I've had both. The LM has more "rock" to the bars and tends to fit closer right under where your thighs lay. The TS has a "flatter" bar and, for most horses, the bar will make equal contact all the way down the horse's back.
From experience, the LMs work good on a horse that has larger shoulders, decent withers and a hollow spot behind the shoulder/wither. I'd have to say the TS would fit a larger demographic of backs, maybe aside from the group that's better in the LM.

Thank you guys! I have a Lyn special now and want to try a Tami.
My mare is stocky but has a wid flat back but not real big or wide shoulders. So I'm looking for something that will be wid enough for her back. It not too wide for her shoulders.

You'll probably really like the TS wide. I have one in a 14.5" that fits my daughter's mare (stocky with wide, flat back) perfectly. I'd part with it, as it's too wide for my LSOF.
