They cannot do just that...you are leaving out the equation of the rider

There are approximately 400 square inches of surface to make contact as they flex to the contour of the back of the horse. The (2) flex system panels (one on each side of the horse back) flex making contact with most all the back area with the exception of the spine area. This allows a 150# riders weight to be approximately (.38) of a pound per square inch.  Whereas a standard saddle using the same rider distributes 6.25 pounds per square inch.  As you may know, 4 or more pounds per square inch can cause damage.

All the padding in the world can not make an ill fitting saddle fit better.  Ask yourself, Would you buy a size 18 pair of boots and just pad them up with socks to fit? I think not. Flex systems have been around for over 20 years and have been proven to work great as they can be used with a minimal padding of less than 1/2 inch or non at all.
