Lindsey Canesi is a young woman I met when she purchased a Thoroughbred from the barn where Valie is boarded. Despite a huge age difference between us, we became very close friends. I rapidly grew to rely upon her expertise as a horsewoman and even her wisdom as a friend. It was a joy to meet someone so young that was so intelligent and ever-so-wise and she possessed a golden heart as well! When I found myself upset about something, Linds was there for me, comforting me and as well as helping me to feel that everything was going to be all-right! Wow, talk about role reversal, when it should be me, the Auntie figure in her life, taking care of her. But she knew that I was committed to being there for her when she needed me!
Anyway, up until the time she moved her horse to a stable that was more akin to the type of riding she was going to do, we had a lot of fun and spent a lot of time helping one another at the barn. I am happy to report that she and I have remained friends and I wish her nothing but the best; however, she is one young woman that is going places in life so remember the name, Lindsey Canesi, because I'm sure you'll hear it in the future or see it in print as she makes her mark in the show ring!
Anyway, I want to take a moment to post a photo of her wonderful off-track Thoroughbred, Sweet William. They recently went to their first show of the 2008 season at Azrael Acres here in Massachusetts and they did very well. So, with that said, "Please allow me to introduce Lindsey's, Sweet William!
