Customer Reviews for Passier Optimum Dressage Saddle

Passier Optimum Dressage Saddle

The Passier Optimum, built to Passier?s legendary standards features the PS Baum? tree (wood laminate reinforced with bamboo), has tremendous flexibility for both the rider?s feel and horses? comfort. The ?short pointed? tree offers increased shoulder freedom. The tree for this model is wider at the back creating a roomier, extra deep, softly padded seat. It features standard billeting system, thick thigh supports, a generous flap length and the wool flocked panel.

I spent a long time searching for a saddle that made both my horse and me happy and the Optimum is the only one I found within my budget. My horse seems to love it due to the wide channel, good wither clearance, soft, squishy panels, great billet placement, and shoulder freedom. He is opinionated about saddles and in this one he gets round and relaxed very quickly. I love it because of its deep, soft seat that provides security but doesn't lock me in, narrow twist, and small/medium leg support. It is very adjustable and with a few alterations by a saddle fitter it's perfect. The quality of this saddle is also amazing. Mine is a few years old and still looks new.

For me the passier optimum was not that comfortable. I can say the horse did well in the saddle, so it was a good fit. I was delighted to order and receive the saddle withiin 10 days. It waas easy to send it back,and shipping was paid for by smart pack!

The flaps on this saddle run long which is perfect for long legged riders like myself. A high quality, comfortable saddle. It has a narrower twist and the seat feels deep to me. I'm always "glued" right into position.
