A walk down memory lane – Cori at 3.

It has been really hectic lately. Between work and finishing off the new barn (fencing is going up now), it has been hard to find a minute of peace. I have been feeling stressed outta my mind.

Yesterday mom told me of a radio show she listened to featuring cellist YoYo Ma. One of my favorite pieces of music is the Prelude for Bach’s Cello suite 1. I think this is one of the most lovely pieces of music ever written, and no one performs it quite like YoYo Ma.

For some reason, this music makes me think of my mare Cori. Like that musical piece, Cori is beautiful and fluid. Sweet and calming. Sometimes she can be cranky and a brat, but I am sure that if you looked inside of her you would find a true heart of gold. At one time I did a video montage of Cori under saddle and in harness back in 2003, when she was being trained. Tonight I dug that up and reprocessed it. YoYo Ma is playing Bach, accompanying Cori as she does a nice horse ballet for us.

So, kick back for two minutes, sip a warm cup of coffee, and enjoy something pretty. These little things make it all worthwhile.
