The main attraction at the Horse Show yesterday was for a while swimmer Michelle de Bruin.
Dressed in a cream suit, she was interviewing riders in participation with a camera crew. Ms de Bruin works for Emerald Image, which makes videos for the Show Jumping Association of Ireland, and also works for Tara TV.
Looking assured and smiling, she chatted to the riders and seemed unaware of the growing number of photographers around her.
Inside the grounds, events continued with an all-day fashion show which brought out large hats, tall hats, and all manner of outfits.
Feathers seemed to be the order of the day. But ultimately it was the wind that won as gusts saw many women running after their creations.
The end of the day brought another surprise. The winner of the Rover Fashion Day on Ladies' Day was - a man. The first male ever to win a Horse Show style competition was Mr Donald Brennan from Meath, now living in Dublin 4.
The prize was a red Rover 214, priced at over £12,500 and well worth his get-up of navy suit with three-quarter length coat, trousers, of course, blue gingham shirt and iridescent silk tie.
The gardai earlier in the day warned of forged £20 notes. They reaped their own reward. A garda at the mini-station in the grounds said they had received not only a forged £20 note but also a £50 one.
"That's a new one on me," he said.
In the Main Arena, six mounted gardai brought in their horses and the winners of a children's competition to name them were announced. The names are Croga (Valiant), Lasair (Flame or Lightning), Realt Ban (White Star), Toirneach (Thunder), Dilis (Faithful) and Cara (Friend).
