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.
Riveting bolts are used instead of tubular rivets to ensure optimum strength and longevity. Another feature is the relatively short gullet plate sides which result in greater freedom for the shoulders. 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. Gullet PlateA wrought chrome-vanadium alloy is used for the Passier gullet plate. This means that it is impossible for a Passier stirrup bar to break or tear out of the saddle tree under normal circumstances. Both stirrup bars have extremely high breakage and tear-out strengths of far more than 600 Nm. The stirrup bar of the PS saddle tree is made of a high-quality wrought bronze alloy. Instead, spring band steel is used which, through after-treatment, takes on a shape which is optimum for the saddle.
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. The Passier metal bands stabilize the saddle tree and also provide the necessary flexibility. 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. The models with the PS saddle tree are available in up to seven different sizes from 16" to 19". In order to achieve the high degree of flexibility, several bamboo strips are worked into the saddle tree.
More than 1,200 steps are necessary to produce it. 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. The heart of a saddle is the saddle tree.
