| I've never ridden in one. But I threw one up on my mare one day and there was so much rock in the bars that it rocked back and forth like a rocking chair |

Location: on the fine line between insanity and geniusness | I love my Double J's. I have a pozzi and two pros and just ordered another pozzi. With that being said, the Lynn McKenzie is not my favorite tree. My mom had one that I hated. It didn't fit anything and I didn't care for the way it rode. |

| Didn't fit my horse, but I only have experience with the Special. I loved it for me, but I had to sell it.

How is your horse you put it on built?
Mine is not wide in the shoulders but has high withers and a good spring of rib and short backed. At her clinic there was a girl with a thoroughbred build ( like mine, but not the spring of rib)that the special didn't fit but Lynn put a wide tree on him (just a bare tree) on the horse and it fit. I wish I had asked her if we could try one on mine but I didn't. |

Location: Nebraska | I've had 2 and they fit the mare that I bought them for great. The tree in one of them broke for no reason and the other I got was very poor quality leather. I was dissapointed in the quality of both of them but liked the way they rode and fit my horse. They don't fit everything, though. She has videos on youtube that describe the horses they fit. |

| I have 2 of them and love them I think they are excellent saddles, comfortable and well made. However I think that being said saddles are like anything else its a personal preference and you have to go with what works for you and your horse.

| Lynn has several different trees... the special, the wide, neuva and the neuva wide. Both of my saddles are the wide trees. My horses are all pretty wide and broad so the wide fits them very well. I do have a more razor whithered horse which a special works on him. |

| I loved the look of the DJ Lynn Mckenzie, but found a Billy Cook with an LM tree and I LOVE it. Love how it fits me, love how it fits my (race built) horse. Half the price! |

Location: Mountains of VA | I have a LM special Double J, beautiful saddle and extremely well-made, a little on the heavy side. I bought it through Tanner Time in 2006. At that time, in fit the horse I bought it for but I have not had a horse since that it fits well. It tends to roll and I don't feel comfortable in the saddle. I find myself riding in my old Circle Y Connie Combs saddle all the time on all the horses.
I would love to sell my LM saddle but would need to replace it with another saddle and I have no idea what kind/type of saddle that would be. TOO many saddle options out there!!

| LOVE LOVE LOVE them. Won't ride in anything else! Only thing that kept me 'in' but not stuck so I could still get out and huddle if needed. I tried EVERYTHING prior to that, triple creek, Martin, treeless', Caldwell, pro rider. Won't ever ride in anything else.
Mine is custom made for my open horse fits like glove.
With that being said I did buy abused Lynn, and it turns out it was a phony!!!!! If they don't not have cereal number they are not true lynns! |

Location: Naples, Texas | I have a Nueva and love it. I ride it on three different horses. It fits all three well enough, but I would like to get my mare fitted because I think she would benefit more from a wide. |

Location: Alberta, Canada | I had a Nueva and LOVED how it rode. unfortunately didnt fit any of my horses. I have 3 pozzis now and as much as I love them, preferred the slight difference in how the lm rode. |

| I currently have a LM Special Wide fit and I love it. I bought it second hand 6 years ago and have loved it since. I was looking for something that fit me AND the variety of horses I was riding at the time. It fits my stocky gelding well and I ride it with a CSI pad 3/4" or a Saddleright Pad and it does not roll. I really love Double J's leather, its supple and soft and the rough out stays rough, unlike Martin (I also have a Martin all around to rope in). Always wanted to try a Pozzi or even a Roohide! |
