Jacob Charles Mattia Springhetti

1999-2018

It is with heavy hearts, that we announce the unexpected passing of one of our riders, Jacob. 

Jacob's Dad told us that when he was younger he was afraid of horses and riding but that eventually changed and horses became a part of Jacob's life and it was one of his happiest places to be, on the back of a horse. Here at KTRA we had the pleasure of working with Jacob in lessons and seeing his joy of horses. Every lesson he had to ride down the walk-way to find Ashley to say "Hello". We will really miss Jacob's incredible smile here at KTRA. In honor of Jacob we will be creating the ‘Jacob Springhetti Memorial Trophy’  that will be awarded to an outstanding rider once a year at our Annual Horse Show.
