Anyone who's ever struggled to get an item off the top shelf at the grocery store can relate to Pedro the pony.

Shetland ponies are known for being short, and Pedro is no exception.

Only a few feet off the ground, he struggles to see over the stable door at his new Brixton, England home, the Ebony Horse Club. Some creative children want to help fix that.

The kids of the community riding club thoroughly brainstormed ways they could help Pedro see: hot air balloons, high heels and walkie talkies were voted out. Instead, they 3D-printed a periscope -- even coining the term "Pedroscope."
