A total of 134 competitions take place during the show which lasts until Sunday.
The Horseplay Hub will also take over the RDS Concert Hall for each of the five days.
It'll feature farriers, equine vets, historians and course designers to lend visitors a deeper understanding of what goes in to turning out an international show jumper.
