Sophie has a day at the Spa

If you wondered which dog in the world has it best? That would be our little  Sophie, RAMM’s ‘mascot.’  This little Bishon went to the spa today and you won’t believe what she has done! First step, cutting and trimming her manky and long fur. Her personal groomer works to help her maintain her spectacular looks.  Once her fur is trimmed, after many breaks, “George” allows here to soak in her dog tub, where she is given an invigorating bath. It’s her time to close her eyes and feel all the doggy stress of the world wash right off her! No expense is spared with her Parisian shampoo and conditioner. After that, she’s with her stylist who lovingly blow dries her fur – all the while making sure her coat is soft, silky, and full! With all of that work – she almost looks like a shiny Cadillac coming out of the Top Shelf car wash. Our little lady is magnificent and her fur is glowing.

Sophie Loves that French Shampoo and Conditioner

But things don’t stop there, oh no. Our Princess Sophie also has her Mani-Pedi as well. George works on her nails and buffs and polishes them to sparkling beauty. Yes – we’re still talking about a dog here (don’t be jealous). Ha! After that special time, she then goes to the last phase of her spa day – finishing touches that make her the most pampered, er – beautiful doggie in the world. Our little lady gets some last-minute primping and brushing, and after a spritz of Eau-De-Woof! – she’s finally ready to conquer the world and return to RAMM.

At the end of her spa day, she always has that look in her eye that says – “That’s right. I deserve to be treated like the doggie royalty I am.” Short of a facial – our girl gets the full treatment. So yes – she IS one pampered dog!

Automatic Stall Waterer’s – An Installation Project From RAMM

The Automatic Stall Waterer From RAMM

Mikie Disbrow talks about installing the automatic stall waterers (Mikie and AJ, seen in the video, are from RAMM)

On all of our waterers at our farm we have used a PVC Tube minimum of 8″ diameter (max 12″ diameter, bigger is better). You do not have to use the specific sleeve as described in the instructions as the concept will be achieved by using a PVC tube as well (the pvc is more cost effective). The idea is to tap into the earth’s geo-thermal heat to keep your water line from freezing. The rule of thumb is to take the tube/sleeve below your frost depth, our frost depth is 42″, however, we took our tubes down to about 84″ deep to ensure we would not have any freeze up in the winter. The shut off valve is a standard in line shut off valve and will correspond in size to the water line you run. The shut off valve is not required for the waterers, it is more of a convenience for maintenance if needed. Shut off valves will run a few dollars a piece, and from my experience are worth it as you can isolate a waterer and shut it off if needed. We used 3/4″ black poly water line for all of our waterers and they work just as they should. All of the water pipe, fittings, and shut off valves will need to be purchased based on your layout/configuration.

Sundays, 8/7c on ABC

RAMM Horse Fencing and Stalls was chosen a few seasons ago (2008, Season 5; Episode 18) by the producers of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, on ABC, to provide Flex Fencing for a family in Cullen, Virginia. Michael & Jean Lucas and their sons purchased land to preserve the site of one of the most famous Civil War battlefields – The Battle of High Bridge. Michael, who serves in the National Guard, was unfortunately deployed to Iraq before their dream home could be completed.

RAMM Horse Fencing & Stalls was honored to step in and help the Lucas Family realize their dream. It was important to Michael and Jean that everything be as authentic as possible to tie-in with their property and their new Civil War museum.

For this reason, RAMMs 5.25″ Brown Flex Fence was installed. “I like the security and strength of the fence and from a distance, it really looks like a wood board fence. It is very eye-catching: we receive a lot of compliments about it,” says Michael.

From the RAMM Vault: First-Time Riders

Posted: February 21, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: How-To Articles, Special Events, Training and Riding | Leave a comment »

Many people know that I have had horses for years. And like me, I’m sure you get frequent requests from people who want to ride your horses. Does this sound familiar? “My children love horses, they have always wanted to ride a pony!” Or, “I used to ride horses (at summer camp), I know all about them, could I ride yours some time?” The automatic answer is “Sure, just let me know when!” But afterward, we realize that this is not just a “ride”. Any first-time rider should have instruction before they take their first ride. This takes extra time on your part, but it is a very necessary step. If not, it could be dangerous for them, as well as you.

I talk to numerous people, and many times the subject of horses comes up. About 90% of one-time riders tell me the same story. “Yes, I rode a horse, got bucked off and that was the last time I will ever get near a horse.” The accounts amaze me; horse bites, riding run-away horses, saddles that fall off, getting kicked, and all because the horse owner did not give any instruction beforehand. I try to explain that if they would have known a few simple things before they got on the horse, they truly could have had a wonderful experience. Most people shrug and say ”never again.” With a little instruction, we can help put a stop to these incidents and make first time rides safe and enjoyable.
