THE BIG BRIDLE-SPECIAL

THESPIRIT OFRIDING. SINCE1867.

Saddles, bridles & acces-

sories by the hands of a

master – this is a standard

requirement at G. Passier &

Sohn. Since 1867. Meanwhile

Passier saddles made in Ger-

many are popular throughout

the world and well-known

for their excellent craftsman-

ship. Just like the saddles,

the snaffles and double

bridles by G. Passier & Sohn

stand for impeccable quality

and horse-friendliness. Even

the bridle material is of

truly unique quality: Because

exclusively finest Passier

bridle leather is used. Utmost

care and perfection are also

a priority in connection with

the stitching, and meticulous

quality control is an integral

part of the procedure. There-

fore every Passier snaffle

and every Passier double

bridle is, and always will be,

a unique creation. Naturally

these high standards apply

to all Passier accessories such

as breastplates, saddle girths

etc. Anyone who decides

in favor of a Passier product,

always decides in favor of

top quality from the hands of

a master.

From the very beginning, snaffles and double bri-dles are made to match the quality saddles of G. Passier & Sohn. Passier bri-dles have been produced in this way for 147 years.

Before a saddle, snaffle, double bridle or any other accessories produced by G. Passier & Sohn are pre-sented to the public and launched on the market, they are always tested over many weeks and consist-ently improved. Finished Passier products, therefore, are the result of many months of optimization work. Because only the best is good enough for Passier!

MIZAR SNAFFLE

The new radiantly attractive Mizar Snaffle convinces at first sight with its light blue Swarovski strass crystals set in shiny patent leather, with two rows on the browband and two rows on the Passier Cave-son Special. The fittings are available in a choice of stainless steel, brass or burnished. The Mizar Snaffle is available in the colors Black and Havana in cob size or full size.

BEAUTIFULLY ROUNDTHE FINE NEPTUNE AND BREMEN SNAFFLES

A round snaffle is the ultimate expression of elegance and

beauty – because its workmanship is especially elaborate! This is

why round snaffles naturally have their price. Passier offers two round

models: The Neptune Snaffle of the Basic Line, which convinces

through its optimum value for money offer (shown on horse to the

left), and the Bremen Snaffle from the Exclusive Line where every bri-

dle is an individual piece made-to-measure with numerous individual

options (shown at the bottom). Naturally both snaffles are made of

finest Passier bridle leather and are equipped with matching web

reins with leather hand grips, stops and round fronts.

CAVESON SPECIAL

Noseband width and color of the noseband padding can be individually selected.

ROUND STRAPS

With the Exclusive Line snaffles all straps are round and fastened on top of the head piece.

FINE BROWBAND

The curved browband is either equipped with sparkling strass crystals or round.

SOFT PADDING

The horse-friendly, soft head piece lining is detachable.

ADJUSTMENT

With a choice of buckles or hook studs as shown here.

BREMEN SNAFFLE

JUPITER SNAFFLE

The flat hook stud style Jupiter Snaffle from Passier's Basic Line

has a very special extra feature: The head strap is positioned on

top of the softly lined head piece. As a consequence the snaffle

is extremely comfortable for the horse because there is no more

pressing on its poll. The snaffle has a softly lined flash noseband

and, in addition to its special horse-comfort workmanship, also

convinces by its elegant appearance. Another special eye-catcher

is the curved strass crystal browband.

The horse-friendly Jupiter Snaffle in Black with brass

fittings in pony size.

In order to avoid pressure on the horse's poll, the head strap is on top of the padded head piece making it espe-cially easy on the horse.

THREE TOP LEVEL SNAFFLES

GEMINI SNAFFLE

The flat hook stud style Gemini Snaffle from Passier's Basic Line is

particularly versatile. As it is available in three different designs of

the Passier Caveson Special: 1. with bit ring recess, which makes

sure that even the most sensitive of horses will not experience any

pinching or twinging at the mouth, 2. with longer flash strap loop,

so the strap is easier on the horse’s mouth and 3. with shiny patent

leather trim. The reins even come in four choices: 1. narrow web

with leather hand grips and stops, 2. laced reins, 3. rubber reins

and 4. Eventa Rein® rubber reins. The Gemini Snaffle is available

in all versions also with plain, padded browband as the Aries

Snaffle.

This image shows the variable Gemini Snaffle in Black with Passier Caveson Special with bit ring recess and flash strap with stainless steel fittings in full size.

APOLLO SNAFFLE

This exquisite snaffle of Passier's Basic Line with its elegant shiny nose strap of finest patent leather guarantees a perfect appearance. To match this, it has an elegant waved browband with strass crystals – also made of patent leather. The Passier Caveson Special and head piece are softly lined. The noseband head strap is firmly attached to the head piece of the snaffle which effectively reduces pressure on the horse's poll. This image shows the Apollo Snaffle in Havana with stainless steel fittings in full size. Naturally it is also available in Black, with brass fittings and in pony size, cob size and over size.

REAL HIGHLIGHTS FOR EVERY BRIDLE!

Every bridle becomes an absolute eye-catcher with an individual browband!

The glitter highlights are especially effective on the variable hook stud style

Scorpius and Aquarius Snaffles of the Basic Line.

Both snaffles are convincing by their extreme horse-friendliness. The head piece

is especially softly lined, and the noseband head strap is firmly attached to the

head piece of the snaffle which effectively reduces pressure on the horse's poll.

The original Scorpius Snaffle convinces by its browband with strass crystals, the

Aquarius Snaffle has a plain, softly padded browband. Both snaffles are extremely

variable and available with a choice of four different nosebands: 1. Passier Cave-

son Special with flash strap of bridle leather or 2. with patent leather trim, 3. flash

noseband or 4. dropped noseband. The reins are also available in four different

versions: 1. narrow web bridle reins with leather hand grips and stops, 2. laced

reins, 3. rubber reins or 4. Eventa Rein® rubber reins. The perfect snaffle – as indi-

vidual as desired! And then even a glittery browband into the bargain …

the poll area of the horse. The Phoenix Breastplate is meticulously stitched and

beautifully embossed. Both in Teak with brass fittings.

FANTASTIC ELASTIC!FORTUNA SNAFFLE AND DOUBLE BRIDLE

The flat hook stud style bridles from Passier's Basic Line are particu-

larly horse-friendly. Due to the optically concealed elastic inserts

the pressure on the horse’s poll is effectively reduced and the

horse’s chewing activity clearly encouraged. Tongue problems can

be largely avoided and riding in contact is much more pleasant on

the sensitive horse’s mouth – even in the case of beginners. The

exclusive Fortuna Snaffle is available with a choice of four different

nosebands and narrow web bridle reins with leather hand grips.

The Fortuna Double Bridle is equipped with a soft Passier Caveson

Special and two pairs of smooth leather reins, the snaffle reins are

rubberized on one side.

ELASTIC INSERTS

Optically concealed on both sides, beneath the browband, lies the For-tuna secret: the fantastic elastic inserts! Because they intelligently connect the softly padded head piece (now with even more horse-friendly ear recess!) with the cheek-pieces and the noseband. Offering numerous advantages for rider and horse!
