OtavaJ

OtavaJ is a saddlery and leatherworking business based in Prostějov, specializing in custom-made leather goods and equestrian equipment. Its principal products are riding saddles, including the Galla jumping saddle, Commander dressage saddle and Hekla saddle, alongside items such as the Kasir and BUS bags, belt pouches and other leather accessories. The business also repairs saddles and provides saddle fitting for its own products and saddles from other brands.

Fitting is carried out by appointment, generally within 100 kilometres of Prostějov from April to October, subject to weather and suitable conditions. The process considers the horse’s current back shape as well as the rider’s needs, and includes checking how shortlisted saddles fit both horse and rider. Where the saddle’s construction allows, its flocking can be adjusted. Customers may arrange second-hand saddles for assessment, with transport assistance available for a fee, or have their own saddles checked. OtavaJ emphasizes proper saddle use and encourages riders to test a fitted saddle and monitor the horse’s comfort as it adjusts.
