Bowlers may not be ‘quite the thing’ after all

SORTING out the chaps from the lads at the Fáilte Ireland Dublin Horse Show is proving a trifle difficult.

Popular perception is that the well-groomed men in dark suits and bowler hats, with black umbrellas dangling from their arms, are the chaps.

They are to be seen in their sartorial elegance as they go about their official duties in the manicured arenas or guiding horses around the rings at every show in Ballsbridge.
