USED JAGUAR CLOSE CONTACT DRESSAGE SADDLE
Close Contact Dressage Model Retail is $4,950.00 !!! (details available at Europa Saddlery)
Black, 16.5" flap length, 17.5 " seat, width currently a Medium Wide - Has Adjustable gullet plate and spring tree. Made in England by Harry Dabbs. Comes with the Jaguar cover.
This is an extremely hard to find model and panel configuration, it has the half panels which work so well on the TB's, WB's and others with a wither hollow. (you only have surface bearing area of panel, not down the flap - which causes a tight area for some horses.
I searched a VERY long time to find this particular model, it is very hard to find and in my opinion is the best panel and all saddles should have it. This panel allows for shoulder rotation freedom. The close contact model puts you closer to the horse than other models. I did not want to be perched above the horse, and never felt that with this saddle.
This saddle has been lovingly cared for. It has been adjusted in a bit from a wide, no real change was made to the angle, just the width.
Has ample channel (4 fingers all the way thru) and gullet clearance (5" just above panels, right where the button is)
It is currently flocked up for a high withered TB. It has brand new flocking, completely stripped and professionally re-flocked - only about 6 rides on new flock, so it will mold perfectly to your horse. Some flocking could be removed, it is stuffed softly, (NOT overstuffed!) but fully for my horse and should be adjusted for a perfect fit for your own horse. Sadly after putting all this effort in, I realized the seat is a bit small for me and I need an 18" seat.
It is in very good used condition, no cantle scuffs or dings!!! Only wear is on the flaps, from leathers and a few indentations from previous owners chaps or something, not noticeable unless you really looked - just wanted to mention it. I love this saddle and must have another, so please give it a good home so I can buy a new one!!!
BONUS: I am throwing in all the extras, (used) Dressage Pad, Leathers, Irons, and a fleece 24" dressage girth. So you are all set to ride in your new saddle, in case you need any of these things right off! Other used CC Jaguars I have searched are listed in the $2200. to $2800.00 range, you will be getting a fantastic deal. (not even counting the extras) More pics available upon request
