The 140th Dublin Horse Show kicks off in the RDS in Dublin today.
The traditional Ladies Day takes place on Thursday - with prizes for the most colourful outfit and the most creative hat - and even a prize for the best dressed man.
As usual all eyes will be on which national team takes home the coveted Aga Khan trophy.
"It will be the mixture of the competitions that people know and love so well," said Michael Duffy CEO of the RDS.
