-My name is Debora Morgante.

0:00:290:00:31

-I come from Rome...

0:00:310:00:33

-..and I've been learning Welsh

-for three and a half years.

0:00:330:00:37

-I adore the language

-and I'm in love with Wales.

0:00:370:00:40

-Every time I visit, I use my Welsh.

0:00:410:00:43

-Of course,

-I have to speak English at times...

0:00:430:00:47

-..but I won't have to do that

-for the next two days...

0:00:470:00:50

-..as I spend two days

-with the Llewelyn Williams family...

0:00:510:00:55

-..at Bryn Caled, near Bala.

0:00:560:00:58

-For help to follow the programme,

-use the website and the app...

0:01:010:01:06

0:01:060:01:09

-Hello.

0:01:190:01:21

-My name is Debora

-and I come from Italy.

0:01:210:01:24

-I come from Tuscany originally...

0:01:240:01:27

-..but I moved to Rome

-when I was four years old.

0:01:270:01:30

-I work here, in a small village

-called Ostia Antica.

0:01:300:01:35

-It's a 16th century village.

0:01:370:01:40

-I work in a bank

-from Monday to Friday.

0:01:410:01:44

-I come here every lunchtime

-to read my Welsh books and novels.

0:01:450:01:50

-I'm married to Max.

0:01:520:01:54

-He's sitting in the shade

-at the moment.

0:01:540:01:57

-I decided to learn Welsh in 2012...

0:02:070:02:10

-..after I'd spent a short holiday

-in Wales with a friend.

0:02:100:02:15

-I listened to people

-speaking Welsh on the street...

0:02:190:02:23

-..and I asked some of them how

-I should pronounce some place names.

0:02:230:02:29

-I was interested to learn about the

-Welsh language and Welsh culture.

0:02:290:02:35

-We're the Llewelyn Williams family

-from Bryn Caled, Llanuwchllyn.

0:02:420:02:47

-This is Gareth, my husband.

0:02:470:02:49

-This is Gareth, my husband.

-

-Good morning.

0:02:490:02:50

-We have three children.

0:02:500:02:52

-Aron, who's 15 years old.

0:02:520:02:54

-In my spare time,

-I spend time with our horses.

0:02:550:02:58

-We keep some here...

0:02:590:03:00

-..and some at my grandmother's house

-at Moelgarnedd, Bala.

0:03:000:03:04

-We enter them in shows across the

-country, including The Royal Welsh.

0:03:050:03:10

-We'll take two there this year.

0:03:100:03:12

-Rhys is 13 years old.

0:03:130:03:16

-I like cars, hens and singing.

0:03:160:03:19

-I started off with six hens

-two years ago...

0:03:190:03:22

-..but I recently

-added another 26 to my brood.

0:03:220:03:25

-I now have a total of 31 hens.

0:03:260:03:28

-I hope to create a little business

-out of selling eggs...

0:03:280:03:32

-..just like my grandfather.

0:03:320:03:34

-That's how he started his business.

0:03:340:03:37

-He sold eggs.

0:03:380:03:40

-Nel is our youngest and she's 11.

0:03:430:03:46

-I like horse riding and singing.

0:03:470:03:50

-I'm in a band called Y Storm.

0:03:500:03:52

-It will be nice to have Debora

-come and see us play...

0:03:540:03:58

-..because she plays the bass

-in her own band.

0:03:580:04:01

-We have holiday cottages here.

0:04:030:04:06

-We converted the cowsheds

-into holiday cottages.

0:04:070:04:10

-We also own caravan parks

-and a holiday park in Bala.

0:04:110:04:14

-I hope what Debora

-gets out of this experience...

0:04:150:04:18

-..is she sees it is possible to

-live your life completely in Welsh.

0:04:190:04:24

-She'll also see

-that Welsh is alive...

0:04:280:04:30

-..and is the natural language

-of this area.

0:04:300:04:33

-Good morning.

0:04:350:04:36

-Good morning.

0:04:370:04:39

-Welcome to Bryn Caled.

0:04:390:04:41

-Meet the family.

0:04:410:04:42

-I'm Gareth and this is Aron.

0:04:430:04:45

-That's Rhys and Nel.

0:04:460:04:48

-Hello.

0:04:490:04:50

-How was your journey?

0:04:500:04:51

-How was your journey?

-

-Good, thanks.

0:04:510:04:53

-How long have you been in Wales?

0:04:530:04:55

-How long have you been in Wales?

-

-For a week.

0:04:550:04:57

-I'm sitting

-my Higher Welsh exam in Bangor.

0:04:570:05:01

-I had an oral exam yesterday

-and today, here I am!

0:05:010:05:05

-It's a very exciting holiday for me.

0:05:070:05:10

-Fantastic! Your Welsh is excellent.

0:05:110:05:14

-I hope you have a good time with us.

0:05:150:05:16

-I hope you have a good time with us.

-

-Yes. Welcome.

0:05:160:05:18

-The first job is to help Sioned

-with one of the holiday cottages.

0:05:190:05:24

-They're getting it ready

-for the next visitors.

0:05:240:05:27

-There are so many things in Wales

-that I want to see.

0:05:290:05:33

-I discover something new

-every time I come here.

0:05:330:05:36

-It's incredible.

0:05:380:05:39

-People always say that

-the people who live in this area...

0:05:410:05:45

-..speak Welsh really quickly.

0:05:450:05:47

-I keep forgetting

-that you're learning Welsh.

0:05:480:05:51

-If I speak too quickly,

-just tell me.

