Tuesday 11th September 2018:
 
Gloucestershire: The iCandy team were treated to a look into the life of British Olympian, Zara Tindall. Zara kindly opened her home and working-stables in rural Gloucestershire to capture for the first time an iCandy Parent ambassadorship video, highlighting the prestigious and high-profile partnership between Zara and the iCandy brand.

The exclusive video highlights the juxtaposition of Zara's world as a Mum alongside her world as an athlete at the top of her game and expresses how her iCandy for Land Rover all-terrain pushchair and its functionality provides and facilitates the link between her two worlds.
 ‘…I always use the best equipment in competing and it definitely applies for the children and having the best for the baby. The iCandy for Land Rover works incredibly well for us and fits into our lifestyle across all-terrains, it is light and accessible. It is a fantastic addition for our family.’ Says Zara of her new iCandy for Land Rover all-terrain pushchair. ‘It is so important to me and the family to be outside my job day-in-day-out is solely being outside, so for me having the family there makes it all the more doable with my iCandy for Land Rover pushchair.’

Zara goes on to explain what a typical day leading up to an event looks like as she embarks on a rigorous training schedule in preparation of the competitive horse-riding circuit calendar ahead and how she juggles life as a mum to 3 month old baby Lena and 4 year old daughter Mia.

Speaking candidly about how it feels to be back in the saddle after her break from competing since October 2017, Zara notes how riding makes her feel like a ‘better person,’ on the track as well as at home and how having her husband Mike’s support has been vital in achieving a balance between her career and her family life.

‘It is so wonderful to have Zara as part of our iCandy family. Her sporting excellence as both a World Champion and Olympic medallist is a credit to Great Britain, but to see her achieve all this and go on to become a full-time mother too is the embodiment of the multi-dimensional modern working parent that we see in many of our customers across the globe. As a fourth-generation family business we understand the pressures modern life can bring to parenting and our brand mission is to aid and benefit the lives of parents and children’s as much as possible, through innovative and beautifully functional products. The iCandy for Land Rover pushchair is the perfect of example of what we are able to achieve to bring parents a product which fits seamlessly into their lifestyle.’ Bradley Appel, iCandy joint CEO
