Passier Paxton All-Purpose Saddle Configurator

Passier Paxton All-Purpose Saddle

The Paxton is an ideal all-purpose saddle for beginners. Thanks to its comfortable seat depth and versatile cut with a focus on dressage, this saddle is perfect for all uses. The knee rolls provide good support and ensure great freedom of movement for riders.

The Paxton is available in various design variations with sparkling Premium Crystals on the cantle. The seat, knee area, and panels are made of high-quality European cowhide leather, while the saddle tree is made of synthetic material. The knee rolls and saddle panel ensure optimal wither clearance.

Passier Saddle Configurator

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

Saddle Tree

First: 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.

Thanks to their high flexibility in the longitudinal axis, both saddle trees can move with the horse 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 adapted to any horse at a later date. The short gullet plate arms ensure that the horse's shoulder has particular freedom of movement. Thus, both saddle trees guarantee 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 with normal treatment and is therefore capable of meeting 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 handcrafted by Passier master saddlers in Langenhagen in over 1,200 steps from wood and leather materials. Saddle models with a PS-saddle tree 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 absorb a dye differently. Therefore, different color nuances within one color are possible. These give Passier saddles, bridles, and accessories their unique, 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 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 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. It is also available for saddles with a K-saddle tree at an extra charge,

Selloil Leather

Selloil leather is characterized by its particular softness and high grip. It is used for the seat, knee area, and panels. The special slip resistance 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 with maximum comfort!

 

Seat Size

The following seat sizes are available at Passier:

Seat Sizes for K-Tree

Gullet Plate Shape

Standard Gullet Plate

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

 

Wider Gullet Plate

The wider gullet plate is used for horses with a high, wide wither 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 freedom of movement. Available for saddles with a PS-saddle tree.

 

Gullet Width

If 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 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 set 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 with those of other manufacturers, as Passier's gullet plate arms are shorter for particularly large 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 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 at the back, "The Lifter" saddle panel quickly leaves the horse's back 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 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, making subsequent adjustments easier to implement. 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 recess 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 a short back, a whole seat size smaller can be chosen! 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. The attachment of an additional webbing strap for conversion to a point billet is possible at any time without extra charge. An additional third billet for dressage saddles and an additional point billet for jumping saddles are available at an extra charge.

For Dressage Saddles

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

 

For Jumping Saddles

• 3 short billets
• optional additional point billet

 

Thigh Blocks

Thigh blocks provide more security and stability in the saddle and give riders good support. There is a particularly wide variety of Passier thigh 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 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 the order for the details.

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