PS Saddle Tree |
|
|
The heart of a saddle is the saddle tree. The PS saddle tree was developed 50 years ago by Passier, and has been continuously produced since then by our own saddle masters in Langenhagen. More than 1,200 steps are necessary to produce it. The main materials are wood and leather. In order to achieve the high degree of flexibility, several bamboo strips are worked into the saddle tree. The models with the PS saddle tree are available in up to seven different sizes from 16" to 19". As every saddle is made-to-measure, it is possible for Passier to produce a saddle seat in one size in combination with saddle flaps in another size.
Metal Bands
The Passier metal bands stabilize the saddle tree and also provide the necessary flexibility. Sheet metal is purposely not used in Passier metal bands so as not to injure the fibers of the steel and to thus provide the greatest possible stability. Instead, spring band steel is used which, through after-treatment, takes on a shape which is optimum for the saddle.
Stirrup Bar
The stirrup bar of the PS saddle tree is made of a high-quality wrought bronze alloy. Both stirrup bars have extremely high breakage and tear-out strengths of far more than 600 Nm. This means that it is impossible for a Passier stirrup bar to break or tear out of the saddle tree under normal circumstances.
Gullet PlateA wrought chrome-vanadium alloy is used for the Passier gullet plate. This has the considerable advantage that on the one hand, the finished gullet plate is very stable, on the other hand however, the width can easily be adjusted again afterwards – a number of times, if necessary. Another feature is the relatively short gullet plate sides which result in greater freedom for the shoulders. Riveting bolts are used instead of tubular rivets to ensure optimum strength and longevity.
Stretch Joint
The stretch joint on the PS saddle tree makes it possible to adjust the materials connected to the gullet plate to a new width in case the gullet plate is changed. The wood and the especially strong and fully tanned sole leather simply "wander" with the gullet plate.

Synthetic Saddle Tree
|
|
The Passier synthetic saddle tree is made of an elastomere which was tested under space conditions. Its development and further refinement are a core element of Passier research. A saddle tree made of this synthetic material cannot break under normal conditions and can therefore respond successfully to the highest demands. Passier saddles with the synthetic saddle tree are available in sizes from 15.5" to 18", with a ten-year warranty on the saddle tree. As every saddle with a synthetic saddle tree is a unique product from a master saddler's hand made in Germany, it is possible to combine a saddle in one size with saddle flaps in another size.
Metal Bands
The very stable Passier metal band made of spring band steel provides highest stability as well as flexibility of the synthetic saddle tree.
Stirrup Bar
The stirrup bar of the Passier synthetic saddle tree is made of stainless steel. As the rider's safety comes first, this stainless steel bar also convinces through its extreme resistance to breakage and tearing with a strength of well over 600 Nm. This means that it is impossible for a Passier stirrup bar to break or tear out of the saddle tree under normal circumstances.
Gullet Plate
A wrought chrome-vanadium alloy is used for the Passier gullet plate which makes it extremely stable and has the considerable advantage that the width can always be adjusted again subsequently by an expert. This is why Passier saddles will always fit any horse's back perfectly – and can even be adjusted a number of times, if necessary. A further feature of the Passier gullet plate is the relatively short gullet plate sides which result in greater freedom for the shoulders and mean the horse can move better. In order to ensure optimum sturdiness and longevity riveting bolts are also used for the synthetic saddle tree.
Elastic Material
There is no stretch joint on the synthetic saddle tree since the synthetic materials used are so elastic that the material can adjust without any joint. This is how the synthetic saddle tree creates the perfect conditions for an optimum seat. On any horse.
SaddlesThe Synthetic Saddle Tree is used in the following saddles:
Corona II Dressage Saddle, Corona Dressage Saddle, abs Dressage Saddle, abs Pony Dressage Saddle, Young Star Young Generation Dressage Saddle, Marcus Ehning Jumping Saddle, Avior Jumping Saddle, Young Winner F Young Generation Jumping Saddle, Young Winner Young Generation Jumping Saddle and Paxton All-Purpose Saddle.

PS Saddle Tree with frt-System®
Scientific studies have produced evidence that when the horse’s foreleg touches the ground, the shoulder blade cartilage protrudes further outwards due to the contraction of the muscles behind it, which means more space is required.
This is where the frt-System® (free-rotation-tree-System) comes in: The anatomically formed gullet plate bars of the PS Saddle Tree prevent contact with the shoulder blade cartilage during movement. The horse’s shoulder can therefore move completely freely. Freedom is created precisely where it is required, and the horse can move completely freely in all gaits. The result: more fun in training – more success in the dressage arena.
Furthermore the PS Saddle Tree with frt-System® naturally convinces with all the advantages of the exclusive PS Saddle Tree.
