The Dublin Horse Show remains one of the biggest dates in the national and international equestrian calendars’ situated only 10 minutes from the heart of the capital city Dublin. This glorious and rich equine tradition is packed into a five-day extravaganza of all things horses in the month of August in Ballsbridge.
The first show was held in 1864 under the auspices of the Society but organised by the Royal Agricultural Society of Ireland where the show was held on the grounds of the Duke of Leinster’s Dublin Residence, Leinster House at Merrion Square.
