Auto Awesome

I still have mush brain after driving home from Phoenix, bleeehhhhh.  It was safe and uneventful, thank goodness.  So what am I sharing with you today?  Some of my favorite editions of Google's auto awesome, yes it kindof creeps me out...but it is also super cool!

Zooming Prisoner

 It does this amazing turn multiple pictures into a panorama, and bam horse motion shots!

One of our horses in Phoenix

 It also does random black and whites.

Miss this sweet face

 And then out of the blue it does a collage and makes you tear up.

Possible new favorite photo here!

This one is from after my ride today.

He was awesome

Seriously guys, my horse still rocks.  He had the week off while I was gone and then yesterday we did some simple walk/trot/canter and some transitions.  Today I did some serious flatwork/dressage and he was spot on.  Guess what I have video!  I took a page out of Monica's book and videoed myself, why did I never do this before?  I just leaned my phone against a sprinkler/fence post and tadah!  Lots to work on always, but every ride is an improvement.


Also, our matching game was on point!

Navy and pink, yeah yeah!

Jump lesson tomorrow, can't wait!
