Break turns into a fact-finding mission.
Chris Bradwell, the managing director of stable yard equipment manufacturer Stubbs England, likes to holiday off the beaten track.
Recently, he ventured nearly 700 miles north, to a place where the sun barely dips below the horizon at this time of year.
Chris was on holiday in the Shetland Islands when, while relaxing on a beautiful sunny day, he found himself surrounded by a herd of inquisitive native ponies.
With his track record of inventiveness – the space-saving Shelfie is his most recent inspiration, Chris says his mind was immediately whirling with ideas for Stubbs’ products for the smaller, wilder equine.
Nonetheless, for a few precious moments, he sat back to enjoy the unique experience of getting up close to the indigenous Shetland ponies.
