ABOUT US

John and Jen Torbert have been involved with horses for over 30 years. As a child, Jen grew up taking english riding lessons and bought her first horse at age 12. She went on to compete in local shows with both of her horses until she left for college. Jen continues to ride today for pleasure. She still takes english and western riding lessons on her horse, Chewy. John grew up on farms with horses his entire life. He rode western for fun, but his passion is agriculture. John has been farming for most of his life and continues to farm today. He grows hay and runs a small home grown produce stand with his son John Jr. John and Jen opened their first boarding business in the 80’s starting with only six stalls. It was very successful, however, they decided to take a break from the horses to pursue other career paths. They opened Cambria Stables in 2001 and involved their daughter Erin. They expanded to offer training, lessons, and summer camp.
