A HORSE visited a carpet shop this week in Liskeard.

Twelve-year-old mare Disney went along to Liskeard Carpets in Pig Meadow Lane for a photo-shoot.

Nicola Petvin-Moore took Disney into her shop as part of a Liskeard Town Team initiative to capture traders on camera in their retail setting in ways that reflect their personal passions.

Through the scheme, there will be 35 portraits taken by local photographer Stephen Tolfrey which will be displayed online and in print to project a lively image of the town.

Nicola was joined in the photo-shoot by husband Dean, complete with headphones and microphone, reflecting his previous job as the breakfast show presenter on the former Atlantic FM radio station. He is still a producer but also a partner at the shop.

Nicola said Disney took it all in her stride. 'We wanted our profile to be fun and reflect what we do outside the business,' she said. 'I think a horse in a carpet shop will be a hard act to follow!'
