Lucky Star Farm
Premier Equestrian Facility in North Texas with Top-Class Dressage Training. Home of Berndt von Hassler Dressage.
Lucky Star Farm is the realization of a lifelong dream, born from the passion for horses shared by sisters Amy Rippy and Jenna Jacques. From their early days with a beloved Irish Connemara pony named Sean, they learned invaluable lessons in horsemanship and humanity. Sean’s enduring spirit and wisdom inspired the name and ethos of Lucky Star Farm, aiming to spread his legacy of kindness and excellence in equestrian care.
Today, Amy and Jenna, together with Jenna’s husband Ryan Jacques, blend their deep-rooted love for horses with their professional expertise as veterinarians. This unique combination ensures that every aspect of the farm prioritizes the safety and well-being of the horses, reflecting our commitment to provide a sanctuary where riders and their equine partners can thrive.
We, the proud owners and caretakers at Lucky Star Farm, are thrilled to open our gates to fellow equestrian enthusiasts. We invite you to join our community, where the legacy of Sean lives on, guiding our mission to create a better world for horses and riders alike.
