Growing up in the Bridle Trails neighborhood of Bellevue, Leigh Jasper was surrounded by horses (as well as cats and dogs) from the very beginning. By age eight, her parents had bought her a half Arabian pinto and sealed her passion for horses forever. After earning an MBA from Seattle University and having a successful career in technology and project management, Leigh joined SAFE as a volunteer in 2016. While immersing herself in competing with her Arabian show horses, she also adopted and rehabilitated two rescue horses on her farm in Fall City. Currently Leigh volunteers on the Wednesday morning shift at SAFE as a co-shift-lead. She is also trained as a volunteer with the Washington State Animal Response Team (WASART). In addition to being involved with several other local non-profits, Leigh owns a property management company, and serves on the Board of Directors of Talking Rain Beverage Company in Preston. As a member of the SAFE Board of Directors, Leigh strives to increase our community’s awareness of the remarkable work that SAFE performs and she is determined to continue to be an advocate for horses in need in our local community.
