Happy birthday, and please ignore the fact I got the dates scrambled. I left your present with Alani.

Yeah, I ordered it a couple weeks ago. Just got here last week. Hope you can get some good use from it.

You found me a real woolen saddle pad from Afghanistan? David, it's handmade in the traditional way... I recognize the craftsmanship!

Glad you like it. It turns out there's enough of a market that a few traditional makers have an online presence.
I was surprised by how inexpensive it was, honestly -- that sort of thing has to take a lot of time to make.

Too bad so few recognize that fact.
You do know this means you will have to come riding with me sometimes. You can't escape now.
