Location: Idaho | New Crown C I bought isn't really the same as my other Crown C as far as how it sits me or sits on my horse... so I am looking to buy a Coats saddle per suggestion from a friend/trainer who rides in them. There is an obvious price difference with the Lazy L and Coats Orginals and I was curious how different are they as far as trees go and seat, etc... Thanks for the input!! |

| I have a Lazy L and quite like it. I got a hold of Larry and asked some questions about the difference. he backs the Lazy L saddles 100% as well as the ones he himself makes. Same tree in both. I could not afford one of his handmade ones and he assured me I was getting very good quality with his Lazy L line. This is my experience and some others may have other opinions or experiences......Good Luck! |

Location: Texas | I won a lazy l back in March. Even though it's a 14" I was able to squeeze myself in, but it didn't fit my horse either. It's well made and has an ostrich seat, but it's a very nice saddle and I wish it fit us but I'm going to have to sell it. |

Location: North Dakota | The Lazy L is factory made while the originals are handmade. I have a Lazy L and it is definitely a very nice saddle and high quality but just not as high of quality as the originals. For the money though IMO a Lazy L is definitely a higher quality saddle than many other factory made saddles like Circle Y, Tex Tan, Reinsman, etc. I also think it is much nicer quality than Double J (which I am not a fan of and think they are over priced anyways). |

Location: Texas | What's the price ranges on Lazy L? 2000 range or more like 1500 range? (I'm tired of my Corriente).

Location: Texas | I think you can get a fairly fancy Lazy L for under $2000. Pretty sure of that.
I have a Lazy L trophy saddle and I can put it on anything and ride. I don't like to RUN in it as I feel like I need just a hair deeper of a seat. I think if I made myself run in it a lot, I would get used to it.
I ordered a custom coats saddle and it should get here in July I hope. I am hoping the seat rides a hair different, otherwise I will just get used to it! The horse I am running now I think I would fly out of my Lazy L. She's almost left me in the dirt in my other saddle leaving the third, LOL.
I ordered an oak leaf 3/4 tooled coats with a suede seat, standard everything else. It cost me $3750. I hope to never have to sell it or switch out... |

No the double js are over priced and not made near as well as coats or martins. It's a shame because they are nice riding saddles
