BRIAN and Harold Lusk, along with the latter’s wife Jenny, are synonymous with equestrianism in Northern Ireland and on the Knockany Road outside Lisburn they run Lusk Equestrian Centre, Lusk Transport and a thriving business buying and selling show jumpers and eventers.

You can also add the odd thoroughbred to the mix and thus the brothers are following in the footsteps of their grandfather, James Lusk (1891-1964), who dealt in racehorses, half-breds and heavy horses when farming at Carntall, Doagh and finally Templepatrick.
