MORE than 300 riders headed to Brockenhurst at the weekend for the annual Hampshire Young Farmers Show.

The show, at New Park, has become an important date in the region's equestrian calender with events for showing, jumping and driving.

Secretary Anne Toms said numbers were up and standards were high. "We had competitors from as far afield as London, Salisbury and Blandford and the feedback was positive," she added.
