From Balance saddles website:
"In order for the saddle to work with the padding system, it has to be 'fitted' to be wider than the horse's current, static shape. It must not be so wide that it touches the withers before the pads go underneath, nor narrow enough to sit level on the horse's back before the pads to underneath."
