PDS Hester's Jaguar Dressage Saddle | The Flatter Tree Performance Saddle Designed with Carl Hester
The Ultimate High-Performance Dressage Saddle for Horses Requiring a Flatter Back Profile
The PDS Hester's Jaguar Dressage Saddle is the flatter tree version of the acclaimed PDS Brioso Dressage Saddle, developed in collaboration with Olympic Champion Carl Hester to meet the needs of horses with a flatter back profile without compromising elite performance.
Designed for ambitious riders, professional trainers and competitive dressage combinations, the Jaguar delivers exceptional balance, close contact and freedom of movement. Its flatter tree profile provides increased support for horses with broader, flatter conformation while maintaining the precise rider position and feel demanded in modern dressage.
Built around the innovative Legacy Carbon Fibre Tree, the Jaguar combines outstanding strength with an incredibly lightweight construction of just 6.5 kg, reducing overall weight on the horse while promoting stability and rider confidence. The X-Change Series 2 adjustable tree system allows the saddle to be easily adjusted from 25 cm to 37 cm, making it one of the most versatile adjustable dressage saddles on the market.
Crafted from luxurious premium calfskin leather with pre-oiled natural tanning and chrome-free treatment, the Jaguar offers exceptional grip, softness and durability, creating a secure, elegant ride from the very first sit.