0:05:530:05:55

-Yes, I'll tell you.

0:05:560:05:57

-At the moment, everything's fine.

0:05:570:06:00

-At the moment, everything's fine.

-

-Everything's fine? OK.

0:06:000:06:02

-Look at that view!

0:06:050:06:06

-What are those mountains called?

0:06:060:06:09

-What are those mountains called?

-

-Yes, it's a lovely view.

0:06:090:06:11

-In front of us, in that cloud,

-is the Aran.

0:06:110:06:15

-There's a nice walk which takes you

-from the village of Llanuwchllyn...

0:06:150:06:20

-..up to the mountains.

0:06:210:06:23

-Do you see that wind turbine?

0:06:230:06:26

-Do you see that wind turbine?

-

-Yes.

0:06:260:06:27

-You walk up that first hill,

-which is called Garth Bach.

0:06:270:06:31

-You walk to the bigger mountain,

-which is called Garth Mawr.

0:06:330:06:38

-That path takes you

-to the peak of the Aran.

0:06:380:06:42

-Have you walked

-to the peak of Aran many times?

0:06:430:06:46

-I've only walked

-right up to the summit once.

0:06:470:06:52

-We often go for a walk

-over Garth Bach and Garth Mawr.

0:06:520:06:56

-Ellie, this is Debs.

0:06:570:06:59

-Hello.

0:06:590:07:00

-Debs comes from Rome.

0:07:010:07:02

-Ellie is learning Welsh.

0:07:040:07:06

-How long have you been learning?

0:07:060:07:09

-How long have you been learning?

-

-Since August.

0:07:090:07:10

-Less than a year?

0:07:110:07:12

-Less than a year?

-

-Yes.

0:07:120:07:14

-Ellie's Welsh is excellent.

0:07:140:07:16

-She also texts in Welsh,

-and posts on Facebook in Welsh.

0:07:160:07:21

-I sing in Welsh too!

0:07:230:07:25

-I sing in Welsh too!

-

-Yes - you're an excellent singer.

0:07:250:07:27

-How do you make time

-to do everything?

0:07:290:07:31

-You take care of your children,

-you sing, you work...

0:07:320:07:36

-..and you learn Welsh.

0:07:370:07:38

-I'm very busy.

0:07:390:07:40

-Yes, and she's still happy!

0:07:430:07:45

-Yes, and she's still happy!

-

-Yes - I can see she's smiling.

0:07:450:07:47

-Congratulations.

0:07:470:07:49

-Debs and I have cleaned the windows.

0:07:500:07:53

-Thank you.

0:07:540:07:56

-We're going indoors

-to bake some bara brith.

0:07:580:08:01

-Oh, very nice.

0:08:010:08:02

-Oh, very nice.

-

-See you later. Thank you.

0:08:020:08:04

-Ta-ta!

0:08:050:08:06

-He helps his mother.

-He's such a good boy.

0:08:080:08:11

-Ta-ta!

0:08:130:08:14

-Sioned leaves a loaf of bara brith

-in the cottages for her guests.

0:08:170:08:22

-It looks unappetizing but

-it's actually bara brith mixture.

0:08:220:08:26

-Once it's cooked, I just wrap it

-in paper and it can last for a week.

0:08:290:08:34

-But not in this house!

-It gets eaten within half an hour.

0:08:350:08:39

-Do you put it in the fridge?

0:08:390:08:41

-Do you put it in the fridge?

-

-No. You can just leave it out.

0:08:410:08:43

-It's covered in paper.

0:08:440:08:46

-You don't fill it?

0:08:460:08:48

-You don't fill it?

-

-No.

0:08:480:08:49

-It grows in the oven.

0:08:490:08:51

-It grows in the oven.

-

-Yes - it expands.

0:08:510:08:52

-They'll take

-25 to 30 minutes to cook...

0:08:580:09:01

-..so let's pop to Bala

-with the washing.

0:09:010:09:05

-You're in Wales now!

-That's the wrong side.

0:09:110:09:14

-Unless you want to drive.

0:09:150:09:17

-The work is never-ending

-and they head to Bala...

0:09:170:09:20

-..to take dirty bed linen

-to the launderette.

0:09:210:09:24

-Jan does the washing.

0:09:240:09:26

-Oh! It's Uncle Dafydd.

0:09:270:09:28

-Oh! It's Uncle Dafydd.

-

-Good morning.

0:09:280:09:30

-This is my uncle, Debora.

0:09:300:09:32

-Good morning. Buongiorno.

0:09:320:09:34

-Come va?

0:09:340:09:36

-Come va?

-

-Bene grazie.

0:09:360:09:37

-Whereabouts in Italy are you from?

0:09:380:09:40

-Whereabouts in Italy are you from?

-

-I come from Rome.

0:09:400:09:41

-Ah! Roma.

0:09:420:09:43

-Vaticano. Michelangelo.

0:09:440:09:46

-Cappella Sistina.

0:09:460:09:47

-You know it well.

0:09:480:09:49

-You know it well.

-

-Not at all.

0:09:490:09:51

-Welcome. Molto bene.

0:09:520:09:54

-Let's take the laundry

-in through that door...

0:09:550:09:58

-..and head right to the back.

0:09:590:10:01

-Hello, Jan.

0:10:060:10:07

-Hiya, Jan. Are you OK?

0:10:070:10:08

-Hiya, Jan. Are you OK?

-

-Yes, thanks.

0:10:080:10:10

-This is Debs.

0:10:100:10:12

-Hello, Debs.

