About Leigh Meyer
Leigh Meyer has always had an entrepreneurial spirit. As an elementary school-aged girl, she often enlisted the help of her best friend for one of her money-making ideas. Lemonade stands, a "circus" in the backyard, and a hedge-trimming service were among their endeavors, but she also had a benevolent heart when the dynamic duo collected for the Empty Stocking Fund...in July! ​
Leigh started her first income-producing business when she was 14 years old teaching riding lessons with her horse. ​
At the age of 16, she began teaching swimming lessons in her family's pool during the summer. 1980 was the year of struggle for the real estate industry; however, coming from a real estate family, she wanted to give it a go. Interest rates for conventional financing were 21 to 23%. Although she successfully sold several houses, the income wasn't enough to help support her young family. She went part-time in real estate and became involved in corporate aviation training through FlightSafety International. Leigh was an integral part of their marketing department, and after leaving the organization, her manager remarked, "We have not been able to replace Leigh with a person of her abilities and work ethic. She is very resourceful and can accomplish any goal she sets her mind to."
After leaving FlightSafety, she went back to the real estate industry and opened a successful real estate appraisal company on the north side of Atlanta which she successfully operated for ten years. Leigh began riding horses again for a hobby and decided to go full time in the mid 90s. She and her husband, an established trainer, opened an Arabian show horse training program in 1989, and in 1996 it became a full time profession for her including starting a horsemanship academy, a non-profit Equine Assisted Activities and Therapeutic Horseback Riding program, and a nationally competitive horse training program.
​
As a bonus to her other qualities and abilities, she is a self-taught, folk artist and offers some of her work on a variety of "canvases!" Each work that she creates has an sentimental catalyst behind it. Each one has some kind of special meaning for her or for a friend and she finds great satisfaction in sharing this gift with others. It is extremely gratifying to create something special for others!
