If you have a bridging saddle and the saddle no longer bridges when

sat in, regardless of the tree size or shape, the ends will come toward

the middle as weight is applied.  When the weight is lifted the ends

of the saddle will go away from the middle.  This back and forth

movement works on the wither and loin area.

*I am not sure why you are assuming the saddle would be bridging  If you begin

the fit with a tree that does fit the back, then it is not bridging. 

 

With Reactor Panel, unlike many other saddle designs, you can see the actual bottom

of the tree and place it on the bare back of the horse to check fit.  Many saddles have

so much padding or flocking you cannot really determine the shape of the tree inside.

The point I was addressing is the flex panel saddle conforming
to the rocker.  According to my understanding, the FP saddle 
tree is not fitted to the horse.  It conforms to whatever 
horse
it is put on.

I think you and I are on two different saddles.  I'm talking
FP and you're talking RP.
