Tad Wentzell of Bushnell, Florida is one of our bright new teamsters on the circuit having gotten involved a couple years ago.  He's been learning and refining his skills while driving for Arthur Durgin and the Durgin & Crowell outfit.  Tad competes with four horses in some lightweight classes but mostly the heavyweight class in his home state of Florida during the winter and throughout New England all summer.  When he is not pulling horses Tad is pursuing a degree in the veterinary sciences.  He lists the pull in Webster Florida as his favorite pull to compete at and his most important accomplishment in pulling was finishing first at the Connecticut Valley Fair in Bradford, Vermont in his very first competition.  Tad's father Rick can also be found competing on the pulling circuit.  Tad says about his experience pulling horses, " I'm learning and Loving it!"
