Our Story

How It All Started

In 1998, John Dienhart identified a need for arena equipment that could deliver the right mix of cushioning and leveling keeping footing in prime condition.

Building on a Shared Vision

John partnered with Dean Hendrickson, who shared his commitment to quality. When John retired, Dean took over, upholding the West Coast Footings tradition of providing professional, high-quality arena surfaces.

Dean’s Direct Approach

Dean, affectionately called Tractor Dean, remains hands-on with every project, ensuring every surface is safe and every arena meets the West Coast Footings benchmark.

Decades of Trust

For more than 25 years, West Coast Footings has been the go-to for equestrian facilities across the West Coast, recognized for experience, innovation, and a focus on safer, durable arenas.
