The owner and head trainer is Tricia Rabalais. Tricia started riding at the age of five and received her first t horse, Gold the Great, in 1988.

She started giving pony rides in her front yard to fund her horse habit at the very early age of nine. This progressed to teaching riding lessons at age 13. In January 2000, she purchased 7.5 acres in Maurice, LA and started developing Cambridge Stables from the ground up.

Tricia is a former Pony Club member who competed in Nationals twice. She has also competed in dressage, hunters, jumpers, and eventing. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Child and Family Studies from the University of Louisiana.

Tricia is a past board member of Acadiana Therapeutic Riding Organization (ATRO). As a charter member of the Acadiana Hunter Jumper Association (AHJA), she was instrumental in initiating a local horse show circuit. Cambridge Stables hosts several AHJA horse shows throughout the year.

While young beginner riders are a big part of the lesson program, many of her advanced students have gone on to compete and win in many regional and national competitions.
