Giacomo, Patrizia, Jacopo and the riders who grew up at the ranch. 2015 world champions with the Italian national team.
Founder · Trainer · Penner
International penner, self-taught by vocation: his first mare at 16, kept with his own earnings in a field near home. With Pasuco he won everything in gymkhanas; since 2000 he has been in Team Penning, up to the 2015 world titles. Today he teaches by watching people the way he watches horses.

At the world championships in France the Jacopo Ranch team wins with the Italian national team in both Team Penning and Ranch Sorting. Before that came the world championships in the Netherlands, the Italian and European championships, and the gymkhanas of the Pasuco years.
The ranch’s penners compete in every class, from Youth to Open, and take part in the circuit’s special events. Every year the ranch’s Ranch Sorting club event draws dozens of teams.
