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!

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.

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.

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.

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 …

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!
