Thats not what I said John, Good contact with the horse does not neccesarily mean the saddle doesn't fit - it means that the 'feel' of the horses movement is not as close...
I have ridden in plenty of saddles that fit the horse but when there is too much padding between you and your mount - one finds it more difficult to move, or anticipate at least, the movement of the horse. Its like the difference between riding with a cloth between you and your horse, and riding sat on a thick duvet.
