            In 1995, John had the good fortune to receive in training the young two-year-old stallion named "A GOOD MACHINE"  from his owners Skip and Mary Niklaus.    Dr. Niklaus and his wife Mary of Enola, Pennsylvania sent the two year old to John to be trained for the 1995 Congress 2 Year Old Western Pleasure Futurity.    John instantly fell in love with "Mac" and when asked  what one thing he would change about A Good Machine if he could, John replied that the only thing that he would change would be that he (John) owned the horse.  The Niklaus' and the Dean's became partners on A Good Machine in 1996 and remained co-owners of the stallion for 5 years.   In 2001, the opportunity arose for the Dean's to purchase the Niklaus' portion of A Good Machine and in September of 2001, they happily became the sole owners of the popular stallion.  On Thanksgiving Day of 2007, they were contacted to see if the Dean's might be interested in selling A Good Machine.  Given the right owners and the right circumstances, they said it was a possibility.  In February 2008, Chris & Liane Warwick Drake of Buckinghamshire, England became the new owners of A Good Machine.  The Drake's purchased a state of the art breeding facility in Tioga, Texas and Keith Long, their ranch and breeding manager will stand A Good Machine in 2009.   Along with John & Kim and Keith & Anna Long, the Drakes stand together to promote A Good Machine & and his offspring.   The ranch is located on FM 922 in Tioga, Texas.
