The Passier Corona II is a premium German dressage saddle designed to provide a deep, secure rider position while maintaining the traditional craftsmanship, durability, and fitting capability for which Passier saddles are known.
This particular Corona II features a 17" seat with an approximately Medium/Medium-Wide tree, measuring approximately 5.25" dot-to-dot at the front of the tree. The flaps measure approximately 16.75" long × 13" wide.
The Corona II provides a deep, supportive dressage seat designed to place the rider centrally over the horse. Substantial thigh support helps stabilize the rider's leg while maintaining an effective classical dressage position.
The saddle features wool-flocked panels, providing important fitting flexibility for the horse. A qualified saddle fitter can alter panel volume and balance to improve contact and pressure distribution, and the flocking can be maintained or rebalanced as the horse's musculature changes.
Passier saddles are built on the company's traditional synthetic spring-tree system. One significant advantage of Passier construction is that the gullet/tree width can be professionally altered using the appropriate equipment, giving the saddle considerably more long-term fitting flexibility than a permanently fixed-width tree.

Horse Fit
With its current approximately M/MW configuration and 5.25" dot-to-dot measurement, this Corona II should initially be considered for a horse with a moderate to moderately broad upper back and shoulder profile.
Potential candidates may include warmbloods, sport-horse crosses, substantial Thoroughbred crosses, and other horses with moderate withers and medium-to-broad shoulders, depending on the horse's actual topline.
The wool-flocked panels provide additional fitting flexibility, while the professionally adjustable Passier tree gives a qualified fitter some ability to alter the front width when appropriate.
The 5.25" dot-to-dot measurement is a physical reference measurement only
Rider Fit
The combination of a 17" seat and 16.75"L × 13"W flaps provides a moderate rider footprint with a relatively long dressage flap.
The Corona II's deeper seat and substantial leg support make it particularly appropriate for a rider who prefers a secure, supported dressage position rather than the more open feel of older traditional dressage saddles.

Passier saddles are particularly valued on the used market because their wool-flocked panels and professionally adjustable tree width provide substantial fitting capability even as the horse's shape changes.
The Corona II represents Passier's more supportive approach to dressage saddle design, combining a deep seat, substantial rider support, wool-flocked panels, and an adjustable spring tree.
