Reminds me of the time I was visiting Africa. The locals had some horses and were offering riding lessons. I got thrown from the horse but my foot got tangled up in the reins and I was dragged for a good distance. If those reins had snapped, I would have been trampled. That was a memorable trip. A lot of people thought I would have come away with not liking Africa because of my experience. No way. I consider myself lucky for the quality of those leather strips that saved my life.

I bless the reins down in Africa
