how cool - i've just booked my tix for XC day too - I haven't been since I was about 14 / 15 and Ginny Leng was the one to watch!! How old am I (sigh)!!!!
Louise withdrew?! Oh no, will ask her next time I see her. She might have felt that Watership Down wasnt up to it yet, hes only 10 this year I think and has not had that many runs but im sure they'll be back next year! Perhaps Burghley in September?
I think they do number them separately because they print the programme first so they can withdraw one right at the last minute and the programme still has the right relevant details and number.
Something like that anyway!!
I just had another thought- is it because they are double entered with two different horses? (here's where it gets really confusing)
So horse A can be double entered with horse B AND horse C. If rider chooses to take horse A, she can either sacrifice B or C, giving her more options. Therefore the numbers cant be a direct swap as horse A would have to share a number with B or C.....
You may go sit down and think about that one, I'm off to find the wine....

I've already found the wine...which may be which I'm finding it very hard to understand!!!
Are you going to Bovington by the way?

Apparently I am- I got confirmation through for Moon this morning (I really didnt think I had entered!) and then Sunshine's owner rang me to tell me I was doing it on her as well.
See you there?
