France's Elodie Clouvel was pipped to the line to take silver in 2015 before going on to take World and Olympic silver a year later.

Team Bath's Sports Training Village will be transformed into spectator arenas for all five disciplines, including the show-jumping. There will be interactive opportunities to try the sports involved and other attractions for spectators.
