RAMM FENCE & STALLS
Creating Safer Alternatives for Horses In and Out of the Barn WORDS: APRIL BILODEAU
CHOOSING THE RIGHT FENCING OPTIONS for your farm
can be one of the most important decisions an owner can make. RAMM Fencing and Stalls considers product education and safety for horses as their top priority. Debbie Disbrow, CEO, faced this decision when building her boarding facility over 36 years ago.
“We thought we had purchased the best fencing product we could,” Disbrow tells The Plaid Horse. “But what we were told was the best actually wasn’t, and we had problems pretty quickly.” With 21 horses on her property, Disbrow knew she needed good fencing to keep horses safe and clients happy. She and her husband discussed the importance of quality fencing and warranties so horse owners could avoid the issues that they encountered. From this experience, RAMM Fencing and Stalls was created.
BETTER FENCING RAMM offers several different types of fencing to their customers, but each type of fencing has the same top priority–horse safety. The Flex Fence for example, manufactured by RAMM, is built to embrace impact should a collision occur with the fencing. “Our fencing has a stronger break strength and can flex up to eight inches on impact,” says Disbrow. “The fencing has 3,200 pounds of strength per rail.” Customers like Nathalie Ferrato, a longtime horsewoman and breeder who owns Movin Majestically Farms, has been amazed by the safety benefits of RAMM’s fencing. “I found RAMM Fence through a neighbor who also had it. I ordered enough for my perimeter at first to test it out,” says Ferrato. “One of my horses, while running into the muddy ditch, lost his footing.”
