crowded from 10 am until 4 pm when the last of the visitors finally left. The BBQ was a huge success made even more appetising by the delicious selection of muffins provided by the Piccadilly Coffee Company – a new coffee shop in the Plaza Santo Domingo, Murcia, well worth a visit.

Our BHS trained judge, Mrs Julie-Anne Jones, recently arrived in Murcia, had a very difficult job deciding the prizes to be given at the Fancy Dress Parade. She took a thoroughly professional approach to the prize-giving of our 2 Gymkhana sections, Beginners and Initiated riders, and our young competitors really had to show their paces. As with last year’s show META was proud to have one of its disabled riders amongst the 2010 winners.

Veronica Campillo took charge of the Show Jumping. Apart from our regular pupils, Leah Twomey spent her week’s half-term holidays here preparing for the show and getting Ecolo into shape. And Sophie-May Clarke brought Darcy, the horse she has just taken on loan from the nearby stable where he is in livery.
