Get to Know Us
Since 2015, we have been running a store with new and used saddles, DobreSiodla.pl. Over the years, we have managed to fit several thousand saddles and conduct countless transactions of buying and selling. Our services also include saddlery, i.e., repairs and renovations of saddles and equipment for horses.
Everything is done in our workshop. Privately, we run our own stable and actively compete in equestrian competitions in both jumping and dressage. In 2019, as a result of our continuous desire for development, we created our own equestrian equipment brand, Balotade. We produce, among other things, saddles, bridles, breastplates, and bits.