0:10:120:10:13

-Debs comes from Rome.

0:10:130:10:15

-Wow! How long have you been here?

0:10:160:10:19

-Wow! How long have you been here?

-

-Since last week.

0:10:190:10:20

-I'll go back home on Sunday.

0:10:200:10:23

-Have you enjoyed yourself?

0:10:230:10:25

-Yes, and I'd love to stay longer

-but I've got to go back to work.

0:10:270:10:31

-It's hard, isn't it?

0:10:320:10:33

-Your Welsh is miraculous.

0:10:340:10:36

-Your Welsh is miraculous.

-

-Isn't she incredible?

0:10:360:10:37

-Do you think us Welsh

-are similar to you Italians?

0:10:380:10:41

-We're really loud.

0:10:430:10:44

-We act and we sing.

0:10:460:10:48

-We act and we sing.

-

-Yes, and we talk with our hands.

0:10:480:10:50

-You sing a lot and so do we.

0:10:520:10:54

-I think we're very similar.

0:10:540:10:56

-The biggest difference between us

-is our weather.

0:10:560:11:00

-We'd better go.

0:11:020:11:03

-See you later.

0:11:040:11:06

-Alright.

0:11:060:11:08

-It was nice to meet you.

0:11:080:11:10

-It was nice to meet you.

-

-You too. Ta-ta!

0:11:100:11:11

-Back at Bryn Caled, Debora has

-a chat with Aron about the horses.

0:11:160:11:21

-When did you start breeding horses?

0:11:240:11:27

-My grandfather

-bred horses for many years.

0:11:270:11:30

-This is my fourth year

-of showing horses.

0:11:300:11:33

-I was 12

-when I started to show horses.

0:11:330:11:36

-During that time,

-I've had some good years...

0:11:370:11:40

-..and some years

-which could have been better.

0:11:410:11:45

-All in all, it's been excellent.

0:11:450:11:47

-Is this breed of horse

-famous beyond Wales?

0:11:490:11:52

-Yes, it's well known.

0:11:570:11:58

-The breed

-has even reached Australia.

0:11:590:12:01

-The Welsh Pony And Cob Society

-has members across the world...

0:12:020:12:06

-..from America

-to the rest of Europe...

0:12:070:12:11

-..and to countries

-as far away as Australia.

0:12:120:12:15

-Do you think something like this can

-help people learn more about Wales?

0:12:180:12:23

-Can it help people learn more

-about Welsh culture and agriculture?

0:12:230:12:28

-Yes, I think so.

0:12:310:12:32

-It's a Welsh horse...

0:12:320:12:34

-..and people know it

-as being a breed from Wales.

0:12:340:12:38

-That's especially true

-at the Royal Welsh...

0:12:380:12:41

-..which is one of the biggest

-horse shows in Europe...

0:12:420:12:46

-..if not the world.

0:12:470:12:49

-People flock there

-from around the globe.

0:12:490:12:52

-Is it a hobby or a future career?

0:12:520:12:55

-It's hard to do it professionally.

0:12:560:12:59

-There's very little money in it

-if you do it the way we do it.

0:13:000:13:04

-We don't make much money from it,

-so I need another career...

0:13:040:13:08

-..so I can invest in the horses.

0:13:080:13:11

-I think I'll keep it as a hobby...

0:13:120:13:14

-..and work elsewhere

-to make money to invest in it.

0:13:150:13:19

-Congratulations.

0:13:210:13:23

-You're already professional.

0:13:230:13:26

-You're already professional.

-

-Thank you very much.

0:13:260:13:27

-I like animals, of course.

0:13:310:13:33

-I was thrilled

-to be with the horses.

0:13:330:13:36

-I really enjoyed

-seeing them running on the land...

0:13:360:13:41

-..and learning more about them.

0:13:420:13:44

-In reality, I live in a big city...

0:13:450:13:47

-..and I'm not used to seeing horses

-very often.

0:13:480:13:52

-When Debora walked in

-this morning...

0:13:560:13:58

-..my first impression of her was

-that she was really enthusiastic...

0:13:590:14:04

-..and very keen

-to learn the language.

0:14:050:14:08

-We weren't sure

-how much Welsh she could speak.

0:14:100:14:13

-We had no idea

-what level she was at.

0:14:140:14:16

-It's incredible.

0:14:160:14:18

-You wouldn't think

-she was a learner.

0:14:190:14:22

-How long has she been learning?

-Only three or four years?

0:14:220:14:26

-Added to that, she lives in Italy.

0:14:260:14:29

-It's unbelievable.

0:14:290:14:30

-When you learn a language,

-you do it by reading books.

0:14:320:14:36

-You learn a language

-in a totally academic way.

0:14:360:14:40

-After a certain amount of time,

-you need a real life situation...

0:14:410:14:45

-..where you can

-practice the language...

0:14:460:14:49

-..with people who speak that

-language in their everyday lives.

0:14:490:14:55

-That's especially important to me...

0:14:550:14:58

-..because I rarely get a chance

-to practice the language at home.

0:14:580:15:03

-It's incredibly good for me

-to have an experience like this.

0:15:050:15:10

-Tomorrow, Debora will go

-to the band rehearsal with Nel.

0:15:120:15:16

-They rehearse at Drws Cae'r Gwenyn,

-which is just a few fields away.

0:15:160:15:21

-She'll also

-see the hens with Rhys...

0:15:220:15:25

-..and we'll have a barbecue

-at the end of the afternoon.

0:15:250:15:29

-Yes, so we're praying

-for sunny weather.

