Wednesday, June 13, 2007 Deannie Lynyk comes from Ottawa with a great appreciate for horses of the therapeutic variety (i.e., the kind that can cause crippled riders to feel better). I’d met Deannie before at McDonald’s and shared her interest in Ottawa since I attended Carleton U. there after the Second World War. She had promised to return and soon left to seek Leesa Wickstrom, whom Deannie learned was keeping Appaloosa horses (that breed also has a reputation for helping people). Her own horse is a Pasofino, which she claims can carry a rider at speeds up to 40 m.p.h.—and beneficially.
