Did I tell you Mum has been given the use of a trampoline?.  Apparently it should improve her core muscle strength and thus her riding.  As part of our morning routine she has a few bounces before going to work now.  She says that she feels better for it.  It all seems very up and down to me.  I'm relieved its Mum and not Aunty Biscuit that is doing it. I believe Aunty Biscuit agrees with me on that score.