0:16:200:16:24

-Thank you.

0:16:240:16:25

-When did you start playing together?

0:16:260:16:29

-When did you start playing together?

-

-When we were in Year 4.

0:16:290:16:31

-Some people were going to secondary

-school and they had to leave.

0:16:310:16:36

-This has been the line-up

-since last year.

0:16:370:16:40

-Do you perform often?

-Do you play lots of gigs?

0:16:410:16:45

-Yes, we've played a lot of gigs.

0:16:450:16:48

-Our biggest gig was in Cannock,

-in front of 12,000 people.

0:16:480:16:53

-Wow!

0:16:540:16:56

-It would be a dream come true for me

-to play in front of a huge crowd.

0:16:560:17:01

-Have you recorded a CD?

0:17:020:17:04

-Yes, we recorded a CD last year.

0:17:050:17:08

-The three songs on it

-are Coch Gwyn A Gwyrdd...

0:17:080:17:11

-..Cadno Coch and Tegid Foel.

0:17:110:17:13

-What sort of music do you play?

0:17:140:17:16

-Rock?

0:17:180:17:19

-Rock?

-

-Yes - rock.

0:17:190:17:20

-Can I play a bit of guitar with you?

0:17:210:17:24

-Yes. Why not?

0:17:250:17:26

-Yes. Why not?

-

-Thank you. It'll be great.

0:18:180:18:19

-You're busy. What's happening?

0:18:200:18:22

-You're busy. What's happening?

-

-I look busier than I really am!

0:18:220:18:25

-As it's lovely and sunny,

-let's have a barbecue.

0:18:270:18:30

-A barbecue is a good idea.

0:18:300:18:32

-Brilliant.

0:18:330:18:35

-You've got a car, so will you

-go to Joe's shop in Bala...

0:18:350:18:39

-..to collect the meat?

0:18:390:18:41

-I've ordered burgers and sausages.

0:18:410:18:44

-Perfect.

0:18:440:18:45

-Perfect.

-

-OK. See you later.

0:18:450:18:46

-Hello.

0:18:550:18:56

-Hello.

-

-Can I help you?

0:18:560:18:58

-I'm Italian and I'm learning Welsh.

0:18:580:19:00

-I'm Italian and I'm learning Welsh.

-

-Excellent. Welcome.

0:19:000:19:02

-I'm staying with the Llewelyn

-Williams family at Bryn Caled.

0:19:020:19:07

-We're having a barbecue tonight...

0:19:070:19:09

-..so I think I need to buy

-something to eat.

0:19:100:19:13

-We need 20 burgers and 30 sausages.

0:19:150:19:19

-We need 20 burgers and 30 sausages.

-

-No problem.

0:19:190:19:21

-Thin sausages, please.

0:19:230:19:24

-Thin? Fine.

0:19:240:19:26

-Do you have any halloumi?

0:19:270:19:29

-Yes, I have some halloumi.

0:19:290:19:31

-Thank you.

0:19:320:19:33

-One halloumi.

0:19:360:19:37

-One halloumi.

-

-Perfect. How much do I owe you?

0:19:370:19:39

-I'll work it out for you.

0:19:390:19:41

-I'll work it out for you.

-

-Thank you.

0:19:410:19:42

-Thank you very much.

0:19:430:19:44

-Thank you very much.

-

-No problem. Thank you.

0:19:440:19:46

-Ta-ta!

0:19:470:19:48

-Hello, Rhys.

0:19:530:19:55

-Would you like to see the hens?

0:19:560:19:58

-Would you like to see the hens?

-

-Yes, of course.

0:19:580:19:59

-Come with me.

0:19:590:20:01

-The hens live here.

0:20:060:20:08

-My new, red hens live here.

0:20:090:20:11

-There are six of those

-and they're laying very well.

0:20:130:20:17

-The red ones are called Warrens.

0:20:170:20:20

-I've got 26 new Warrens but they're

-too young to lay eggs at the moment.

0:20:220:20:27

-How old must a hen be

-before it will lay eggs?

0:20:270:20:31

-Somewhere around 24 weeks.

0:20:330:20:35

-These ones are older than that

-but it also depends on the weather.

0:20:350:20:40

-Really?

0:20:410:20:43

-When it's sunny, they don't like to

-lay eggs because it's too hot.

0:20:430:20:49

-They don't like to lay eggs

-when it's cold either.

0:20:490:20:53

-Would you like to feed them?

0:20:530:20:55

-Would you like to feed them?

-

-Yes. I hope I can do it properly.

0:20:550:20:57

-Do you have a favourite hen?

0:20:590:21:02

-No, not really.

0:21:030:21:05

-I do like my six old hens.

0:21:050:21:08

-If you only have six hens...

0:21:100:21:13

-..you get far more attached to them.

0:21:130:21:17

-When you have 26 hens,

-you don't get so attached to them.

0:21:170:21:21

-I gave my first six hens names.

0:21:220:21:24

-Blodwen is one of my favourites.

0:21:280:21:31

-She's white,

-she's big and she's really cuddly.

0:21:310:21:35

-She lays well too.

0:21:350:21:37

-Let's see

-if there are any eggs here.

0:21:380:21:40

-Yes.

0:21:420:21:43

-My neighbour wants some eggs.

0:21:450:21:47

-Would you like to come with me

-to sell them?

0:21:470:21:50

-Yes, of course.

0:21:510:21:52

-Yes, of course.

-

-Great.

0:21:520:21:53

-What I enjoyed most...

