More space is created to the right and left of the horse’s withers, thanks to the lowering of the channel seam by 2 cm (3/4”).
The panels are available for all newly made Passier saddles. As a result of the broader contact surface the saddle fits the horse‚Äôs back perfectly. The special way in which they are made means wither contact will be sustainably avoided. These saddle panels with optimized wither clearance developed by Passier are excellently suited to horses with wide or particularly sensitive withers. Another great feature is the relatively short gullet plate sides, resulting in greater freedom for the horse‚Äôs shoulders. The Passier gullet plate has the considerable advantage in that the gullet plate is very stable, yet the width can easily be adjusted ‚Äì a number of times, if necessary. From the spring band steel, that is strong and flexible, used due to it‚Äôs ability to produce the optimum shape for the saddle, to the Stirrup Bars that exceed the normal strength limits ( 600 Nm) and therefore make it impossible for a Passier stirrup bar to break or tear out of the saddle tree under normal circumstances, all contribute to a saddle that will last and perform extemely well. The PS saddle tree has been continuously developed for over 50 years utilising the best materials to make every aspect of the saddle the best it can possibly be, delivering a saddle that the Passier Saddle Masters are proud of. The heart of a saddle is the saddle tree. Leather Seat and knee inserts: Jupa leatherįeatures PS saddle tree, deep seat, thicker thigh supports, W-girth arrangement, freedom panels The panels give the horse greater freedom for the withers and the new W-girth arrangement ensures that the saddle remains firmly in place: whilst pressure is taken off the horse¬¥s shoulder at the front, at the back the strap exerts just the right pressure in precisely the area where the greatest hold is required. Naturally the Compact also sets new standards regarding horse-friendliness. The saddle combines a short contact surface for the horse with a significantly larger and more comfortable seat for the rider.
However: the era of compromise has ended because Passier has succeeded in making a big break-through with the Compact Dressage Saddle. But such a small seat area was often problematic for the rider. Invented by Passier: the perfect saddle for horses with a short back – and for their riders! Until now riders of compact horses always had to select a small seat size to avoid saddle pressure on the horse´s loins.
