THE list of people involved in getting a horse safely to the sales ring and successfully sold is endless, and one such cog in the wheel is Tom Berney of Berney Bros Saddlery.

Tom is part of long line of saddlers in his family. Berney Bros have operated out of the same building in Kilcullen, Co Kildare since 1880. “The business has been handed down from one generation to the next. It was my grandfather’s grandfather that started it.”
