A little about John:

John Dienhart was born in Indiana where he learned about grass and dirt on the family golf course. He moved to California when he was 19 then served 3 years in the Army where he made Buck Sergeant E5 in 18 months. He then owned a shop/gas station for a number of years. In 1980 - he started a tractor business where he offered mowing and rototilling services in the Bay Area. Many of his customers that owned horses had personal arenas  and asked him to do something to improve their footing. That is how he got started, again, in dirt work. Today, John is our Footings Specialist; he is such an expert in his field that many show facilities hire him to do the footing/grounds work. You can see John at Murieta Equine Complex, Pebble Beach Equestrian Center, Fort Klamath OR, Nampa ID and many more. He handles the disciplines of Cutting, Jumping, Dressage, Barrel Racing and for the Western States Horse Expo, the Magnificent 7 which is a premier top rate working cow horse competition.
