ABOUT LEAH CALVIN
As of January 1st, 2023, Leah Calvin is the new face of The Right Fit Equine Company!
Leah has always had a passion for horses since early childhood. Upon high school graduation she went straight into Oregon’s only accredited Certified Veterinary Technology Program, graduating college in 2004 as a Certified Veterinary Technician.
She brings 24 years of experience from working in multiple fields of Veterinary Medicine through the years, including some mixed animal practices. She has been independently studying saddle fitting since 2009, and became an apprentice with the founder of The Right Fit Equine, Juli Ulm in 2021, who recounted that Leah has a natural talent and keen eye for saddle fitting, and extensive knowledge of the Equine anatomy!
Starting in 2023, she is now answering the equine industry’s great need as a qualified Independent Saddle Fitter in the Pacific Northwest. Leah is always enthusiastically learning new information and techniques of the trade, and is currently enrolled in the world's premier saddle fitting school; Saddle Fit 4 Life Academy for a Certification in Equine Ergonomics, to be completed likely in Spring 2024.
Leah has also brought with her some exciting supplementary therapeutic options into The Right Fit’s Saddle Fitting regime. She has decades of experience with, and is offering Red Laser Therapy sessions for horses and dogs. Check out the "Red Laser Therapy" tab for more information! She also has a new Thermography Camera that she is learning to use.
Leah is currently traveling to clients for saddle fitting within about 150 miles of Portland, Oregon. She also still consults regularly with Juli, and occasionally works out of her facility located in Lebanon, Oregon. Infrastructure is being laid now for a haul-in area at her current residence in Gresham, Oregon. Plans for a facility where she can teach saddle fitting classes will be happening in the coming years.

Our Clients Say

"Leah went above and beyond getting Stetson fitted for a comfortable saddle. She shimmed my current pad to make it work while I shop from a list of suggested saddles to purchase new or used. Blown away by her complete report with measurements, pictures and suggested fixes along with helpful learning videos. Highly recommend her complete professional fitting!"