0:21:530:21:55

-..was living with a traditional,

-Welsh family.

0:21:560:22:01

-The language

-was absolutely everywhere.

0:22:030:22:06

-Living the way that Welsh speakers

-live was a great experience.

0:22:080:22:13

-No other culture

-influences life here.

0:22:160:22:19

-It's been great fun.

0:22:220:22:23

-It's been great fun.

-

-And a pleasure to have her here.

0:22:230:22:25

-Yes, because she gets on

-with us, the children...

0:22:260:22:29

-..the dogs and the cat.

0:22:300:22:32

-With everyone.

0:22:320:22:33

-With everyone.

-

-With the horses too.

0:22:330:22:35

-It's been a pleasure and

-we're glad we had this opportunity.

0:22:350:22:39

-It was a good experience

-to have her around.

0:22:400:22:44

-It proves that the Welsh language

-spreads further than we think.

0:22:440:22:48

-The children are amazing.

0:22:510:22:53

-They're very experienced

-in everything they do.

0:22:540:22:57

-I found out more about horses,

-thanks to Aron.

0:22:570:23:00

-He's very passionate about horses.

0:23:020:23:06

-I'm sure he'll turn professional.

0:23:060:23:09

-With Rhys, it amazes me

-how a young child...

0:23:110:23:15

-..can speak so well about hens.

0:23:170:23:20

-He knows everything about them

-and he works hard.

0:23:240:23:28

-It was a really great experience.

0:23:290:23:32

-You'd never imagine that an Italian

-with no Welsh connections...

0:23:320:23:37

-..would learn the language.

0:23:370:23:40

-It's been wonderful

-to meet someone who's so clever...

0:23:400:23:44

-..and so enthusiastic

-about the Welsh language.

0:23:440:23:47

-Nel sings with the band.

0:23:490:23:51

-She's full of energy...

0:23:510:23:53

-..and I'm sure

-she'll become a rock star.

0:23:530:23:57

-She's already

-had professional experiences.

0:24:010:24:04

-I think she'll keep going.

0:24:050:24:08

-I had two very cool days

-with Debora.

0:24:090:24:12

-I can't believe

-what a fantastic guitarist she is.

0:24:120:24:16

-I hope we can go over to Rome

-to learn a bit of Italian...

0:24:180:24:22

-..like she's learned Welsh.

0:24:230:24:25

-SHE PLAYS HEN WLAD FY NHADAU

0:24:250:24:29

-I'd be really delighted

-to see the family in Rome...

0:24:290:24:34

-..and show them around the city.

0:24:340:24:37

-She's the first Italian

-I've got to know.

0:24:480:24:51

-Debora came over here and she's able

-to speak and communicate in Welsh.

0:24:510:24:56

-It's just brilliant.

0:24:570:24:58

-I hope she goes back to Italy...

0:24:580:25:00

-..with a warm feeling

-about the time she spent here.

0:25:010:25:04

-Maybe, in the future...

0:25:050:25:06

-..we'll have the honour of

-welcoming her back to Penllyn again.

-the world of horses in Wales.

0:25:330:25:37

-These special animals exist between

-the domesticated and the wild.

0:25:370:25:42

-We'll focus on hunters, racers,

-blacksmiths, breeders and more.

0:25:430:25:48

-I'm Brychan Llyr and

-my fellow presenter is David Oliver.

0:25:490:25:53

-A handful of programmes

-and one exciting equine adventure.

0:25:530:25:58

-In this programme, producer

-of show horses, Wyn Morris...

0:26:230:26:27

-..shares his experiences

-during a busy year with us.

0:26:270:26:31

-David mucks out and hunts...

0:26:330:26:36

-..while I taste the thrill of battle

-at Pembrokeshire County Show.

0:26:360:26:40

-We see Wyn preparing,

-judging and training.

0:26:410:26:45

-Wyn is a dedicated and successful

-producer of show horses...

0:26:470:26:52

-..whose story begins

-at his West Wales home.

0:26:520:26:56

-Llandre Ganol, Wyn's home,

-is between Narberth and Rosebush.

0:27:110:27:16

-Wyn, the first job this morning

-is to feed the horses.

0:27:190:27:23

-May I help you?

0:27:230:27:24

-May I help you?

-

-Yes. You can push the wheelbarrow.

0:27:240:27:26

-Alright. Where am I going?

0:27:270:27:28

-Wyn's main work

-is as a producer of show horses.

0:27:300:27:33

-He trains and takes care of horses

-and competes on the owners' behalf.

0:27:330:27:38

-How many horse do you have here?

0:27:400:27:42

-Over 20 at the moment.

0:27:430:27:44

-People can say what they like

-about me...

0:27:460:27:49

-..but if they criticize my horses,

-there's trouble ahead!

0:27:500:27:54

-The horses come first.

0:27:540:27:56

-Is this my job?

0:28:000:28:01

-Yes. These are your tools

-and that's your wheelbarrow.

0:28:010:28:05

-He keeps show horses,

-show jumpers and racers.

0:28:110:28:15

-He's tasted success at shows

-in Wales, England and Ireland...

0:28:190:28:24

-..including the Supreme Champion

-at the Royal Welsh in 2014...

0:28:260:28:31

-..with the horse Brechfa Brynach,

-owned by Gillian Davies.

0:28:310:28:35

-All done. Happy?

0:28:370:28:39

-Quite happy, fair play to you.

0:28:400:28:42

-One down, 20 to go.

0:28:420:28:44

-Where did you learn

-the art of showing horses?

