[RC] Girthy - Angie Fura

Hi everyone - I need some advice on how to handle a horse who seems to get heat rashes and irritation near his elbows.  During the summer, he reacted to a neoprene girth.  I switched to felt and that seemed to cure it.  To my horror, it reappeared this past weekend at BSF.   I can't think of why it reappeared at this ride when I seemed to be rid of it all summer.  I'm going to switch to a fleece girth to see if that helps. 
 
What causes girthiness?   And are there any cures that don't involve powder or cremes.
