I had an ongoing problem (took three years to correct, but finally managed!) 
with a horse who had his sire's name as a part of his own name.  Not even the 
first part, mind you--so they aren't even alphabetically close!  And I 
faithfully put their horse numbers on ALL entry blanks.  Every year, the 
office would delete the younger horse and add his mileage to his sire's 
record.  His sire retired about the time I started riding him--and was dead 
when all this mixup was going on.  Always thought that that was why we had ID 
numbers!  Only the office can resurrect dead horses--not even ride vets can 
do that!
