Passier Optimum Mono Dressage Saddle Configurator

Passier Optimum Mono Dressage Saddle

The Optimum Mono Dressage Saddle is a special variation of the popular Optimum Dressage Saddle: As a mono-flap saddle, it ensures that riders sit very close to the horse, experience an even more intense riding feeling, and have even more influence.

The attached thigh blocks are available in two versions and make it particularly easy for riders to keep their legs in the correct position without feeling restricted. Thanks to the new "The Lifter" saddle panel, the saddle is very horse-friendly and fits perfectly on the horse's back, even for horses with high withers.

The saddle is available with sparkling Premium Crystals and design variations on the cantle. The Natural-Grip leather for the seat, knee rolls, and panels provides good grip. The PS saddle tree and the deep seat (wider at the back) guarantee an optimal fit. The attached thigh blocks are available as mono and mono 2 blocks. Two girth straps, including point straps, allow for individual adjustment to the horse.

With the Passier Optimum Mono Dressage Saddle, you can enjoy an even more intense riding experience while saddling your horse in a horse-friendly and comfortable way.

Passier Saddle Configurator

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

Saddle Tree

First off: You cannot choose the saddle tree for every saddle, as this depends on the saddle model. The saddle tree is the heart of every saddle. Its development and further development are therefore the focus of 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 follow the horse even in turns – the spine remains free. The narrow waist of the saddle trees allows riders to sit very deeply in the saddle. The adjustable gullet plates ensure that Passier saddles can also be subsequently adapted to any horse. The short gullet plate branches ensure that the horse's shoulder has particularly free movement. Thus, both saddle trees are guarantors for the greatest 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 treatment and thus meets the highest demands. Passier saddles with K-saddle tree are available in five sizes from 16" to 18".

PS Tree

The PS saddle tree is handcrafted by Passier saddlers in Langenhagen in over 1,200 steps from wood and leather. Saddle models with a PS saddle tree are available in seven different sizes: from 16" to 19".

Color

Passier saddles are available in black, havanna, and teak.

Important to know: Real leather is a natural product. This means that each hide can absorb 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, it is ensured that the colors remain constant.

Passier offers the following colors:

• black
• Havanna (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 strict quality control, the ideal cut is selected from each hide to ensure the highest quality of the products. Small visible scars, insect bites, or even neck wrinkles 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 by Passier in consistently high quality for over ten years. Cowhide leather is available in black, havanna, 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 in all Passier saddles with a PS saddle tree without doubling. Natural-Grip leather is available in black and havanna. It is also available for saddles with a K-saddle tree at an extra charge.

Selloil Leather

Selloil leather is characterized by its special softness combined with high grip. It is used as seat, knee roll, and panel leather. Its special anti-slip properties give riders good hold and ensure a comfortable and secure saddle fit on the horse's back. Selloil leather is available in black, havanna, and teak.

DeLuxe Doubling

The extra-soft DeLuxe doubling ensures a particularly soft riding feeling. 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 combined 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 width of the gullet plate can be changed, even multiple times! Available in K-tree and PS tree.

Widened Gullet Plate

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

frt-System®

The frt-System® with anatomically shaped gullet plate branches allows the horse's shoulder free movement. Available for saddles with 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, so this can be considered a "standard size." However, saddles with a gullet plate width of 26.5 cm (slightly narrower than standard), 28.5 cm (slightly wider than standard), and 29.5 cm (extra wide) are also common. Furthermore, 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 branches 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 remains permanently elastic and soft in use, it can be processed without lumps or knotting, and it has a very high recovery force. 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 to the back) where more panel height is required in the rear area. Due to its short, round shape, "The Lifter" saddle panel quickly leaves the horse's back at the rear and therefore 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 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 approx. 1 cm higher.

Saddle Tree Options

Queen-Special Solution

The special cut-out in the front perineal 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 15° Wider Open

This cantle offers more space and freedom of movement in the saddle, with the same seat size. This means that for horses with a short back, you can choose a seat size one size smaller! Available for all dressage saddles with a PS saddle tree.

Girthing

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

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 wide variety of Passier blocks, which differ depending on the saddle model.

Custom-made products are also available at an extra charge. On request, all saddle models can be equipped 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 your order for the details.

Almost all blocks can also be ordered as Velcro blocks at an extra charge.
