TAKE A TOUR OF RUCKMAN RANCH

Alright, welcome to today's vlog. I hope you really like the blindfolded girlfriend trick I did on overnight trips last week. I can tell you that I'm definitely glad it's over and it was actually a little stressful for a second until I did it, reliability, I know you were worried about liability counting capacity, but anyway, I have a lot of people asking about the facility you know, Ruckman Ranch, here, so anyway I thought we'd

take

a little time today to walk you through. and show you the real place and who better to show it to us than Tim Ruckman, the owner, designer, builder, mastermind, care, Marybeth could

take

that away, well, yeah, best night here, but yeah, so we got it with help, like that that half the power got a grunt. in the sweat of this side the design of your side is fine, perfect, let's start, let's show it, let's show everyone the place, let's go check this arena, what do you say?

It's 125 by 250 125 by 250 California company and CDC I thought the fence, I mean, I think we could probably have a pet elephant or a rhino here, so if someone knocks down that fence, there'll be more game for them, I mean , look at this, I mean, it's as gigantic an offense as I am. It could possibly be built and the way it looks when it rotates like this is unique. I mean, it's really cool if they had built this fence at my last house. I loved it so much that we decided to continue with it. We missed it, I don't think it had to be that way.

This thick pit overboard seems to be some kind of theme, I mean, look at me, don't you know, I love music. I mean, we have 16 speakers up here and I have a show and how many stadiums have their own Wi-Fi. There are three Wi-Fi. Fi ports all over the arena look at this and now everything is online like this, so I can do it on horseback, of course, we can change it. I'm always feuding with Leon, which we essentially are from that metal or country headbanger Steph, I mean, look at that, how? Great is that and then what about the LED lights?

Led light. I mean, everything is taken care of in this field, but we all know that you know, especially, the horses with the right reins, the terrain, everything is something that we are always trying to deal with, but I. I mean, you know we have the perfectly level bass underneath, we have a couple of edges of this top layer of dirt on top. I know you come here and you help us a lot with this grout trying to get it right, it's like we have it's okay and it never fails, it's never the right thing for us, so I moved probably the highest maintenance complaining discipline under the sun.

I know, I accept it, okay, well, you don't agree with that, right, I'm standing there never. It's always my fault, it's always the ground fault if the horses are to blame, it's the terrain's fault, yeah that's a big problem, the terrains are a big problem, show them the round pin in the hot water on the way, you can see the outdoor track. This is amazing here, it has no fences so it really makes it feel even bigger. Every distraction you want, which is what I want, so I know my horses are, you know, they're really good and if they're really with me.

I know if they really are, yes, I know if they are not, it's true, this is the place for the night trip, stop on the way out, you can see we have the patient posts here, we tie horses here dry or The horses saddled are prepared to be mounted. A fun part about these new patient foals is that we actually have a direction or it is a free turn in every way, we never have problems, no one gets tied up or these are safe, they are always there. turning so they can't, they can't tie up and everything now, that's so over the top with this, you see what we got to the barn, they made the wood match the wood of the barn, like that, they're pretty, that's a Mary Beth, what we were able to experience is that everything matches, I mean, even on the inside, but you put the shredded rubber on your shredded rubber, shredded rubber, okay, this is a shredded tire with all the cords removed.

I want to make sure the horses are basically walking. in the free box yeah so you've got it covered for us which is great so you know the heat is off it's sprayed so in case we get a little dusty here with the dirt coming out of the bottom of all Anyway, well, it's all about the horses, right? you know, and then you know, given our schedule it rains in the winter, we don't have to stop. I mean, we get the coverage for sure, but having this we can still get them out and keep a regular schedule, nothing, nothing slows us down, no, I can.

I don't have a

ranch

without a tractor and with a dress and a drag, there are several tractors, we have tractors of all sizes for projects of all sizes, once again you can see the fence of our corral, here is a set of Vanity, why wouldn't you? 60 -round pin standing we have our post in the middle we train a lot here you guys have seen me watch me do a tutorial some legwork and stuff here on this 10 is a I guess you could call this a bullpen is I have the fence high and just to show you guys the attention to detail.

You know we have shelves here for our equipment in the arena and Tim actually with this you made them yourself. Does each of us have our own shelf? Although I'm not sure how much riding you're going to do 10, but not much, you have yours, you don't see that much on mine, yeah, jiya has one here, what's with that swirl there? It was a cool story, isn't that supposedly the World's Greatest okay, so it's moved. We relocated 18 eddies on this property and about 36 trees when we were making all this happen and the guys that did all the relocation told me about this eddy and said this is the biggest thing we've ever done.

