I'll second that on th leather girths!!!  Had been taking out new mare
(bought in Nov., green), for about 4 darn months, with sport saddle and
neoprene girth.  Not a problem.  One day, my daughter wanted to use the
Keiffer on her on very short walking trail ride, flat.  Standard three fold
english leather girth.  Mare had HORRIBLE rub from edge of girth-still has a
line of white hairs.  I felt terrible!
