Dressage Saddle Optimum by Passier®

The Passier® Optimum is an exclusive, especially horse-friendly dressage saddle, and a longtime choice of professional riders and serious amateurs alike.

Its advantageous cut places the rider in a balanced, upright seat, while the narrow twist allows close, sensitive contact with the horse. These are the qualities that have made the Optimum a lasting favorite.

It is built around the horse’s comfort:

• Freedom panels give the withers room to move
• The point billet arrangement keeps the saddle stable and secure
• An adjustable gullet plate maintains fit as your horse changes shape over time

Natural Grip leather; seat, knee inserts, and panels in Selloil leather.

Please note — Configurable versus Custom Saddle
The configurable saddle (online order) is available only in the options and combinations shown above. A custom saddle — created through our proprietary Virtual Saddle Fitting process — offers many more options, including decorative details, color combinations, and additional gullet-plate configurations.

Saddle Size Adjustments
All Passier® saddle trees are adjustable by a professional Passier® fitter. To adjust your configured saddle after you receive it, please contact your Passier® fitter.

Return Policy
Configured saddles are made to order and are not returnable or refundable. If your circumstances change, we may be able to resell your new, unused saddle on commission on your behalf — this is the only accommodation we can offer. By ordering a configurable saddle, you consent to this policy.

Delivery Times
Delivery for configured, made-to-order Passier® saddles is approximately 8–10 weeks from the order date. By purchasing, you accept that this time may occasionally extend by up to 4 weeks.
