Concentration is the key. I'm pretty good when it comes to strops, or lucky I guess. I've had a few mishaps over the years. The last one was my Long English Bridle, one of my favs btw. I had an argument with a guy at work the night before, and it was still on my mind. He's an A**hole. Anyway, Never strop angry....Anyway, The English Bridle got it pretty bad...Another member here was able to make me a paddle out of the remains...
Thanks Kelly...aka Nun2sharp....

Yup, I did buy another English Bridle...
