About
ulrich horse barns

In 1972 Dickson Hall founded Ring-O-Steel to serve the Southern California horse barn market. After proving the concept he incorporated in 1974 and opened a warehouse in Sacramento, CA and Albuquerque, NM. After enjoying 35 years of successful growth of serving many happy customers he sold to Willard Martin. In 2018 Willard Martin joined forces with Ulrich Lifestyle Structures and we rebranded the division to Ulrich Horse Barns. In summer of 2022 we moved our factory to Texas to allow us to more efficiently serve the family horse ranch markets nationwide!
We are the only fully panelized steel horse barn that DOES NOT require welding onsite that is also truly future proof for changing use requirements for horse owners! Our 4′ wide sectional barn components are bolt together allowing the owner or ranch hand to reconfigure in the future without massive equipment or remodeling!
All of our products are made using wood core wall panels with 26 gauge metal on either side. All of our wall panels have a LIFETIME kick through warranty. Our structural frame system is G90 (heaviest coating) galvanized steel and 12- 14 gauge in thickness!!
We are all USA major components & manufacturing! Family Owned and USA Proud!

We are now celebrating 50+ years of serving the equestrian community and are excited as expand our manufacturing to better serve our customers nationwide. To see the other Ulrich Lifestyle products go to www.ulrichlifestyle.com

A Note From The President

Willard Martin is the President of Ulrich Horse Barns LLC, based in Cleburne, Texas. Originally from Pennsylvania, Willard’s childhood was shaped by four years spent on his parents’ ranch in Paraguay, where they worked as missionaries. Upon returning to Pennsylvania, he gained hands-on experience on the family farm and later joined his father in residential home construction and land development. In 2004, Willard and his brother established Dry Creek Mini Barns in California, specializing in sheds, playhouses, and garages. Expanding their business endeavors, they acquired Ring-O-Steel Barns in Torrance, CA. In 2018, Willard joined the Ulrich Lifestyle LLC Team in Fort Worth, Texas, and in 2022, he oversaw the relocation of Ulrich’s steel Horse Barn manufacturing to Cleburne, Texas.
