The first Dublin Horse Show was held in 1864, but was organized the Royal Agricultural Society of Ireland. Later in 1868, the Royal Dublin Society held and organized the show for the first time. Women were not allowed to ride freely until 1920. The Ladies Hunter Classes for ladies riding side-saddle in traditional costume (veil and habit) were judged on the Thursday of the Show. As a result Thursday became Ladies¹ Day. Here we see an example of that custom. In "A" condition. Linen-backed.
