The photos, dozens of horse images that hang on the 17-year-old’s bedroom walls, take on more meaning with each new day. Every time Anna Tucciarone opens the door, turns on the light and sees the photos, any stresses in her life, big or small, immediately wash away.
“There haven’t been a lot of things to look forward to because of the pandemic,” started the soft-spoken high school student from Mississauga, Ontario. “But the horses, they always bring you up if you are feeling down.”
Some of the horses she speaks of are in fact, her horses.
Along with her father, Jon, Tucciarone currently owns shares of eight Standardbred racehorses through TheStable.ca, a fractional ownership group created by Anthony MacDonald and his wife, Amy, in 2015.
