Tambi Pearl grew up in Poway riding at the early age of three as a member of the Rainbow Vaulting Team. Tambi joined Poway Valley Pony Club when she was six and even though she didn't have a saddle, she rode bareback on the flat and over fences. At the age of thirteen Tambi was given a two-year old appendix mare that hadn't been ridden. Tambi started this mare and achieved her graduate A National Pony Club Rating on her in just four years. During high school, she drove a team of two Belgian draft horses for Wells Cargo Hayride Company. During the summer she rode in the horse show exhibit at the San Diego County Fair Grounds.

After graduation, Tambi attended Midway College in Kentucky. She competed in the intercollegiate Horse Show Association in the open division. Tambi also worked for many thoroughbred farms at the track and at thoroughbred sales.

When Tambi returned from college, she began teaching students and developing her clientele. She worked with many horses and competed them in multiple eventing competitions from elementary to preliminary levels. Tambi now trains horses, gives lessons in groundwork, dressage, showjumping and cross country. She also owns Tambi's Riding Academy to teach students using safe experienced ponies.

Tambi's training philosophy involves an understanding of the horses needs for a balanced, confident and patient rider. Riding a horse is a partnership that if developed correctly, will continue to grow for a lifetime.
