0:01:16 > 0:01:18to meet Emily and her pet pony, Charlie.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22I wonder where they could be? Let's go and find them.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Hi, you must be Emily.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- Yes, I am.- Lovely to meet you.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33- And you must be Mum. Hello.- Hi. - Emily, who is this?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- Charlie.- He's beautiful.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38- And is he your pony?- Yeah.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- Do you help to take care of him? - Yeah.- What age is Charlie?
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- Six.- He's six, so that's still quite young, isn't it?
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- And how old are you?- Six.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48So you're the same age!
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Does that mean you're best friends?
0:01:51 > 0:01:55- Yeah.- How long have you had Charlie? - Since I was three.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Wow, so you've known him a very long time, haven't you?
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- Yeah.- And what type of pony is Charlie?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03A Welsh Mountain Pony.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Welsh Mountain Ponies are called this
0:02:05 > 0:02:08as they come from Wales and are really good
0:02:08 > 0:02:10at walking up hills and mountains.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14This colour, he looks a bit ginger. What do you call his colour?
0:02:14 > 0:02:19- Chestnut.- He's gorgeous. And what is your favourite thing about Charlie?
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Riding him and galloping up the in the hills, in carts.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- That sounds very fast. Is he quick?- Yeah.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29And what is Charlie's favourite thing?
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Carrots and apples and green bits and grass.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36I heard that you grow carrots in your garden to feed him.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37- Is that right?- Yeah.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41He's very lucky, do you think we can give him one now?
0:02:41 > 0:02:43- Oh!- Here you go.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Oh, yum. Yum, yum, yum, yum.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49He likes that very much.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51He loves that, doesn't he?
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Rory, can you tell us more facts about Charlie
0:02:54 > 0:02:58and his beautiful pony friends while he has a treat?
0:02:58 > 0:02:59Of course, Ferne.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Ponies are herbivores,
0:03:03 > 0:03:06which means they eat plants like hay and grass.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Ponies have much bigger eyes than ours
0:03:11 > 0:03:15and some of the biggest of any animal.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Baby ponies are called foals
0:03:19 > 0:03:23and they can run around just two hours after being born.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35All pets need lots of love, care and attention
0:03:35 > 0:03:38and ponies can be pretty hard work and take a lot of time,
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- can't they, Emily?- Yeah.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42And what do you need to do?
0:03:42 > 0:03:44I need to muck out the stable.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47You got to feed him fresh water every day.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49That sounds like a long list.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50- Can I help you?- Yeah.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52OK, see you soon, Charlie.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Which one's Charlie's stable?
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- That one.- With all these beautiful signs.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02They're amazing. What do we need to do first?
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Get the clean shavings in.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07That sounds good. I'll get the door.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16That is a lot of shavings, Emily.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- Does Charlie like a big, comfy bed? - Yeah.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24- Spread the shavings everywhere like this.- OK.- Mix it over.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Mix it all in, OK. Why do we do this, Emily?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30It makes it very fluffy and deep.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Charlie's very, very lucky. This is looking great and fluffy.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37What else do we need to do to look after him?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39We need to give him his food.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40That sounds great.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- Last few pats and shall we go and get his hay nets?- Yeah.- OK.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51- So where do we hang these, Emily? - Up on the bars.- OK.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- Do the knot tighter. - How is that looking?- Yeah.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57We have to make sure Charlie doesn't pull it off.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- He won't.- So these are his hay nets?
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- Yeah.- Is it one of his favourite foods?- One of them.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06And we have his water over there and we also have a few pony nuts.
0:05:06 > 0:05:11Charlie's stable's looking ready. What else do we need to do?
0:05:11 > 0:05:15- We need to exercise him. - Shall we go?- Yeah.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Woo!
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Emily, I'm so excited I get to ride today.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Is this my pony?- Yes. - Who is this?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- Morgan.- Hi, Morgan, lovely to meet you.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30It's important that horses and ponies have plenty of exercise.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Charlie has a lovely big field to run around in
0:05:33 > 0:05:35and Emily rides him every day.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- Walk on, ponies!- Walk on. - Come on, Morgan.- Walk on, Charlie.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42Walk on, boy.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Walk on.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52And you get to do this every single day?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Yeah, I go round the field sometimes.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Does Charlie love it?
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Yeah.- What is on the ponies' heads?
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- Bridles.- OK, and what do we use to control them?
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- The reins. - And what are we sitting on?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- A saddle.- It's very comfy, isn't it?
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Emily, you are so lucky you get to do this every day, it's so much fun.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16It's my favourite thing to do with Charlie.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19I am not surprised, it's amazing.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21- How do we make Charlie go faster? - "Trot on."
0:06:21 > 0:06:25- Shall we give them a trot? - Yeah.- Trot on, come on, go.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26Woo!
0:06:34 > 0:06:36You're so speedy!
