Passier Grand Gilbert GG Extra Dressage Saddle powered by Ingrid Klimke Configurator

Passier Dressage Saddle GG Extra powered by Ingrid Klimke

The new GG Extra was developed in collaboration with master rider and Passier partner Ingrid Klimke. Its new, modern look makes this popular model a new highlight. The comfortable deep seat, anatomical thigh blocks, and soft knee rolls with comfortable quilting ensure direct contact with the horse.

Thanks to the design insert with alternative stirrup leather guidance, the saddle is a real eye-catcher! Due to the saddle panel for more wither freedom, the saddle lies evenly on the horse's back. Team Klimke – now also in the dressage arena powered by Passier!

Passier Saddle Configurator

With us, you can customize your desired Passier saddle according to your wishes. We will show you which features you can individualize.

Saddle Tree

First off: You cannot choose the saddle tree for every saddle, as it depends on the saddle model. The heart of every saddle is the saddle tree. Its development and further development are therefore at the center of attention for every saddle manufacturer. Passier uses two different saddle trees, the PS saddle tree and the synthetic saddle tree (K-saddle tree). Both offer numerous advantages.

Due to their high flexibility in the longitudinal axis, both saddle trees can move with the horse even in turns – the spine remains free. The narrow waist of the saddle trees allows riders to sit deeply in the saddle. The adjustable gullets ensure that Passier saddles can be adapted to any horse even retrospectively. The short gullet bars ensure that the horse's shoulder has particularly free movement. Thus, both saddle trees are guarantors of maximum horse-friendliness.

There are generally two different types of saddle trees at Passier:

K-Tree or Synthetic Tree

The K-saddle tree is made of an elastomer, a material that cannot break under normal handling and therefore meets the highest demands. Passier saddles with a K-saddle tree are available in five sizes from 16" to 18".

PS Tree

The PS-saddle tree is handmade by Passier saddlemakers in Langenhagen in more than 1,200 steps from wood and leather materials. Saddle models with PS-saddle trees are available in seven different sizes: from 16" to 19".

Color

Passier saddles are available in Black, Havana, and Teak.

Important to know: Genuine leather is a natural product. This means that each leather hide can accept a dye differently. Therefore, different color nuances within one color are possible. These give Passier saddles, bridles, and accessories their unmistakable, natural, and elegant look.

For all colors, the greatest possible colorfastness and color stability are paramount. With proper care, the colors are guaranteed to remain constant.

Passier offers the following colors:

• Black
• Havana (dark brown)
• Teak (light brown)

Leather Finish

Leather is a high-quality natural product. At Passier, great importance is attached to the highest quality of raw materials. Therefore, only the best European leather is used in Passier products. After a strict quality control, the ideal cut is chosen from each leather hide to ensure the highest quality of the products. Small visible scars, insect bites, or neck folds emphasize the naturalness and sustainability of the quality leathers used. With good care, Passier products have a very long lifespan and therefore often still look natural and high-quality even after decades.

Cowhide Leather

This high-quality saddle flap leather is used for all saddles with a K-saddle tree. It is a very durable and long-lasting leather that has been used at Passier for over ten years in consistently high quality. Cowhide leather is available in Black, Havana, and Teak.

Natural-Grip Leather (NGL)

Natural-Grip leather is a very soft saddle flap leather with excellent grip. It is tanned with natural waxes and valuable vegetable and animal oils and is used on all Passier saddles with a PS-saddle tree without doubling. Natural-Grip leather is available in Black and Havana. For an additional charge, it is also available for saddles with a K-saddle tree,

Selloil Leather

Selloil leather is characterized by its particular softness and high grip. It is used as seat, knee roll, and panel leather. The special non-slip property gives riders good support and ensures a comfortable and secure fit of the saddle on the horse's back. Selloil leather is available in Black, Havana, and Teak.

DeLuxe Doubling

The extra-soft DeLuxe doubling ensures a particularly soft riding experience. The secret: A soft 2 mm foam rubber insert is located between the saddle flap and the soft Selloil upper leather. The result is unique: maximum grip combined with the highest comfort!