0:28:480:28:52

-Where did you perfect those skills?

0:28:520:28:54

-I've never had any lessons.

0:28:570:28:59

-I never even had riding lessons.

0:28:590:29:02

-I just watched other people at work

-and thought, "I can do it better!"

0:29:020:29:07

-I kept teaching myself.

0:29:070:29:09

-I'm a pretty quiet man...

0:29:100:29:13

-..when I'm sober, at least!

0:29:150:29:17

-No, I'm quiet and calm

-around the horses.

0:29:190:29:22

-If you treat the horses calmly

-and respectfully, they respect you.

0:29:220:29:27

-Where did you grow up?

0:29:280:29:29

-About five miles from here in

-a little village called Pantycaws...

0:29:310:29:36

-..near Efailwen.

0:29:360:29:38

-Our neighbours kept stallions.

0:29:400:29:42

-That's where

-I came into contact with horses.

0:29:430:29:46

-I'd ride horses, not knowing

-if they'd been broken in.

0:29:460:29:50

-There were lots of accidents!

0:29:500:29:52

-How did you get to the point where

-you worked with horses full-time?

0:29:530:29:57

-I left school

-before I was supposed to leave.

0:29:580:30:01

-I didn't tell my parents, but my

-neighbours had offered me a job.

0:30:010:30:06

-I worked there for four years

-until their sons finished school.

0:30:070:30:12

-I then went to work in a hotel...

0:30:120:30:14

-..and a nightclub in Tenby

-for the summer.

0:30:160:30:19

-I had fun but I didn't like

-driving to work on Saturdays...

0:30:190:30:23

-..and seeing everyone else

-heading to the shows.

0:30:230:30:27

-So I went back

-to working with horses.

0:30:280:30:31

-A day in the stables of

-a producer of horses is very busy.

0:30:350:30:39

-Wyn has a sand school

-to train and jump horses...

0:30:400:30:45

-..and a horse walker

-to keep them fit.

0:30:450:30:47

-But you can't beat going for a ride

-along quiet, Welsh country lanes.

0:30:480:30:53

-She's fantastic.

-She looked after me.

0:30:580:31:01

-Let's see what happens

-on the way back.

0:31:020:31:05

-HE LAUGHS

0:31:080:31:10

-I spoke too soon!

0:31:110:31:12

-Why do you ride the horses out here

-every day?

0:31:170:31:21

-It keeps them fit and hard.

0:31:210:31:23

-This one will go and race this year.

0:31:240:31:27

-I've shown that one all summer

-and she'll hunt all winter...

0:31:280:31:33

-..and do some show jumping.

0:31:340:31:36

-Does that fitness

-change the shape of the horses?

0:31:390:31:42

-Yes. This one's

-carrying a bit of weight.

0:31:420:31:45

-HE LAUGHS

0:31:450:31:47

-I didn't mean you!

0:31:500:31:52

-Like me,

-she's got a bit of a tummy on her.

0:31:530:31:56

-She'll have to lose some of

-that tummy in order to go hunting.

0:31:580:32:02

-She's got to be fit to go hunting.

0:32:020:32:04

-I'll move

-before I have to swim to the bank.

0:32:050:32:08

-Are you ready to head back?

0:32:080:32:09

-Are you ready to head back?

-

-Yes.

0:32:090:32:11

-It's five o'clock

-on an August morning...

0:32:240:32:27

-..and I'm at the stables

-to meet Wyn.

0:32:270:32:30

-I offered to help him during

-The Pembrokeshire County Show.

0:32:300:32:35

-Yuck!

0:32:360:32:37

-You didn't know there were

-two five o'clocks in every day!

0:32:370:32:41

-It's the third day of the show

-and he's already tasted success.

0:32:410:32:46

-Wyn has 20 horses

-competing at the show.

0:32:460:32:49

-What are your hopes today?

0:32:500:32:52

-What are your hopes today?

-

-Winning.

0:32:520:32:53

-Two are returning because

-they won championships yesterday.

0:32:550:32:59

-They're going back

-for the Supreme this afternoon.

0:32:590:33:03

-The show is in nearby Haverfordwest,

-so he can come and go every day.

0:33:040:33:08

-Give me your hand.

0:33:100:33:12

-I knew I'd hold your hand

-before the morning!

0:33:120:33:15

-THEY LAUGH

0:33:150:33:17

-Not too bad.

0:33:210:33:23

-Not too bad.

-

-Thanks for your help.

0:33:230:33:25

-Magic touch!

0:33:250:33:27

-Wyn competes first

-with the young colt, Maximus.

0:33:400:33:43

-This will be

-his first ever competition.

0:33:440:33:47

-He's bred for racing but Wyn

-wants him to experience being shown.

0:33:470:33:52

-It will 'teach him some manners',

-as they say in the business.

0:33:530:33:57

-What class is this?

0:33:570:33:59

-This is the Sport Horses class

-for yearlings.

0:33:590:34:03

-What does that mean?

-What's a Sports Horse?

0:34:030:34:06

-A Sports Horse can mean anything.

0:34:060:34:08

-Showjumping, eventing or racing.

0:34:100:34:13

-It covers all sorts of horses.

0:34:140:34:16

-If these judges like racehorses,

-we have a good chance.

0:34:180:34:22

-If they like something heavier,

-we don't stand a chance.

0:34:220:34:26

-Fair play, it's Maximus's first

-competition and he came second.

0:34:340:34:39

-This horse will keep you fit.

0:34:400:34:42

-Are you pleased?

0:34:420:34:44

-Are you pleased?

