Gem's best side

Gem seems to ask if her pose is good like that but in reality she couldn't wait for me to stop calling her name since I clearly didn't have any treats anyway!

At least Gem did not have to put up with my riding today - Harry did instead. It was a good lesson and I think my body is slowly (very slowly) starting to do what the brain is telling it and relax instead of seizing up at regular intervals.

We had a lovely time in the sunshine in any case (despite the very scary tiiiiny pony we had to walk past on the way to the school) and I enjoyed the muddy mountainbike ride there and back along the river too.
