SINce1867. Whether jumping, eventing or dressage: from the beginning

Passier fulfils highest demands in professional competition – although, or perhaps because, these demands constantly increase. This is why Passier is a long-term partner of many successful riders in all disciplines all over the world – and first choice of an increasing number of leisure riders, who want top quality for themselves as well as their horse.

G. Passier & Sohn is now in its 146th year. Convincing

evidence that top quality succeeds. The fact that

Passier products sell just as well today as they did in

the 19th century is certainly also due to the fact that

Passier is always up-to-date – without ever losing sight

of its fundamental values. Anyone who purchases a

product from G. Passier & Sohn receives a product

made by master craftsmen, which has been subjected

to stringent quality controls and therefore complies

with highest quality standards.

In every Passier product optimum quality and com-fort – for horse and rider – are ultimate priorities! So Passier saddles, bridles and accessories always en-sure a unique riding expe-rience. The Passier feeling.

Marcus Ehning, German Cham-pion, European Team Champion, World Cup Winner and Team Olympic Winner, is an established personality in international equestrian sport. His successes in the show jumping ring are always accompanied by Passier. Because all saddles, brid-les, breastplates, girths etc., which are used by Marcus Ehning, have been deve-loped and refi-ned by Passier in close collabo-ration with him. Every day they show anew how perfectly Passier products support horse and rider even in top level sport.

A further reason for the success based on tradition are

numerous partnerships with successful personalities from

equestrian sport all over the world. They collaborate

with Passier – some of them over a period of several

decades – and invest their know-how and experience in

the development of new products as well as their further

refinement. In this way they ensure that products from

G. Passier & Sohn always set new benchmarks in horse-

friendliness, craftsmanship, appearance, standards and

quality. Because Passier is “The spirit of riding. Since 1867.”

AlWAyS A huge jumP AheAda strong team for strong products

Passier relies on the know-how of experienced professionals. Particularly in show jumping where saddles, bridles and accessories must

be 100% reliable. Thus Otto Becker, Team Olympic Gold Medalist, Winner of the Grand Prix of Aachen, Winner of the Show Jumping

Riders’ World Cup Final, several times German Champion and current Trainer of the German Show Jumping Cadre, has been placing his

confidence in Passier for over 30 years now. Further competent partners, in addition to Otto Becker and Marcus Ehning, are several times

Nations‘ Cup and Championship Winner Franz-Josef “Peppi” Dahlmann and Holger Wulschner as well as Belgian Junior Showjumping

Champion and Grand Prix Winner Jody Bosteels.

The saddle which the professionals trust: With the large knee inserts it provides perfect contact to the horse. The elegant, slim snaffle with decorative stitching is also used by Peppi Dahlmann.

PHOEnIx JuMPInG SaDDlEanD SnaFFlE

The saddle is particularly slip-proof and offers excellent sitting comfort which is certainly why it is the first choice of Peppi Dahlmann, Holger Wulschner and Jody Bosteels. The snaffle is absolutely horse-friendly as a result of its broad contact area for better pressure distríbution in the poll area.

MarCuS EHnInG SaDDlE GIrTH

Particularly popular in the show jum-ping ring: The anatomically shaped leather saddle girth convinces by numerous extras such as a roller buckle with pin under the Velcro flap.

for high-flyers . . .

Passier cross-country and all-purpose saddles are designed to cope with every situation,

which is why they are the first choice of so many professionals. The best example of an

extremely successful rider who has been placing her confidence in Passier for many years

now, is Ingrid Klimke. The two-times Team Gold Medal Winner at the Olympic Games

also supports Passier in further development of the saddles. Kai Rüder, World Champion

of 7-year horses in eventing, has also been placing his confidence for many years in

saddles, bridles and accessories by Passier, just as the successful English rider Ruth Edge,

Young Rider National Champion and Winner of Luhmühlen CCI*****. The fact that Passier

is also well established amongst the next generation of cross-country riders is demonstra-

ted by young eventing rider and German Young Riders‘ Champion Julia Krajewski.

INSIde,OutSIde,Perfect!

The new rug not only sits perfectly, it also provides optimum all-round protection against dampness and cold with its extra-long side pieces and tail flap! The removable hind-leg straps and the integrated, elas-tic tail strap prevent the rug from slipping. The movement gussets at the front ensure good freedom of movement and the adjustable front buckle arrangement provides for optimum distribution of pressure.

stable- and turnout rug

Perfect fit – waterproof – breathable! The smooth polyester inner lining means

the rug adapts perfectly to the horse‘s sequence of movement and the fabric‘s

good sliding qualities effectively avoids any rubbing in the shoulder area. The

wadding lining is guaranteed to remain evenly distributed over the rug, because

the inner lining is quilted together with the wadding material. The rug is available

either with 150 g or 300 g filling – depending on your horse‘s requirements!

The secret: The “open-pore” underside

dry Off quIcker tImeS fOur!breathable saddle cloths

With their diamond quilting, coat of arms and gold-colored cord border, the saddle

cloths not only look particularly good – they are also extremely comfortable for your

horse. The reason: The finely woven outer material is neatly quilted with a special

“open-pore” under material. This special material combination is especially breath-

able and effectively reduces pent-up heat and dampness.

The effect is as simple as it is beneficial: The horse dries more quickly after riding!

Further plus points in favour of the new saddle cloths are the very good fit, the

user-friendly girth loop with a practical Velcro fastening and the foam inserts with

wadding which make the saddle cloths more stable. The saddle cloths are washable

at 30°C. Washing does not restrict the breathability.The new breathable saddle cloths with coat of arms are available in dressage and jumping versions and in the colors Passier Blue and White.

The Sirius Dressage Saddle, here in the color Havana, is not only a real

eye-catcher in the dressage arena – it also sets new standards in horse-

friendliness! As the first saddle in the world with frt-System® it effectively

ensures that the horse‘s shoulder can rotate completely freely without

any disturbance to the sequence of movement. Further highlights are the

comfortable seat, the elegant patent leather trim, the variable selection of

Velcro supports, freedom panels and W-girth arrangement.

The Compact Dressage Saddle combines a short contact surface for the horse with a significantly larger and more comfortable seat for the rider. Naturally, with its freedom panels and the W-girth arrangement for a particularly secure saddle position, the Compact saddle also sets new standards as far as horse-friendliness is concerned.