-

-Yes. The horse behaved well.

0:34:440:34:46

-It's his first show.

0:34:460:34:48

-The judge prefers heavier horses.

0:34:510:34:54

-This is just the start

-of his education.

0:34:550:34:58

-Is this a mare?

0:35:020:35:03

-Yes - a young filly

-who was bred in Newport, Gwent.

0:35:040:35:07

-She's an Irish Draught cross.

0:35:080:35:10

-As a foal...

0:35:100:35:11

-..the lady who bred her wanted

-to show her at The Royal Dublin.

0:35:120:35:17

-We went over

-to the Royal Dublin Show...

0:35:170:35:20

-..with our Welsh Irish Draught

-and we won at the show in Dublin.

0:35:200:35:25

-Is she ready,

-or is there more work to be done?

0:35:280:35:31

-I must put make-up on her face

-and marks on her bottom.

0:35:320:35:35

-Let's go for it.

0:35:360:35:37

-You have a go on the other side.

0:35:430:35:46

-Cut that corner.

0:35:500:35:51

-You've gone too far back.

0:35:530:35:55

-See the difference?

0:35:560:35:57

-See the difference?

-

-Yes.

0:35:570:35:58

-Up here...

0:35:590:36:00

-..and down there.

0:36:020:36:03

-Yes.

0:36:030:36:05

-That's a good one.

0:36:050:36:07

-Another one?

0:36:070:36:08

-Another one?

-

-Yes.

0:36:080:36:09

-That's good. I can see it.

0:36:120:36:14

-When the judge stands behind her,

-he sees a nice, round shape.

0:36:190:36:23

-J Lo arse!

0:36:230:36:25

-Each of the 20-plus horses Wyn

-entered in the Pembrokeshire Show...

0:36:370:36:42

-..won a rosette.

0:36:420:36:44

-Brechfa Brynach was crowned

-Coloured Champion this week...

0:36:470:36:51

-..and Brechfa Cai was crowned

-Working Hunter Champion.

0:36:520:36:56

-That means Wyn has two horses

-entered in the Supreme Championship.

0:36:590:37:04

-Matthew Davies on Brechfa Brynach

-and Jody Sole on Brechfa Cai.

0:37:040:37:09

-This is the culmination

-of months of your hard work.

0:37:170:37:21

-How do you feel?

0:37:210:37:23

-We've had a really good season

-up to now.

0:37:250:37:27

-Whatever happens today,

-it'll be a bonus.

0:37:280:37:31

-That's the winner.

0:37:390:37:41

-Gemma Paxford and the Section C.

0:37:410:37:43

-From where?

0:37:430:37:44

-From where?

-

-Gloucester.

0:37:440:37:46

-Welsh cobs have travelled to England

-and they're beating us!

0:37:460:37:51

-He's a handsome horse.

0:37:520:37:53

-Yes. He deserved to win.

0:37:540:37:56

-He holds himself beautifully.

0:37:560:37:58

-That was a really strong class.

0:37:590:38:02

-Is he a stallion?

0:38:030:38:05

-Yes.

0:38:050:38:06

-I hope so, at least,

-or he needs to see a vet!

0:38:070:38:10

-Pembrokeshire County Show

-has been successful.

0:38:110:38:14

-Yes, definitely.

0:38:150:38:16

-We had eight champions,

-two reserve champions...

0:38:170:38:20

-..and several seconds and thirds.

0:38:200:38:23

-Yes - it's been really successful.

-In this programme, we focus on the

-producer of show horses, Wyn Morris.

0:38:450:38:50

-We've seen him competing in shows...

0:38:500:38:53

-..but Wyn is the boss

-here, at Sennybridge Show.

0:38:530:38:57

-He's a judge today.

0:38:580:38:59

-Shows like this are important to

-people who live in the countryside.

0:39:010:39:07

-The ponies and horses here today

-can go on to win at the Royal Welsh.

0:39:070:39:12

-There are

-good classes of horses here.

0:39:120:39:15

-People love to come to small shows

-to prepare for the big ones.

0:39:160:39:21

-Hunters Riding (Small Hunter)

0:39:260:39:30

-The horses enter the ring,

-then they begin by walking around.

0:39:300:39:34

-I like a horse which walks well.

0:39:350:39:37

-It must walk

-as though it means business.

0:39:380:39:41

-Not ambling along.

0:39:410:39:44

-I ask them to trot...

0:39:440:39:46

-..and then to canter.

0:39:480:39:49

-Maybe a gallop.

0:39:500:39:52

-I'll check their legs

-to make sure they're clean.

0:39:570:40:00

-They're two really nice horses.

0:40:080:40:11

-One behaved better than the other

-and that's what swung my decision.

0:40:110:40:16

-It was close.

0:40:190:40:21

-The next class is a bit of fun.

0:40:270:40:29

-It's a class for children

-on lead rein ponies.

0:40:310:40:34

-They're not strong enough

-to ride off the lead rein.

0:40:340:40:38

-It's a fun way

-for children to start.

0:40:380:40:40

-I enjoy judging classes for children

-because they're the future.

0:40:460:40:50

-They'll take over from us

-and they're talented.

0:40:510:40:55

-I've been a judge at a few

-local shows in recent weeks...

0:40:550:40:59

-..and I've seen improvement

-in many of the children.

0:40:590:41:03

-It shows

-they're willing to listen...

0:41:030:41:06

-..and they don't sulk when you

-point out what they're doing wrong.

0:41:070:41:11

-They come back to learn more

-and it means a lot.

