Berney Bros saddlery is a family run business which was founded in 1880 by Peter Berney. The store is based in Kilcullen, Co.Kildare, the epicentre of Ireland's equestrian world. There is enormous history, heritage and tradition within the Berney Bros brand which spans more than a century. Today it is ran by Thomas Berney and Jamie Berney, the fifth generation to take hold of the business.Berney Bros. pride themselves on their unique craftsmanship, expertise and wealth of knowledge of the business. Understanding the needs of the horse and rider is vital to design and develop products that can maximise their comfort, balance, and performance. The continuity of tradition, innova tion and technical excellence has allowed the business to grow over the last century.
International saddle has been designed, tried and tested by some of Irelands most successful riders. It was created by integrating the newest technology and innovations to provide the ultimate saddle for comfort, balance and performance for the horse and rider. Designed with our most premium French calf skin leather integrated into the seat, skirts and cushioned pads over the knee and thigh blocks. This gives the rider more grip that intensifies with use and that ridden in feeling from day one.Berney Bros. were able to provide the most comfort to the horse and rider by using a combination of orthopaedic memory foam, a spring tree, and wool flocked panels. The orthopaedic memory foam is embedded into the seat of the saddle and retains its spring and shock absorbency over time providing a really comfortable seat for the rider and aiding the horse by absorbing the impact of the rider’s movement. As with all of Berney’s saddles, this saddle is made with a laminated beech wood spring tree that is strength tested to the British Safety Standard. By using a spring tree we were able to achieve added shock absorbency while keeping the saddle lightweight. We designed the tree with a higher gullet plate and cut back head to accommodate the more blood horses with more prominent withers. The third component we use to achieve the ultimate comfort and welfare for the horse is our fully leather lined panels flocked with pure new wool. The biggest advantage that this material provides against others is that it spreads the weight of impact over a bigger surface area allowing the horse full use of themselves. Pure new wool also retains its spring and shock absorbency over time and moulds to the shape of the horses back compensating for horses changing shape throughout the season.This saddle is the ultimate jumping performance saddle. By having two flaps it suits a jumping rider that may want to alter their girth several times while warming up and just before they enter the competition arena. The two flap system allows quicker and easier access to the girth. This saddle is fitted with three buffalo hide girth straps that are attached to two separate cross over webs that are strong and durable.
