It has been a long 3 months with saddles that did not fit and her back being sore. Once I saw the rigging on the Double J saddles I knew that I was on the right track. But getting the right saddle was so important. The Lynn McKenzie not only fit "Pirate", but I loved the quality of it, the way it fit me and even the gorgeous Texas star conchos! When I opened the box I was really happy. And having you only a phone call away to answer all my questions for a few days was great. Can't wait to get out to a show next week and let you know how we do!! Thanks again, you were very kind and your knowledge is solid! Karen Amshay at Applecreekfarms@a0l.com

Hi Lanette, Lanette, All I can say is WOW! I just finished my first ride in my new sting ray saddle. I absolutely love it. The saddle fits me perfectly and was very comfortable to ride in for the first time. The sting ray really gives me a good secure feel in the seat plus it is so cool looking. You did a great job in designing this saddle. I think it is like maybe the 5th new saddle I have bought from you. It’s always a pleasure doing business with you. You are so very knowledgeable and helpful in choosing saddles. The saddle got here in 2 days after the order was placed. I won’t buy anywhere else but thru you. Thanks again, Gwen Cumbie |

Lanette:
The saddle is great!!! Fits perfectly!! We had a 3-Day
Jurassic barrel race over the holiday weekend. Thursday
night I rode my old saddle and ran a 15.9. Saturday I
changed to the new saddle and ran a 15.6. After watching
the videos, my friend noticed that the old saddle came up in
the back when I was running home. How uncomfortable that
must have been to Rocky's shoulders. I thought I had a lazy
horse and he is pretty laid back....he slow (very slow)
lopes his circles and warm ups. With the new saddle he
just seems to be "freed up". He is much more willing to go
into the lope and lopes like he is not bound up. That's the
only words I can think of to describe it. I have had many
compliments on the saddle and all the bling. I didn't
realize how many people would notice a new saddle. We
ran again on Saturday night and one of the other racers told
me she really liked how I "sit" in my new saddle. When I
whipped on the way home I was very glad I was "sitting"
because Rocky showed me a new gear!! WOO HOO!! Thanks
again for your help and patience. We made a great
choice!

All of the saddles shown on these pages are available in 13", 13 1/2", 14", 14 1/2", 15", 15 1/2", and 16" seats. Notice that many of the saddles shown feature a leather covered horn. "I actually prefer a leather horn over the braided rawhide" says Lynn. You can choose either type on any saddle. Now also available is the ability to build Lynn McKenzie Special "Kids" size saddles.
The "New Lynn McKenzie Special" saddle is on the cutting edge of saddle design for speed events. We started by improving the saddle tree design to allow increased shoulder movement and freedom for the horse's hips to coil under the back of the saddle. These improvements, along with the unique rigging design, allows the weight of both saddle and rider to be distributed evenly along the horse's back.
Tree description:
Lynn McKenzie Special tree - Gullet or pommel measures 5 1/2" wide - Bars - 11" at the top and 13" at the wide point, and between the bars underneath 3 1/2" wide.
Lynn McKenzie Wide Tree - Gullet or pommel measures 6 1/4" wide - Bars - 13" and between the bars underneath 4 1/2" wide. The LM Wide Tree goes to the next level of fitting horses which the LM Special does not fit. These are the horses with wider shoulders and flatter backs. The gullet measurement of 6 1/4" holds the saddle in good position on the horses back. Too wide of a measurement in the gullet will allow the bars to slip behind the shoulder blade and cause dry spots or white hair due to excessive pressure. However, the bars on the “LM Wide Tree” flare out forward of where the rider sits allowing the big shoulders to run up under the bars instead of bumping into them. If the shoulder bumps into the bars, it restricts shoulder movement which will shorten the stride.
The Wide Fit Tree fits horses that you have been riding with semi quarter horse bars and with the flared bars to give them more shoulder room the Quarter Horse bars.
The LM Wide Tree is rigged with the same innovative rigging as the
Special. This method has proven to keep the saddle in place with
"little" to "no" slipping back or rolling side to
side.
We were also able
to keep the integrity of the seat the
same even though we changed the bars. The rider will
still get the same great ride and
balance with the new
“LM Wide Tree.”
Lynn
says
"My saddle trees are handmade to my specification in New Braunfels,
Texas. They are wood trees, fiberglass reinforced, and covered in a new
material called Armor-coat. Rawhide covered trees are still available,
but TESTS PROVE THAT THE NEW MATERIAL IS FAR SUPERIOR.
The saddles are built using Herman Oak skirting leather (one of the few
tanners still operating in the US), and all hardware is stainless steel.
My saddles are handmade at the Double J factory in Yoakum. Everything is
made to order, (please allow about 4 weeks for delivery) so you can have
it your way!"