Seat Size

The following seat sizes are available from Passier:

Seat Sizes for K-Tree

Passier saddles with K-saddle trees are available in five sizes from 16" to 18".

• 16''
• 16.5''

• 17.5''
• 18''

Gullet Shape

Standard Gullet

The gullet can be adjusted in width, even multiple times! Available in K-tree and PS-tree.

Wider Gullet

The wider gullet is used for horses with high, wide withers and simplifies saddle fitting. Available for saddles with PS-saddle trees.

frt-System®

The frt-System® with anatomically shaped gullet bars allows the horse's shoulder free movement. Available for saddles with PS-saddle trees.

Tree Width

If you buy a Passier saddle from a specialist dealer, it should always have the gullet width that is optimal for your horse. Most Passier saddles are delivered with a gullet width of 27.5 cm, so we can speak of a "standard size" here. However, saddles with a gullet width of 26.5 cm, i.e., slightly narrower than the standard, with a gullet width of 28.5 cm, i.e., slightly wider than the standard, and with a gullet width of 29.5 cm, i.e., extra wide, are also common. In addition, the adjustable gullet of Passier saddles can be adjusted by a specialist in 0.5 cm increments to all widths from 23.5 cm to 32.0 cm. This guarantees the optimal width for every pony or horse! Important: Passier gullet widths are not comparable to those of other manufacturers, as Passier's gullet bars are shorter for particularly great shoulder and freedom of movement for the horse.

• Available gullet widths: 23.5 to 32
• Standard at 27.5

Panel Options

Standard Panels

Passier saddle panels are filled with synthetic wool, which has particular advantages: It does not absorb moisture and is permanently elastic and soft in use, it can be processed without lumps or knots, and it has a very high resilience. This makes Passier panels particularly elastic and horse-friendly.

"The Lifter" Panels

The optimal saddle panels for horses with high withers and a deep back (sloping from croup to back), where more panel height is required in the rear area. The "The Lifter" saddle panels, due to their short, round shape, quickly leave the horse's back at the rear and thus cannot press.

Front Panel Wedge

A front panel wedge allows for more padding volume in the front area of the saddle. The use of a front panel wedge is therefore particularly suitable for horses with hollows, as these can be compensated for very well.

Panel Height

Flat, medium, high panel wedge - The rear panel wedge gives the saddle panel an enlarged contact surface and a very good fit, making subsequent adjustments easier. Starting from the medium panel wedge height, a flat panel wedge is approx. 1 cm flatter, a high panel wedge approx. 1 cm higher.

Saddle Tree Options

Queen-Special Solution

The special cut-out at the front in the pubic area under the soft seat mattress provides lasting pressure relief and a heavenly soft seating experience. Available for all saddles with a PS-saddle tree.

Cantle opened 15° wider

This cantle offers more space and freedom of movement in the saddle, with the same seat size. This means that for horses with short backs, a whole seat size smaller can be chosen! Available for all dressage saddles with a PS-saddle tree.

Girth Strapping

Passier offers different girthing systems. Generally: Every girthing system is available for every saddle. Attaching an additional girth strap for conversion to a point strap is possible at any time at no extra charge. An additional third strap for dressage saddles and an additional point strap for jumping saddles are available for an extra charge.

For Dressage Saddles

• 2 x 70 cm straps incl. point strap
• Point strap, rear V-girthing
• Straight point strap, loop on panel base
• W-girthing
• Straight girthing

For Jumping Saddles

• 3 short straps
• optional additional point strap

Thigh Blocks

Thigh blocks provide more safety and stability in the saddle and give riders good support. There is a particularly large variety of Passier thigh blocks, which differ depending on the saddle model.

Custom-made products are also available for an additional charge. It is possible, upon request, to equip all saddle models with velcro thigh blocks.

In the configurator, you can choose between the standard thigh block for the saddle model (see pictures) and an individual thigh block. If you choose an individual thigh block, we will contact you after ordering for the details.

Almost all thigh blocks can also be ordered as velcro thigh blocks for an additional charge.
