THE Royal Bath and West Show this year from May 30 to June 2 will be bursting at the seams with entries and displays in the equestrian categories.

A record entry of over 1,900 ridden and in-hand, spread over the four days, will keep all rings and stewards busy.

Sports horse entries show a steep rise from 27 entries last year to over 70 to be assessed by Olympic gold medallist Richard Meade.
