Training
Our award winning horse training program is customized to meet each horse and rider’s goals whether that is showing or pleasure riding. Horses in full training will be worked, looked after and groomed throughout the week by our staff. One complimentary lesson per week is offered with the training package and riders are eligible to participate in our monthly team practice. We believe it is important to train the rider/driver together with the horse in order to make a good team.
Horses are trained in a calm, yet assertive manner yielding a well behaved and happy horse! If your horse requires special medical care, we will attend to everything as well as managing farrier and vet services. You can have peace of mind in knowing that we will take care of everything.
Lead trainer Tara Wentz-Goosley is a USEF licensed judge and has trained multiple World, National & Regional champions and takes a personal approach to each horse and riders needs. Assistant Trainer Tiana Tapper is knowledgable, encouraging and dedicated to achieving the best for each horse and rider team. Our team offers high quality training at attention to detail (including vetting, farrier, nutritional needs) at an affordable rate.
Training Rate with complementary weekly lesson $1100 (monthly)
Boarding
At Wentz Stables, we take great pride in the level of care our horses receive. We have been in the business for over 30 years giving you the confidence to know that your horse is in good hands. Horses in our care have the benefit of 24 hour on site personnel and a clean and well managed facility. Our ideal location is just outside of Allentown, PA yet extremely private and scenic.
Most of the lucky horses in our boarding program have been with us for years. Many are show ring retirees that deserve to be treated just as well as when they were in the prime of their career. We hope it is a place you can't wait to come visit your horse at.
Horse boarding includes multiple daily feedings on a schedule, fresh water, daily stall cleaning regardless of holidays or brutal weather, small group turnout, and access to all barn amenities. Farrier, vet and dental services are scheduled for routine care and yearly vaccinations.
At this time our boarding program is full. We are currently only accepting full training horses only.
Boarding Rate $650 (monthly)
Academy
We offer opportunities for students looking to get involved in competing or wanting to experience what it would be like to have their own horse. Riders can lease one of our great lesson horses or put their own privately owned horse in the program.
Students have the benefit of learning on and competing with a horse perfectly suited to them for an affordable rate. Leasing your choice of lesson horses secures the same horse teammate for the student. One lesson per week is included in our Academy lease program and riders are eligible to participate in our monthly team practice.
The Academy division is designed to give beginner riders an opportunity to compete against their peers on a level playing field in which horses are not judged and must be part of an active lesson program. ALL of our Academy horses will be used in our lesson program in order to be eligible to compete in Academy. However, we like to select students that will compliment the horse to reinforce positive behavior in addition to addressing any necessary re-schooling to help maintain the horse for the specific rider.
Academy Lease Rate with weekly lesson $600 (monthly)
