Passier Dressage Saddle Grand Prix Special (GPS) Configurator

Passier Saddle Configurator

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

Saddle Tree

Firstly: 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 central to 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 gullet plates ensure that Passier saddles can be subsequently adapted to every horse. The short gullet plate arms ensure that the horse's shoulder is particularly free in its movement. Thus, both saddle trees guarantee maximum horse-friendliness.

There are basically 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 use and thus meets the highest demands. Passier saddles with K-saddle trees are available in five sizes from 16" to 18".

PS Tree

The PS saddle tree is handcrafted by Passier saddlers in Langenhagen in more than 1,200 steps from wood and leather. 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: Real leather is a natural product. This means that each leather hide can accept dye differently. Therefore, different color nuances within one color are possible. These give Passier saddles, bridles, and accessories their distinctive, natural, and elegant look.

For all colors, the greatest possible color fastness and color stability are paramount. With proper care, it is ensured that the colors 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 placed on 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 selected 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. Passier products have a very long lifespan with good care and 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. It is also available for saddles with a K-saddle tree at an additional cost,

Selloil Leather

Selloil leather is characterized by its special softness and high grip. It is used for the seat, knee rolls, and panels. Its special non-slip properties give riders good hold and ensure 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 top leather. The result is unique: maximum grip with the highest comfort!

Seat Size

The following seat sizes are available from Passier:

Seat Sizes for K-Tree

Gullet Plate Shape

Normal Gullet Plate

The gullet plate can be changed in width, even multiple times! Available for K-tree and PS-tree saddles.

Wider Gullet Plate

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

frt-System®

The frt-System® with anatomically shaped gullet plate arms allows the horse's shoulder free movement. Available for saddles with a PS-saddle tree.

Gullet Width

When you buy a Passier saddle from a specialist dealer, it should always have the gullet plate width that is optimal for your horse. Most Passier saddles are delivered with a gullet plate width of 27.5 cm, which can therefore be considered a "standard size". However, saddles with a gullet plate width of 26.5 cm, i.e. slightly narrower than standard, with a gullet plate width of 28.5 cm, i.e. slightly wider than standard, and with a gullet plate width of 29.5 cm, i.e. extra wide, are also common. In addition, the adjustable gullet plate 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 plate widths are not comparable to those of other manufacturers, as Passier's gullet plate arms 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 special advantages: It does not absorb moisture and is permanently elastic and soft in use, it can be processed without lumps and knots, and it has a very high resilience. This makes Passier panels particularly elastic and horse-friendly.

"The Lifter" Panels

The optimal saddle panel for horses with high withers and a deep back (sloping from the croup into the back), where more panel height is required in the rear area. Due to its short, round shape, "The Lifter" saddle panel quickly lifts off the horse's back at the rear and therefore cannot pinch.

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 - Due to the rear panel wedge, the saddle panel has an enlarged contact surface and a very good fit, and subsequent adjustments can be made more easily. Starting from the medium panel wedge height, a flat panel wedge is approx. 1 cm flatter, a high panel wedge is approx. 1 cm higher.

Saddle Tree Options

Queen-Special Solution

The special recess in the front pubic area under the soft seat ensures sustained 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. Thus, for horses with a short back, a whole seat size smaller can be chosen! Available for all dressage saddles with a PS saddle tree.

Girth System

Passier offers different girthing systems. In general: Every girthing system is available for every saddle. Attaching an additional girth strap to convert to a point strap is possible at any time without additional cost. An additional third strap for dressage saddles and an additional point strap for jumping saddles are available at an additional cost.

For Dressage Saddles

• 2 x 70 cm straps including point strap
• Point strap, V-girthing at the back
• Straight point strap, loop on panel base
• W-girthing
• Straight girthing

For Jumping Saddles

• 3 short straps
• optional additional point strap

Blocks

Blocks provide more security and stability in the saddle and give riders good hold. There is a particularly large variety of Passier blocks, which differ depending on the saddle model.

Custom-made blocks are also available at an additional cost. On request, it is possible to equip all saddle models with velcro blocks.

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

Almost all blocks can also be ordered as velcro blocks at an additional cost.