0:41:120:41:15

-In Wyn's equine calendar, the show

-season leads to the hunting season.

0:41:230:41:28

-Hunts are an integral part

-of country life.

0:41:290:41:32

-They're a good way

-to keep horses fit...

0:41:320:41:35

-..and ready

-for point-to-point races.

0:41:360:41:40

-Wyn, a Pembrokeshire Hunt Master,

-invited me to the season opener.

0:41:410:41:46

-The dress is traditional - red for

-the masters and black for me.

0:41:480:41:53

-This will be my first hunt.

0:41:540:41:56

-Everyone's arrived.

0:41:570:41:59

-I'm not sure about this,

-but we'll see.

0:41:590:42:01

-There's a lot here.

0:42:010:42:03

-Everyone's having a tot of whisky

-or brandy before the off...

0:42:040:42:08

-..to settle the nerves.

0:42:080:42:10

-I asked for a bottle!

0:42:100:42:12

-I'll feel better once we get going.

0:42:120:42:14

-Fox hunting

-is now illegal, of course.

0:42:210:42:25

-Before the hunt sets off, a scent

-is dragged over the fields...

0:42:260:42:31

-..and that's what attracts the dogs.

0:42:310:42:33

-Apparently,

-lion urine works really well.

0:42:340:42:37

-You go first.

0:42:470:42:48

-Are you sure?

0:42:490:42:50

-Thanks for that!

0:42:500:42:52

-Through the river we go.

0:42:530:42:55

-# Gee up, little horse #

0:42:550:42:57

-Hey! Good boy.

0:42:590:43:01

-One little jump

-across the river so far.

0:43:090:43:12

-It was fine.

0:43:120:43:13

-Nobody's fallen off.

0:43:140:43:15

-We'll see.

0:43:150:43:17

-My confidence will grow as we go.

0:43:170:43:19

-Oh!

0:43:200:43:22

-Here we go.

0:43:220:43:24

-You did really well, fair play.

0:43:540:43:56

-I had hoped

-to see you hit the ground!

0:43:570:43:59

-Not to hurt yourself, obviously.

-Just for fun!

0:43:590:44:03

-I enjoyed it

-and everyone's been friendly.

0:44:030:44:06

-But I'm not sure how

-I'm going to drive home after this!

0:44:060:44:10

-It's already starting to hurt.

0:44:130:44:15

-Are you alright?

0:44:150:44:17

-HE LAUGHS

0:44:170:44:19

-I last saw Wyn

-at The Pembrokeshire County Show...

0:44:210:44:25

-..to explore unfamiliar territory.

0:44:250:44:28

-Today, I'm more comfortable...

0:44:280:44:30

-..because I'm here to talk to Wyn

-about point-to-point races.

0:44:300:44:35

-The equine calendar is perpetual.

0:44:410:44:43

-The hunting

-and point-to-point seasons...

0:44:440:44:47

-..both take place

-from winter to late spring.

0:44:470:44:51

-Every horse which runs

-in a point-to-point race...

0:44:510:44:55

-..must have participated

-in four hunts that season.

0:44:550:44:59

-Preparations for point-to-point

-races continue in Llandre Ganol...

0:45:030:45:07

-..and though mine and Wyn's

-racing days are over...

0:45:070:45:11

-..it's nice to be able to share

-some experiences.

0:45:110:45:15

-Wyn, describe point-to-point racing.

0:45:170:45:20

-Wyn, describe point-to-point racing.

-

-It all began years ago.

0:45:200:45:21

-People raced their horses

-from one village church to the next.

0:45:220:45:26

-It was a way for farmers

-to race their own horses.

0:45:260:45:30

-They weren't thoroughbreds back then

-but things have changed.

0:45:300:45:34

-It's a sport

-which I enjoy immensely.

0:45:350:45:38

-I really do enjoy it.

0:45:400:45:42

-I show horses

-because that's what pays the bills.

0:45:430:45:47

-I do point-to-point

-because I really enjoy it.

0:45:470:45:51

-I enjoy taking a horse which has

-perhaps had too much running...

0:45:520:45:57

-..and bringing it back

-to win in point-to-point.

0:45:590:46:02

-Were you a rider?

0:46:030:46:05

-Yes, I can say I was a jockey.

0:46:050:46:07

-Not much of a jockey,

-but I did do it.

0:46:070:46:10

-I was desperate to do it...

0:46:100:46:13

-..and I did it.

0:46:130:46:15

-I enjoyed every minute,

-even when I hit the ground!

0:46:150:46:18

-I loved it.

0:46:190:46:20

-It's the most fun

-you can have on a horse.

0:46:210:46:23

-When you go to the races...

0:46:240:46:26

-..and you hear the hooves

-getting closer and then passing.

0:46:270:46:31

-You're in the middle of that noise

-and you face 18 jumps.

0:46:310:46:35

-You didn't look like you'd retired

-when I saw you on Hunky Dory.

0:46:400:46:44

-I enjoy doing the work at home.

0:46:440:46:46

-I suppose that's what I enjoyed

-right from the start...

0:46:470:46:51

-..and I should have left it there!

0:46:520:46:54

-The day I have to stop

-riding them at home...

0:46:550:46:59

-..is the day

-the time has come to stop it all.

0:46:590:47:02

-I enjoy every minute of it.

0:47:040:47:06

-You don't dwell on that, do you?

0:47:070:47:08

-You don't dwell on that, do you?

-

-No. I'm too simple for that!

0:47:080:47:10

-You've got to have fun.
