If one has a picnic basket for occasional use on one's luggage rack, one does
not leave the straps
in place when one has no basket. Simply "not done" old boy. Instead, one rolls
up the straps and
keeps them somewhere convenient, though one could request one's Butler to keep
the straps pristine
with the application of saddle soap and boot polish.
If the Butler declines to do this, he should discuss the matter with one's
Groom in the Tack Room
