soft, dry, and deformable; soft, dry, deformable, and resilient
"weich" means soft but sometimes means "soft and resilient".
"verformbar" always means deformable.
"deformable" is different from soft and different from resilient. Therefore it is likely that the author intended to have it included in the list.

In particular, a structure may be locally soft and resilient but on a wider scale not deformable. It depends on how you define the area of focus. For example, it may be soft and resilient to the extent of 2-3 centimeters, but not deformable on the scale of 10 centimeters, which latter is still relevant for a horse.
