Jaguar XKC dressage saddle - what type of horse does this fit?

[Juxtapoze]

Anyone own or ridden in a Jaguar XKC dressage saddle? Wondering what type of horse/back type it works well with. I really like this type of knee roll and a deeper seat. Found a few used for a reasonable cost.

Here’s a pic of saddle for reference:

I’m a catch rider right now so I ride a lot of different horses, but would like a comfy deeper seated dressage saddle that will work for a variety of horses. Since I ride a lot of naughty green horses, would be great to have something a little more secure than my jump saddle. (Yes-in a perfect world, I’d have one saddle individually fitted to one horse, but sadly that’s not my reality right now). Thanks in advance for any feedback on the Jaguar (or other dressage saddles to consider given my circumstances).

I think of Jaguar as a saddle that fits the lighter, modern, thoroughbred types. The upswept panels give you a bit more flexibility in back than a gusset would. IMHO, it’s curvy saddle built for a horse with withers in the MN to MW range. Not for horses that are wide or table flat or barrel shaped.

I have not seen this saddle in person, but I agree with Joiedevie99. It is a really curvy saddle front to back and would not do well on a horse with any sort of broadness in the wither.

We’ve had them on consignment. They aren’t always narrow per se. They don’t have supportive front panels but are very upswept. Therefore, I’m not always crazy about the fit on a horse that needs depth in front. A horse that has some shape longitudinally or a steeper rise to the croup could do well in this as long as it doesn’t need lift in front, although one could use a shim pad. Additionally, I don’t recall the panels being especially broad laterally.
