Dave Soler, Diversified Equine CenterTechnician Dave grew up on a Dairy Farm in rural Arlington. It was here where he perfected his expert fencing techniques and tractor driving skills. When not around the barn he enjoys showing off his trailer driving skills (lessons available) and yard maintenance. Dave is our “go-to” guy when things come undone, break, fall off or fall apart. With his extensive knowledge and power tool collection he is able to handle just about any problem that may arise. He also serves in an informal capacity as human hay elevator and resident BBQ expert.