We've ever moved and I think we're going to apply for the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest relocated whirlpool, yeah we broke a world record guys I think, I think so, I think so, I know we'll go out and film it, but They said take all the tape you can and send it because we don't need to confirm it we just know it's the biggest one and he located it's here at Ruckman Ranch that's all you need to know guys what's so cool it's like the mix here. from the barn looks amazing, but it all comes back to the horses, it has to be what's good for them and we have that too, so it's not like, oh, you look like in some places and they look really fancy and you're like the horses. .

I have these tiny little stalls this is not bad this is it I mean these are twelve by twelve LED lights on each stall with a timer it's Nelson Waters has the fire line here in town in case you know God forbid something what about the misting system Tim, so when it's hot I think it's great, it's hot here in the desert, you came up with this idea. You know, I just threw things out of places I'd been, Karen, and I came up with ideas about things that we thought worked well and barns in the past and then you took those ideas and then you turned them into something even better.

Oscillating fans with lords would be great. You say, well, yeah, but then you get calcification everywhere. Why not a mr. line in the middle that is independent and makes the fans blow it all up, we have found that if you turn this on for 20 minutes and then turn it off for 20 minutes and then turn it on for 20 minutes, I mean, look Also, this is all for try to keep these horses as comfortable as possible. We have a digital thermometer that also works through an app here so we know what the temperature is in the barn at all times.

You know, we have cobblestones. and then right in our work area, which I thought is a great idea, you have this, which is spray rubber, it's actually another crumb rubber that's epoxy, so we wanted to make sure the horse is where he's sitting. that in the barn what they need most is to have some kind of Reeboks again or like in the round pen or in the hotwalker lot we go to the tack room oh wait before we go to the tack room right in front of the tack room the best import from Italy the best signature: you wanted chandeliers in her barn, by God, she got chandeliers, our work chair rack right here and you see how close it is to the sleepers, but at the end of the day, instead of lugging those things in Tim, installed it. to where we just do that and you can lock it and that's it, but then come here, so nice and neat with the zip ties that you can see everything you want to use.

We have many of our show saddles. over here ten, put these cabinets here for us, we have all our various things, you know, you always have things, you have a good machine in there, we have a lot of therapy things that we keep, we have to dig out the plates. on the ground, that makes it where you, the horse, doesn't have to climb on it, yours, no problem, no danger, it's really safe and we just put them here, which increases the blood flow in their legs when those horses get rinsed and we have to let them dry they have to stand somewhere why not stand somewhere else here we have the horse tanning bed now there are heat lamps there I'll turn them on and they get hot so this really scares them away quick , you know, in the winter we're trying to dry them out, you know, we have a lot of horses to work with, but it's also good for their backs, it's good for their muscles, you have a horse whose back hurts a little bit. bring them here, I'm serious, honestly, it feels good right now, okay, we showed you almost everything from the barn, I almost forgot.

Oh, the characteristic place. I think you can't have a barn without a bar, we can sit here and drink our wine. and make sure it's doing its job, they do it, trust me, they do it very well and by which I mean, you weatherized this, so it doesn't matter, you know if it's too hot, they're here with the doors closed. If the weather is nice, the doors open on all doors. I have to tell you that I can't, we can't finish this

tour

without me taking the drink. I mean, look at this entire kitchen oven, look at this wine wall, all custom. oh no, no, I'm not drinking that today, wait never dxd 70 , Sir. .

Ginger replies that that was my ticket, which is like Willy walking through the chocolate factory. You have the golden ticket, that's my golden ticket to the race for a million this year. Enough about your horses, let's start talking about horsepower. Yes, I told you, I told you why this place. that had to be built is that we needed a store, this is the whole front, everyone too, you know, yeah, this is the whole front, this Tim is never just we have to let him have fun and have his store so we can have Yes Of course, and now that all this is done, there are only two places where you will find Tim: either he is here in this room or in his shop down there, look at this place, you are lucky that not everyone has the opportunity to come .

Here and look at this, he has a fun body, horses and horsepower. Matt has 1 horsepower. We're playing with 4,000 horsepower. Wow, like this, just completely minimize everything I do in this now or you guys will catch me. dry and thirsty so Tim is a trope oh that's exactly right oh right oh you don't have a Coors Light sponsorship I have no idea about being the silver bowl I think I really should absolutely I mean, look, look, look at the

ruckman

, he's okay guys. I think we're coming to the end of our

tour

. I think Tim has had enough of this, but I want to give you a little taste or Tim will give you a little taste of real power.

Listen to this.
