ABOUT LEAH CALVIN
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 was 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 2025.

I cannot recommend Leah highly enough! Her skill, and depth of knowledge of equine anatomy, movement, and saddle fit is amazing. She not only knows her stuff, but she is a pleasure to work with. I felt comfortable asking any question, and never felt rushed. I now have a very comprehensive report, which includes several recommendations for stock and custom saddles that would fit my guy. And don't miss out on The Right Fit custom pad, they are gorgeous!

Leah Calvin from The Right Fit Equine came out to our farm to fit my horse. I have to say I was initially impressed with her communication about what I could expect from the fitting and the cost. Also, she was right on time which I really appreciated.
She was very thorough and walked us through what she was doing throughout the fitting process. She was friendly and professional during the process and let us know what she thought about our current saddles.
Leah had the report back to us within a week and I was very impressed with the amount of information and the detail she provided in explaining the fitting process. She also provided information regarding what brand, type of saddles, and saddle pads she thought would be a good fit, as well as what brands/types to stay away from.
She contacted me after sending the report to ask if I had any questions and to encourage me to call if I had questions in the future.
I will definitely recommend her to my friends and I called my vet to recommend her. I will be using her again.

Leah is incredible about breaking everything down, and making it easy to understand. she also works within budgets, and does what she can to ensure the horse has the best fitting saddle, and other tack. She is incredible, knowledgeable, and skilled with horses with unique backs, like swayback (equine lordosis) or any other weird fitting. Her selection of custom trees ensures she can find a good fit for your horse without issue and sends a wonderful and detailed work up after the appointment to make sure no information was missed. The saddles she has on hand are in great shape, and all her for-sale equipment is affordable, and good quality!

I've been trying for months to get the right fit for my horse, and Leah was absolutely amazing. She was very informative, and attentive. Also very thoughtful! Even emailing me all the information I needed ! Gave me a list of saddles as well. I really appreciated her work, and so does my horse. Definitely will suggest Leah to others in need. Just wish I found her sooner! All around enjoyed her technique. Thanks to her I'll have a happier and healthier horse (:
