-I'm Dave Wakely.

0:00:290:00:30

-I've been learning Welsh,

-on and off, since 2008.

0:00:310:00:34

-I'm an artist

-and I live in Liverpool.

0:00:340:00:37

-I recently held a bilingual

-exhibition in the city.

0:00:370:00:41

-It's my dream...

0:00:410:00:42

-..to be able to work and socialize

-through the medium of Welsh.

0:00:430:00:47

-For two days,

-my dream will become a reality...

0:00:470:00:51

-..here,

-on the Urdd Eisteddfod maes.

0:00:510:00:54

-For help to follow the programme,

-use the website...

0:00:580:01:02

-..and the Dal Ati app.

0:01:040:01:05

-I work

-as a traditional sign painter.

0:01:090:01:13

-I also use enamel paint and so on...

0:01:150:01:19

-..to create my artwork.

0:01:210:01:23

-I started to learn Welsh in 2008.

0:01:280:01:32

-I've been learning, on and off,

-since then.

0:01:390:01:43

-Several years ago,

-I heard Datblygu's music.

0:01:470:01:51

-I'm a massive fan

-of music in general.

0:01:530:01:57

-I wanted to understand...

0:02:030:02:06

-..what David R Edwards

-was saying to us.

0:02:120:02:15

-I started by going to a night class

-at a local centre.

0:02:190:02:24

-In the meantime,

-I listen to Radio Cymru...

0:02:280:02:32

-..and I watch S4C.

0:02:400:02:42

-I have friends who speak Welsh,

-both as a second language...

0:02:440:02:48

-..and as their first language.

0:02:490:02:51

-I try to go to places...

0:02:530:02:54

-..where people speak Welsh

-as a second language.

0:02:550:02:59

-For example, we went camping in Bala

-over the Bank Holiday weekend.

0:03:010:03:07

-The Rees family will look after Dave

-for the next two days on the maes.

0:03:200:03:25

-I'm Heulyn and I'm at the Eisteddfod

-with Catrin, Brengain and Mabon.

0:03:300:03:35

-We're a family

-and we come from Pontypridd.

0:03:350:03:38

-The Eisteddfod is a festival which

-attracts people from all over Wales.

0:03:380:03:44

-Children and young people

-up to the age of 25...

0:03:440:03:47

-..take part in competitions,

-from singing to acting and dancing.

0:03:470:03:52

-It's not everyone's cup of tea,

-including Mabon...

0:03:520:03:56

-..who'll spend his time in the fair

-and with his friends.

0:03:560:04:00

-We come every year

-because Brengain always competes.

0:04:010:04:05

-We have fun,

-going from one prelim to the next.

0:04:050:04:08

-We taste success sometimes.

0:04:090:04:11

-I enjoy seeing old friends.

0:04:110:04:13

-It's always a good day.

0:04:130:04:15

-I can't wait

-to take Dave around the maes...

0:04:150:04:18

-..and introduce him to a different

-culture and maybe new experiences.

0:04:190:04:24

-I'm Dave.

0:04:280:04:30

0:04:390:04:41

-Brengain.

0:04:410:04:42

-Brengain.

-

-Brengain? OK.

0:04:420:04:44

-Brengain is competing

-in the Folk Song Solo.

0:04:440:04:47

-You can come with us to the prelim.

0:04:470:04:49

-You can come with us to the prelim.

-

-Yes.

0:04:490:04:51

-Mabon wants to do some archery

-with you.

0:04:510:04:54

-Brengain and I will take selfies

-with famous people.

0:04:550:04:59

-Oh, really? Who?

0:04:590:05:01

-Oh, really? Who?

-

-Whoever we find.

0:05:010:05:02

-Rhys Ifans maybe.

0:05:020:05:04

-Rhys Ifans maybe.

-

-Maybe.

0:05:040:05:05

-Yes, and I'd like you

-to come and work with me.

0:05:060:05:09

-The Urdd Eisteddfod is in Bridgend

-next year and we have a stall here.

0:05:090:05:14

-I'd like your help on the stall.

0:05:140:05:17

-I'd like your help on the stall.

-

-Fine.

0:05:170:05:19

-Are you a good salesman?

0:05:190:05:20

-Are you a good salesman?

-

-Yes.

0:05:200:05:22

-Competing is the most important part

-of the Urdd Eisteddfod.

0:05:290:05:34

-Brengain has Folk Song Solo prelim

-in Stiwdio 3, so let's go.

0:05:340:05:38

-What's a prelim?

0:05:390:05:40

-It's where lots of people compete...

0:05:400:05:43

-..then the top three is selected

-to perform in the pavilion.

0:05:430:05:47

-Let's go.

0:05:480:05:49

-Stiwdio 3?

0:05:490:05:50

-Stiwdio 3?

-

-Yes. Let's go.

0:05:500:05:52

-Where are we going, Dave?

0:05:580:05:59

-I'm lost.

0:06:000:06:02

-To be honest,

-I'm not sure where Stiwdio 3 is.

0:06:020:06:05

-That sign is pointing towards

-the prelim venues.

0:06:070:06:11

-Let's follow that sign.

0:06:110:06:13

-We're a bit lost, unfortunately.

0:06:190:06:21

-Can you help us, please?

0:06:230:06:25

-Yes, no problem.

0:06:260:06:27

-Where is Stiwdio 3, please?

0:06:280:06:30

-You're not far.

0:06:300:06:32

-Not far?

0:06:320:06:34

-Where are we now?

0:06:340:06:35

-We're around here now.

0:06:360:06:37

-All you need to do is go left

-and then right and you'll be there.

0:06:400:06:44

-Can you say that again?

0:06:450:06:46

-First, go left past the

-science centre and then go right.

0:06:470:06:51

-Great. Thank you.

0:06:530:06:54

-Here we are, in Stiwdio 3.

0:06:580:07:00

-# A little tinker boy

-Wandering the countryside... #

0:07:010:07:06

-I like folk songs.

0:07:070:07:08

-I like folk music.

-It belongs to the people.

0:07:100:07:14

-It's good to see...

0:07:190:07:21

0:07:390:07:42

-

-It was really good.

0:07:420:07:43

-Were you nervous?

0:07:440:07:46

-Yes, I was really nervous.

0:07:470:07:50

-Yes, I was really nervous.

-

-You still look nervous.

0:07:500:07:51

-They'll choose the three best

-singers from the 16 entrants...

0:07:520:07:56

-..to sing on the Eisteddfod stage.

0:07:570:08:00

-When will you find out

-if she'll sing on the stage?

0:08:000:08:04

-In around an hour,

-when all the contestants have sung.

0:08:050:08:09

-Fingers crossed.

0:08:090:08:11

0:08:110:08:13

-how things are done here.

0:08:180:08:22

-He hasn't been

-to the Eisteddfod before.

0:08:220:08:25

-He didn't know what a prelim was.

0:08:250:08:27

-It was nice for him to see

-how the Urdd Eisteddfod works.

0:08:270:08:31

-I explained

-it's a bit like X Factor.

0:08:320:08:34

-You get through different rounds

-to reach the stage.

0:08:360:08:39

-He won't see Brengain on the stage

-this time, unfortunately.

0:08:400:08:45

-I can't believe

-the size of this place.

0:08:460:08:48

-It's really massive.

0:08:490:08:50

-There were 20,000 people

-here yesterday.

0:08:550:08:58

-All those people came to a youth

-festival and they all speak Welsh.

0:09:030:09:07

-It's great.

0:09:080:09:09

-Archery.

0:09:140:09:16

-A left-handed bow for Mabon.

0:09:160:09:18

-Tails.

0:09:240:09:25

-You go first.

0:09:260:09:28

-Let's put a doughnut on it.

0:09:290:09:30

-HE PRETENDS TO COUGH

0:09:310:09:33

-No pressure. No pressure.

0:09:340:09:36

-I've never

-used a bow and arrow before.

0:09:400:09:44

-I enjoyed the experience.

0:09:460:09:49

-The tension on the bow

-is really strong.

0:09:520:09:56

-You could kill someone

-with a bow and arrow!

0:10:000:10:04

-Another red. Come on, Robin Hood!

0:10:130:10:16

-Black.

0:10:190:10:20

0:10:230:10:25

-Come on, Mabon.

0:10:250:10:27

-Very good.

0:10:280:10:29

-Very good.

-

-Three points.

0:10:290:10:30

-Black is two points, so that's five.

0:10:330:10:35

-Very good.

0:10:370:10:39

-The scores are tied.

0:10:400:10:41

-One point.

0:10:430:10:45

-One point.

-

-That wasn't good, was it?

0:10:450:10:47

-Oh! The winner.

0:10:530:10:54

-That's 11 points.

0:10:560:10:58

0:17:090:17:11

-Pencils and an eraser, please.

0:17:120:17:15

-The pencils cost 1.

0:17:150:17:16

0:17:170:17:18

0:17:190:17:20

-What's eraser in Welsh?

-

-Dileydd.

0:17:200:17:22

-Yes, it's 1 for the eraser too.

0:17:220:17:24

0:17:280:17:30

-

-Yes. I've sold lots of candyfloss.

0:20:060:20:09

-Excellent.

0:20:090:20:11

-Children love it.

0:20:110:20:12

-The sugar pot is almost empty.

0:20:130:20:15

-Take a break. You worked hard.

-

-Great. Cheers.

0:20:190:20:21

-Go and enjoy yourself. Ta-ta!

0:20:210:20:23

-Dave pops into the

-arts, crafts and technology tent...

0:20:270:20:31

-..where he meets local carpenter,

-Neil Wyn Jones.

0:20:320:20:35

-Neil, a Welsh learner, created

-this year's Urdd Eisteddfod chair.

0:20:350:20:40

-Good morning, Neil. I'm Dave.

0:20:410:20:43

-You made this year's

-Urdd Eisteddfod bardic chair.

0:20:450:20:48

-Yes, that's right.

0:20:550:20:56

-I was given the honour

-of creating the chair.

0:20:560:21:00

-This is a photo of the chair.

0:21:000:21:02

-Hopefully, the winning bard

-will sit in it this afternoon.

0:21:030:21:08

-I'm really excited to be here

-to see the ceremony today.

0:21:120:21:16

-You work as a carpenter, don't you?

0:21:160:21:20

-Yes. I'm a carpenter.

0:21:200:21:22

-Like you, I've learned Welsh.

0:21:250:21:28

-I also work as a Welsh tutor now.

0:21:290:21:31

-I teach Welsh in Flintshire

-and in Wrexham.

0:21:330:21:36

-In night classes?

0:21:360:21:38

-Yes, in night classes

-and during the day.

0:21:380:21:42

-I also have a class on the Wirral.

0:21:420:21:44

-I also have a class on the Wirral.

-

-Really? On the Wirral?

0:21:440:21:46

-People there are taking up Welsh?

0:21:460:21:49

-It's no surprise really.

0:21:490:21:51

-People who live across the border

-are starting to learn the language.

0:21:550:22:00

-There are Welsh groups

-in Shrewsbury...

0:22:010:22:04

-..and somewhere in the north.

0:22:050:22:08

-They use Say Something In Welsh.

0:22:100:22:13

-Welsh learners all over the world

-use Say Something In Welsh.

0:22:150:22:20

-It was nice to meet you, Neil.

0:22:210:22:23

-I hope someone brilliant

-wins the chair today.

0:22:260:22:30

-Me too. Fingers crossed.

0:22:320:22:35

-OK. Good.

0:22:370:22:39

-OK. Good.

-

-Nice to meet you too.

0:22:390:22:40

-In the learners' tent,

-Dave chatted to Megan Elias...

0:22:440:22:48

-..the winner

-of the Learners' Medal this year.

0:22:480:22:51

-Good morning.

0:22:520:22:53

-Did you learn Welsh

-as a second language?

0:22:550:22:58

-Where do you come from originally?

0:22:590:23:02

-Where do you come from originally?

-

-Old Colwyn, which is in Colwyn Bay.

0:23:020:23:05

-Why did you learn Welsh?

0:23:060:23:09

-I learned Welsh as a second language

-when I was at school.

0:23:120:23:16

-I studied Welsh as a second language

-to A Level standard.

0:23:170:23:21

-I decided to keep learning Welsh

-at university.

0:23:230:23:27

-Two years ago, when the

-Urdd Eisteddfod was held in Bala...

0:23:290:23:34

-..I visited the maes for a day.

0:23:340:23:38

-By the end of that day, I had a

-feeling that I should learn Welsh.

0:23:380:23:43

-I had a sense that I was

-meant to become fluent in Welsh...

0:23:440:23:48

-..and live my life

-through the medium of Welsh.

0:23:480:23:51

-Great.

0:23:510:23:53

-You speak Welsh really well.

0:23:530:23:55

-You're fluent.

0:23:560:23:57

-You're fluent.

-

-Thank you.

0:23:570:23:59

-I'd have assumed

-Welsh was your first language.

0:24:010:24:05

-Thank you.

0:24:080:24:10

-It's great. Well done.

0:24:100:24:12

-What sort of experience

-was winning the Learners' Medal?

0:24:130:24:17

-It was incredible.

-I was really nervous.

0:24:200:24:23

-I didn't know who'd won it

-until the ceremony itself.

0:24:230:24:28

-Congratulations.

0:24:290:24:30

-Congratulations.

-

-Thank you.

0:24:300:24:31

-It was incredible.

0:24:320:24:33

-I was crying.

0:24:330:24:35

-It was really emotional.

0:24:350:24:37

-It was a proud moment

-for you and your family.

0:24:380:24:41

-My family and friends

-came to support me.

0:24:420:24:45

-Thank you very much for the chat.

0:24:460:24:48

-Thank you very much for the chat.

-

-Thank you.

0:24:480:24:50

-Congratulations again

-for winning the medal.

0:24:500:24:53

-Thank you very much.

0:24:530:24:55

-Thank you.

0:24:550:24:56

-Cheers.

0:24:570:24:58

-How are things, Dave? Are you OK?

0:25:050:25:08

-Did you have a tasty lunch?

0:25:080:25:10

-Yes.

0:25:100:25:12

-Are you ready for your next job?

0:25:130:25:15

-I have some stickers here to promote

-the Bridgend Urdd Eisteddfod.

0:25:150:25:20

-I want you and Mabon

-to go around the maes...

0:25:200:25:23

-..handing out these stickers

-to promote next year's eisteddfod.

0:25:230:25:28

-Alright.

0:25:290:25:30

-Alright.

-

-Here you are, boys. Off you go!

0:25:300:25:32

0:26:000:26:03

0:26:060:26:08

-There you go.

0:26:080:26:09

-There you go.

-

-Thank you.

0:26:090:26:11

-How many stickers

-have you managed to get rid of?

0:26:110:26:15

-Three.

0:26:150:26:16

-Three.

-

-Ha, ha! Five.

0:26:160:26:18

-Thank you.

0:26:180:26:19

-Thank you.

-

-Thank you.

0:26:190:26:21

-Are you learning Welsh? Keep going.

0:26:210:26:23

-Are you learning Welsh? Keep going.

-

-I try.

0:26:230:26:25

-Fantastic! Keep going.

0:26:250:26:27

-Would you like a sticker?

0:26:280:26:29

-It's a bit heavy.

0:26:300:26:32

-It's a bit heavy.

-

-Have another one.

0:26:320:26:33

-I'm not sure I can manage three.

-They're really heavy.

0:26:350:26:39

-Would you like to wear our sticker?

0:26:400:26:43

-Yes.

0:26:430:26:44

0:26:440:26:46

-And one for you.

0:26:470:26:48

-Thank you.

0:26:490:26:50

-Thank you. Goodbye.

0:26:510:26:53

-Thank you.

0:26:540:26:55

-Excuse me. Hiya.

0:26:560:26:57

-We're trying to promote

-the Urdd Eisteddfod...

0:26:580:27:02

-..which will be held

-in Bridgend next year.

0:27:020:27:06

-Would you like some stickers?

0:27:080:27:10

-Thank you very much. Cheers.

0:27:170:27:19

-Thank you very much. Cheers.

-

-See you next year.

0:27:190:27:20

-Hello and welcome back.

0:27:220:27:23

0:27:240:27:26

-How many do you have left?

0:27:260:27:28

-Would you like a sticker?

0:27:280:27:30

-Would you like a sticker?

-

-One sticker for me.

0:27:300:27:32

-Thank you, Dave.

0:27:320:27:33

-Have you finished?

0:27:330:27:35

-You've finished your work.

-Well done.

0:27:360:27:39

-I enjoyed the experience of

-going around the maes with Dave...

0:27:460:27:50

-..and teaching him some new things.

0:27:510:27:53

-It's nice that he leaves knowing

-more about the Urdd Eisteddfod...

0:27:540:27:58

-..than he knew yesterday.

0:27:590:28:00

-I love meeting people who make

-such an effort to learn Welsh...

0:28:010:28:05

-..and to learn about our culture.

0:28:050:28:08

-He's gone to the trouble

-of making a huge effort...

0:28:080:28:12

-..and he's really enthusiastic,

-which is wonderful to see.

0:28:120:28:16

-Spending time with someone like Dave

-is a positive experience.

0:28:160:28:21

-I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

0:28:220:28:25

-Some parts of the second day

-have been difficult.

0:28:300:28:35

-I had to try to cope with speaking

-nothing but Welsh all the time...

0:28:380:28:42

-..and speaking Welsh to everyone

-all day long.

0:28:430:28:47

-If I want to make progress

-with my Welsh...

0:28:530:28:56

-..I have to make

-even more of an effort to speak it.

0:28:560:29:00

-I've arranged to meet the

-Rees family in Liverpool tomorrow.

0:29:070:29:11

-The Rees family

-is staying in Birkenhead tonight.

0:29:130:29:17

-I'll meet them tomorrow...

0:29:210:29:24

-..to act as a tour guide for them

-around the city.

0:29:290:29:32

-I think my spoken Welsh

-is a little bit better...

0:29:380:29:41

-..after this experience.

0:29:420:29:45

-This is a series about horses.

0:29:560:29:58

-Ponies, people and horseshoes.

0:29:580:30:01

-From excitement to hooves,

-from fields to shows.

0:30:020:30:06

-It's an exciting, equine feast.

0:30:060:30:09

-The Fayre Oaks Pony Sale

-was established in the 1950s.

0:30:340:30:37

-It was held under a row of oak trees

-on a farm near Hereford.

0:30:380:30:42

-The Royal Welsh Showground

-is the sale's home these days.

0:30:420:30:46

-People flock here from

-around the world to do two things.

0:30:460:30:50

-Buy and sell ponies.

0:30:500:30:52

-The Jones family lives here,

-on Coed Y Rhygen farm, Trawsfynydd.

0:31:130:31:18

-Dei and Shan

-and their daughters, Dora and Eleri.

0:31:190:31:22

-Arian's bloodline

-is strong and successful.

0:31:230:31:27

-The sire, Lacy Buzbee and

-the mother, Bryndansi Muffin...

0:31:270:31:31

-..were both champions.

0:31:310:31:32

-Her sisters, who include Asbri,

-Dora and Ania were very successful.

0:31:330:31:38

-The sire, Lacy Buzbee, was sold

-at the High-Flyer in 2009...

0:31:380:31:42

-..for the amazing price of 9,200.

0:31:420:31:45

-The difference between the

-High-Flyer and the day auction...

0:31:470:31:51

-..is the horses are handpicked

-by the auctioneers, Brightwells.

0:31:510:31:57

-This is Islyn Arian.

0:32:040:32:05

-You've put a lot of work

-into preparing her.

0:32:050:32:08

-She looks lovely.

0:32:080:32:10

-Thank you, David.

0:32:100:32:12

-Just washing her

-involved a lot of work.

0:32:120:32:15

-She's never been shown,

-so we worked hard to polish her up.

0:32:150:32:19

-She's in foal.

0:32:250:32:26

-She's in foal.

-

-Yes. I scanned her.

0:32:260:32:27

-She's carrying

-a foal sired by Lacy Brigadier...

0:32:280:32:31

-..who's a well-known stallion.

0:32:310:32:34

-Will that be

-an additional selling point?

0:32:340:32:37

-Yes, I think so,

-plus it shows she breeds regularly.

0:32:370:32:41

-She's genuine in that sense.

0:32:410:32:43

-Arian is special to you, Eleri.

0:32:440:32:47

-Yes.

0:32:470:32:48

-When I qualified as a vet

-ten years ago...

0:32:490:32:52

-..my parents gave me a pick

-of their mares and I chose this one.

0:32:540:32:59

-She was my present from them

-for qualifying as a vet.

0:33:000:33:03

-She has a real

-sentimental value to me.

0:33:040:33:07

-The more I think about it,

-the less I want to sell her...

0:33:100:33:14

-..for many reasons.

0:33:140:33:15

-She's going to auction, so you have

-no control over who buys her.

0:33:160:33:20

-What are your thoughts on the type

-of home you'd prefer her to go to?

0:33:220:33:27

-Obviously,

-when you take a pony to auction...

0:33:270:33:30

-..you can't choose its new home.

0:33:300:33:33

-But I'd like her to go to

-people who are serious breeders...

0:33:330:33:37

-..so that she continues to be

-a brood mare.

0:33:370:33:41

-I hope she's covered

-by a good stallion...

0:33:420:33:45

-..and produces good foals

-for her new owners.

0:33:450:33:49

-I'd also like her to be shown.

0:33:490:33:52

-She wasn't shown by us,

-although she should have been.

0:33:530:33:57

-It would be interesting

-to see her being shown.

0:33:570:34:00

-I hope they're kind people who are

-worthy owners of this lovely mare.

0:34:030:34:08

-People pay a lot of money

-for horses at this sale...

0:34:080:34:12

-..so we can rest assured she'll

-receive good care in her new home.

0:34:140:34:18

-I'll keep an eye on her progress.

0:34:180:34:21

-We'll see Islyn Arian at the

-High-Flyer with David a bit later.

0:34:300:34:35

-In the meantime, the Fayre Oaks Sale

-is very busy.

0:34:360:34:39

-The first of the three horses

-we're following to be sold...

0:34:440:34:48

-..is Maesgwyn Highmark.

0:34:490:34:50

-I visited Llwynhywel Stud, Llanilar,

-before the sale to meet the family.

0:34:510:34:56

-This family business

-specializes in cobs...

0:34:590:35:02

-..but they keep

-some Section A horses too.

0:35:030:35:05

-It's run by Irwel, Jane and

-their daughters, Esyllt and Sian.

0:35:060:35:10

-Sian will sell the stallion,

-Maesgwyn Highmark.

0:35:120:35:15

-Highmark was a champion

-at the Royal Welsh...

0:35:180:35:21

-..with his former owner,

-Lewis Edwards, Maesgwyn.

0:35:210:35:25

-His mother, Maesgwyn Highball...

0:35:250:35:28

-..was a Royal Welsh

-and Winter Fair champion.

0:35:280:35:31

-Describe his character.

0:35:350:35:37

-Describe his character.

-

-He's gentle.

0:35:370:35:39

-He can be out with mares and foals

-and he won't do them any harm.

0:35:390:35:43

-He's really good.

0:35:430:35:45

-The boys jump on his back

-and it's not a problem.

0:35:460:35:50

-He hasn't been broken in.

0:35:500:35:52

-He's lovely, fair play to him.

0:35:530:35:55

-Don't chew me!

0:35:560:35:57

-What's his background?

0:35:580:36:00

-He came

-from the mare Maesgwyn Highball.

0:36:000:36:03

-She won Female and Supreme Champion

-Section A in 2010.

0:36:030:36:08

-The same year

-as Highmark won a title.

0:36:080:36:11

-Good stock.

0:36:120:36:14

-Are you looking forward to the sale?

0:36:150:36:17

-Are you looking forward to the sale?

-

-Yes.

0:36:170:36:19

-I hope we get

-the best possible price for him.

0:36:190:36:23

-How much do you have in mind?

0:36:250:36:27

-Ask me whether or not I'm pleased

-on Saturday!

0:36:270:36:30

-Things are hotting up at the sale.

0:36:410:36:44

-Everyone's keen

-to show off their horses' qualities.

0:36:440:36:48

-Sian, it's nearly time.

-How do you feel?

0:36:500:36:53

-Nervous.

0:36:550:36:56

-You're always going to be nervous.

-You hope he goes to a good home.

0:36:560:37:01

-You hope for the best price too.

0:37:020:37:04

-I'll see how I feel when I get out

-but I'll be sad to see him go.

0:37:070:37:11

-You'll be sad to see him go?

0:37:110:37:13

-You'll be sad to see him go?

-

-Yes.

0:37:130:37:14

-Highmark is the first horse

-to go under the hammer.

0:37:180:37:22

-The sale's about to start.

0:37:220:37:24

-Sian's in the ring

-and Irwel, her father, is with me.

0:37:240:37:28

-This is a stressful time for you.

0:37:290:37:31

-Yes, you never know what sort

-of money you're going to make...

0:37:310:37:35

-..until that hammer falls.

0:37:360:37:38

-There's a lot of interest in him.

0:37:380:37:41

-Sian and Esyllt are working hard

-to sell their stallion.

0:37:430:37:47

-They bought him at this fair in 2010

-for over 2,000.

0:37:480:37:52

-It's going up.

0:37:540:37:55

-It's still going.

0:37:580:37:59

-That's 2,300.

0:38:050:38:06

-That means you're in profit.

0:38:120:38:14

-Yes, and it may not be over yet.

0:38:140:38:16

-He's still going. That's 2,400.

0:38:190:38:21

-Sold for 2,500.

0:38:270:38:29

-Is that a good day for you?

0:38:310:38:33

-Is that a good day for you?

-

-Yes. I wish every day was like this!

0:38:330:38:36

-Shay Price from Llandyfaelog

-bought Maesgwyn Highmark for 2,500.

0:38:380:38:42

-A respectable price,

-and more than they paid for him.

0:38:430:38:47

-Join us after the break to find out

-what Ormond Ella will fetch.

0:38:540:38:58

-We'll also see

-..in the High-Flyer.

-We focus on Fayre Oaks Sale,

-at the Royal Welsh Showground...

0:39:240:39:27

-..in this episode of Ceffylau Cymru.

0:39:280:39:31

-Following the recession,

-buying and selling is improving...

0:39:320:39:37

-..and preparations are hotting up.

0:39:370:39:40

-The next filly

-has a very short history...

0:39:400:39:43

-..but she has a long bloodline

-and a beautiful face.

0:39:430:39:47

-This is Ormond Ella.

0:39:470:39:49

-Next, the story of Ormond Ella...

0:39:510:39:54

-..and her owner,

-Richard Morgan from Cwmann.

0:39:540:39:58

-Richard is the fourth generation

-of his family to work with ponies.

0:39:590:40:04

-When Sam Morgan, his father,

-passed away...

0:40:040:40:07

-..Richard reintroduced

-the name Ormond...

0:40:070:40:11

-..which Samuel Davies, his

-great-grandfather, had established.

0:40:110:40:15

-Ormond Ella's bloodline stems from

-the Tiffwyl and Baledon studs.

0:40:160:40:21

-Ormond Buttercup, her half-sister...

0:40:210:40:24

-..was sold for 700

-at Fayre Oaks in 2010.

0:40:240:40:28

-You'll sell her on Saturday.

0:40:290:40:31

-What are your hopes?

0:40:310:40:33

-She's a nice filly.

0:40:350:40:37

-A lot of people must wonder

-why we're selling her.

0:40:370:40:40

-There are several reasons.

0:40:410:40:43

-You can't have it all.

0:40:450:40:46

-Horses cost money to keep.

0:40:490:40:50

-I'm renting land,

-so I have to find money for that.

0:40:510:40:54

-If she makes a bit of money,

-it will cover my costs.

0:40:550:40:59

-How much do you hope to get?

0:41:000:41:02

-That's a good question.

0:41:020:41:04

-It depends how it goes on the day.

0:41:040:41:07

-I'd like to get 500 and above.

0:41:070:41:09

-We'll see.

0:41:090:41:11

-You don't often see

-a filly like this.

0:41:140:41:17

-She has a nice colour

-and four white socks.

0:41:170:41:20

-And her eyes.

0:41:210:41:22

-She has good eyes.

0:41:230:41:25

-I remember my father always said...

0:41:260:41:29

-..a horse should have eyes

-which you could cut off with an axe.

0:41:290:41:34

-They should stick out so much,

-you could cut them off.

0:41:360:41:40

-It's important

-that a pony has good eyes.

0:41:410:41:44

-How does it feel to let a pony go?

0:41:440:41:47

-It's not a nice situation

-to be in...

0:41:470:41:51

-..but if you at least know

-that she's gone to a good place...

0:41:520:41:57

-..you're not worried any more.

0:41:570:41:59

-It's very important.

0:42:000:42:02

-It's easy to collect them

-but hard to let them go.

0:42:030:42:07

-Yes, it's very difficult.

0:42:070:42:10

-You feed them morning and night, you

-brush them and you get to know them.

0:42:110:42:16

-My father always said once they've

-gone around the corner, forget them.

0:42:170:42:23

-That's the way it's got to be.

0:42:240:42:26

-How are the nerves now?

0:42:310:42:33

-How are the nerves now?

-

-Not good.

0:42:330:42:34

-I hate this time.

0:42:340:42:36

-I used to play rugby and this

-feels like just before kick-off.

0:42:360:42:40

-The nerves jangled

-and I needed the loo.

0:42:410:42:43

-If there was a loo here,

-I'd be in there now!

0:42:440:42:47

-Here we are.

0:42:490:42:50

-Ormond Ella is in the ring.

0:42:500:42:52

-Catrin Reid shows the filly

-on Richard's behalf.

0:42:520:42:56

-He's selling her.

0:43:040:43:05

-500? 500?

0:43:090:43:10

-500? 200 anywhere?

0:43:120:43:15

-200, 250, 300, 350.

0:43:160:43:21

-200, 250, 300, 350.

-

-And we're off!

0:43:210:43:22

-400 - lady's bid.

0:43:230:43:24

-450 - gentleman's bid.

-500 - lady's bid.

0:43:250:43:29

-500 I'm bid, to the lady.

-500 I've got.

0:43:290:43:32

-500 and sold against you, sir.

0:43:320:43:35

-550, 600 on top.

0:43:350:43:37

-650 below.

