I use the Mohair girth from Montana Cinca.  The one I have has  
neoprene behind the buckles.  They also make one with a leather  
backing on the buckles.  These are short girths, and will fit a  
dressage saddle just fine.

I like them because, so far, I have never had a rub with them.  Part  
of that might be where the girth sits on my fellow -- his girth line  
is nicely back from his elbows.  I think they are cooler than the  
full neoprene girths.  Since they are string girths, there is more  
room for air circulation.  The only downside is that they do not have  
elastic inserts, if  you like to ride with that type of girth.
