The second day of Dublin Horse Show sees the ladies come out in all their finery - and even the weather doesn't put them off!

Sadly this year the weather was not being kind and the day threatened rain and did in fact drizzle on and off for most of the day.

Australian photographer, Katrina Mann, in specifically for Dublin Horse Show brings us a feast of the colour, elegance and fun with the hats which all milled around the forecourt of the Showrings during Ladies Day at Dublin Horse Show 2005.

This lady must surely be a true Dubliner - pictured left - prepared for everything with her umbrella complete with horse motiffs.

And surely these two ladies - pictured below - must be sisters or related in some way!

The bright flowers on this elegant hat - pictured left - went a long way to brightening what was a very overcast day.

The champagne flowed for these two ladies who braved the weather in their beautiful summer dresses.
