We had a fantastic time with Vicky from Granada and Veronica from Barcelona, who spent the first 2 weeks of August with us. They made great friends with our META helpers. New helper, Nick, joined the crowd and Nathan and Asher, who were here almost all the time, became META residents.
After 4 years of patiently going through walk and trot with an occasional mad gallop on Magic, Nathan has finally grown enough for his legs to reach below the saddle flaps and he finished the summer cantering nicely on Mollie.
During the second week of August Nuria, Nieves, Rebeca and Patricia stayed over – the crowd just got bigger and bigger.
Our younger nephew, Moises, moved up from Magic to Lily and was doing some good control in walk and a balanced rising trot before he went home. Samuel, his older brother and our Nº 1 helper, was here the whole month of August mucking out, feeding and generally organising the stable work. He is now cantering, back in Barcelona with his studies to be an Architect, and hopefully with us again next summer to lend a hand and to progress with his riding.
There were several visits to Murcia for a Capriccino at the Piccadilly Coffee Company. And to celebrate the end of the August camp, Veronica and Ruben took helpers and campers to Aqualandia for the day out.
Next we had Ana, a Spanish girl, who hit it off really well with Beth and Grace and was struck by META Horse Riding fever
. 
Language learning was brilliant. Great friendships were born and everybody turned completely META Horse Mad.
We can’t fotget about our Pony Club mornings, this summer they were amazing,with old friends who have been coming to us since we opened in 2007, for example Asher and Nathan and Alex and Zara.
Then we had other friends like Abigail and Amy who always come to ride with us whilst they are on holiday.
Newer Pony Club regulars are our Norwegian sisters, María and Frida and our Scottish Pony Club members, Kristin and Caitlin.
And this year we are happy to say that we have had a good number of Spanish children at Pony Club – a whole new experience for them. The great thing about Pony Club is that we all get together, make friends and language isn’t a problem.
Our Champagne hacks were great fun. Everybody enjoyed them.
Also great success this year with the excursion groups from the German Cruise boats that dock in Cartagena.
This summer has just been the best!

It seems you had fun with those performance horses. Spending your time with horses is the best time you create a relationship or the deep bonding with them.