0:43:370:43:38

-650 below.

-

-It's shooting up.

0:43:380:43:40

-650 now.

0:43:430:43:44

-700 got. 800 there.

0:43:450:43:47

-900. Gentleman's bid.

0:43:480:43:51

-900 I've got,

-against the man in the stands.

0:43:530:43:56

-900 and this very smart filly

-is sold.

0:43:590:44:02

-Richard, how do you feel?

0:44:050:44:07

-Magic. Magic moments.

-I'm happy with that.

0:44:070:44:10

-A few hundred more than I expected.

0:44:110:44:13

-I'm happy. Good.

0:44:140:44:15

-She made 900,

-so I wanted to hit 1,000.

0:44:170:44:19

-That was asking a bit too much.

0:44:200:44:22

-Congratulations.

0:44:220:44:23

-A success for Richard...

0:44:260:44:28

-..and a new home for Ormond Ella

-with Meirion Evans, Gwynfaes.

0:44:280:44:32

-What sort of day have you had?

0:44:380:44:39

-What sort of day have you had?

-

-A day in my comfort zone.

0:44:390:44:41

-I'm with people

-whose company I enjoy.

0:44:410:44:44

-There are ponies everywhere

-and a friendly atmosphere.

0:44:440:44:47

-Yes. The sun shone

-and the farmers were generous.

0:44:480:44:51

-The evening sale is about to start.

0:44:520:44:54

-Expectations are high and the

-standard of the horses is amazing.

0:44:540:44:59

-I've dressed smartly to join them.

0:45:020:45:04

-I've dressed smartly to join them.

-

-He's a high-flyer!

0:45:040:45:05

-Eleri is in the ring

-and Islyn Arian looks magnificent.

0:45:130:45:17

-The price climbs to 1,200

-but we're off to a slow start.

0:45:230:45:27

-1,200, 1,400.

0:45:290:45:31

-1,600, 1,800, 2,000.

0:45:320:45:35

-The price is going up.

0:45:390:45:40

-It's up to 2,500.

0:45:400:45:43

-2,600.

0:45:440:45:46

-2,600.

-

-There's a bid from here.

0:45:460:45:47

-2,700.

0:45:480:45:50

-It gets to 2,700

-and bidding grinds to a halt.

0:45:510:45:55

-Come on! Beautiful.

0:45:550:45:57

-2,700.

0:45:570:45:58

-Bids haven't yet

-reached the reserve price.

0:46:010:46:05

-3,000.

0:46:110:46:13

-Come on. It's very cheap.

0:46:130:46:15

-The price climbs to 3,000

-and the hammer falls.

0:46:160:46:21

-Sold at 3,000.

0:46:230:46:25

-It was an emotional night

-for Eleri...

0:46:330:46:36

-..but she's glad to see Arian

-go to the famous Penech Stud...

0:46:360:46:40

-..under Brian Thompson.

0:46:410:46:42

-You purchased Islyn Arian

-and you've got yourself a good mare.

0:46:450:46:49

-Yes, and a nice bloodline

-to have in the stud.

0:46:490:46:52

-Will you use her as a brood mare

-or a show mare?

0:46:530:46:56

-She'll do a bit of showing...

0:46:560:46:58

-..but mainly for breeding, to bring

-a different line into the stud.

0:46:580:47:02

-Where will she be going?

0:47:020:47:04

-Where will she be going?

-

-To Lancashire.

0:47:040:47:06

-She'll have a lovely home.

0:47:060:47:08

-Good luck.

0:47:090:47:10

-Good luck.

-

-Thank you.

0:47:100:47:11

-It's the end of a long day

-for you as a family.

0:47:120:47:15

-How do you feel?

0:47:150:47:17

-Tired.

0:47:170:47:18

-Yes, we're tired

-but we're glad things went well.

0:47:190:47:22

-Most importantly,

-the mare has a wonderful new home...

0:47:220:47:26

-..with people we know well.

0:47:260:47:28

-She'll stay in this country

-and she'll be shown next year.

0:47:290:47:33

-We got everything we'd hoped for.

0:47:330:47:35

-Eleri, you were quiet

-before the sale.

0:47:360:47:39

-You seem happier now.

0:47:390:47:41

-I'm relieved

-she's gone to a good home.

0:47:410:47:44

-You never know who'll buy your horse

-in a sale.

0:47:440:47:47

-She's going to a fantastic place

-and she'll be shown.

0:47:470:47:51

-I've already told him

-I'm going to keep in touch!
