while this has been a good discussion, it is a diversion of focus from
endurnace. I'm sure there's lots more to be said, but this would be a
good time to take it private; let Richard have the last word; and move
back on topic - endurance. It's sunday - there's a new champion
young-horse in france - there are lots of trails to ride and things
OUTSIDE the show circuit to discuss. 

For example; any comments on the new team competition format that was
tried out in France? We, in the NW, have under the PNER organization,
teams which accumulate points all year. The French experiment was to
apply the team concept to a single event - to break the FEI structure of
1 team/country and to allow teams to be any 4 competitors (from
anywhere). I'm trying to convince Steph to do a similar thing next year
here in Oreana.

any thoughts?
