The “New Lynn McKenzie Special” saddles are hand made in Yoakum, TX by Double J Saddlery on rawhide covered, fiberglass reinforced wood trees.  American tanned Herman Oak skirting leather is used along with stainless steel hardware.  Customizing is easy with a wide variety of hand tooling patterns, and seat and rawhide colors to choose from.  Standard features include cut-away skirts for closer contact, biothane stirrup leathers, polished aluminum stirrups, and Montana Silversmiths accents.  The saddles are hand oiled for a beautiful finish, and come “ready to ride

The “New Lynn McKenzie Special” saddle is on the cutting edge of saddle design.  The improved bars allow for increased shoulder movement and freedom for the hips to coil under the back of the saddle.  Due to this design and the innovative rigging, the weight of both saddle and rider is distributed evenly along the length of the bars.

The rigging is the key to the way this saddle fits.  The uniquely designed hardware is hung on the biothane straps attached to the front and back of the bars.  The saddle can be rigged in only the front slots (7/8 rig), a “V” using both slots (3/4 rig), or in the back slots only (almost a “center fire” rig).  It is set back further than what has been common, taking pressure off of the shoulders and withers.  By eliminating pressure points (which show up as dry spots when the saddle is removed), we allow the horse to move more comfortably under the saddle.

This is a basic Lynn McKenzie "Special".

But as you can see even the basic saddle looks pretty nice, especially when you consider that you have a choice of seat colors, rawhide colors, and tooling patterns.

There are many, many options available to either dress up or dress down your new saddle.  Nowhere else will you find a company willing to build saddles like this, AND ship your saddle this quickly.  (Normally 4 to 6 weeks!)

Options like your choice of seat styles, colors, conchos, rawhide colors, tooling patterns, leather colors, horn styles, and finishes, and the list just keeps going on.

An example of how "Fancy" they can get.

It has a black Ostrich seat & inlays, silver laced cantle & gullet, Texas Star conchos, hand tooling on fenders and jockeys, black braided rawhide horn, and silver slots for the back girth.  Want colors?

The above saddle has a full quill Ostrich leather seat.  Ostrich seats are our personal preference although they do cost more, but the difference they makes in wear ability more than make up for he extra cost.  They just don't show wear or fade like the suede seats do.  Also available in semi-quill Ostrich.  Same great  qualities but at a lesser cost .  Lynn orders the semi-quill in her personal saddles.