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Whoa.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45That was great. Emily, you are such a fantastic rider.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47The ponies have had plenty of exercise
0:06:47 > 0:06:51and we'll get them water, but are we finished looking after Charlie?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- No.- What do we need to do? - Give him a bath.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Give him a bath?! Is there a bath big enough for a pony?
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- No.- What will we use instead? - A hose.- That sounds great.
0:07:01 > 0:07:02Come on, walk on.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Sometimes you have to wash ponies with special shampoo,
0:07:17 > 0:07:20but this should only be done every so often.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24- Oh, that looks good. - And you do his wee hoofs.- Yeah.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27OK, Emily, so what do we need to do next?
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- He's all hosed down.- Soap him up.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32That sounds great, I'll turn off the hose.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- On his back?- Go on.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39OK. You ready, Charlie?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Soapy, soapy.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- Do you want to rub?- I'll do here.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- Yeah, and what about down here? - It feels very nice for him.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48It feels really soft.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52- Do you think this is a bit like a pony massage?- Yeah.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56- We need to give him a good scrub before we let him dry.- OK.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00And hose down, boy.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02A hose, a hose, a hose.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Oh, my goodness, he looks so much cleaner already.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- So what's next? - We need to scrape him down.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Ready, Charlie? Wee!
0:08:13 > 0:08:15That looks great.
0:08:15 > 0:08:20We have to make sure that he's nice and dry, don't we?
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- How's this looking, Emily?- Good.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25This is a great rug, Emily.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28It keeps Charlie all cosy and warm.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31You do such a good job of taking care of him.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33He's really nice and clean now.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- What do we do after we take care of our pets?- Wash our hands.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37That's right.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49Looking after ponies is hard work, isn't it?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- Yeah.- We definitely deserve this picnic.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- They're having a picnic too, aren't they?- Yeah.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Emily, if your pet pony, Charlie,
0:08:56 > 0:09:01could do absolutely anything in the world, what would he do?
0:09:03 > 0:09:09If my pet could do anything, he would drive a steam train.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12He would wear a driver's hat
0:09:12 > 0:09:17and he would blow the whistle very loudly.
0:09:17 > 0:09:23He would go on a journey round the jungle and drive very fast.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Then loop the loop like a roller-coaster.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Emily, I hear that you and Charlie
0:09:34 > 0:09:36do something really special together.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40- What is it?- We do carriage driving.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41What's that?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43We hitch a cart onto a pony.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46You hitch a cart onto a pony and drive it around?
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- Uh-huh.- I would love to see that and you know what?
0:09:49 > 0:09:52- I heard there's a show on today. Can we go?- Yeah.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- And we'll bring Charlie?- Yeah.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59Come on, come on, Charlie. You've got some driving to do.
0:10:01 > 0:10:06A horse carriage show is where lots of different horses and ponies
0:10:06 > 0:10:09pull carriages around obstacle courses,
0:10:09 > 0:10:11and it looks like great fun.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14And Charlie is getting ready for Emily and her mum
0:10:14 > 0:10:16to take him on to the course.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21Wow, Emily, this looks great!
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Shall I help you up? Ready? One, two.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27This is fantastic. You sit in the very front?
0:10:27 > 0:10:29- Why do you sit there? - Cos I drive Charlie.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33You drive Charlie, and your mum helps too, doesn't she?
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- Yeah.- And where do I sit? - In the back.- OK.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Walk on, Charlie, come on.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42Walk on, Charlie.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49'This is the dressage course.'
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Carriage dressage is when you sit in a carriage
0:10:52 > 0:10:55and steer your horse or pony round the field.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Emily will be judged on how well she drives Charlie
0:10:58 > 0:11:02and she needs to steer him in lots of different directions.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- Emily, does Charlie like this? - Yeah. Look at his mane,
0:11:05 > 0:11:09that means he is happy when he's wagging his tail and his mane.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10Trot on.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16You are doing such a fantastic job, Emily.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18'I steer the pony with the reins.'
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Look at him go.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Charlie, and whoa.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Whoa.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31So how do we say thank you to Charlie, Emily?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33- Good boy.- Good boy.- Good boy.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Next, is the cone course.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43You have to steer the carriage through the cones
0:11:43 > 0:11:46and try not to knock the balls off.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53- Where are we going to? - Five. Five, over here.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02Emily and Charlie have to get round the course as fast as they can.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- Say canter, Charlie.- Canter. Go on.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- Go on, Charlie.- Go on.- Well done!
0:12:09 > 0:12:11- Whoa, good boy.- Well done.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18That was fantastic.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23I can't believe it. Emily, you are an amazing carriage driver.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24I'm so impressed.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27And I think Charlie did a great job too.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31You guys have been so good I even have this special rosette for you
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- because you are number one carriage drivers.- Thank you, Ferne.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Thank you for letting me visit.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02I can see that. He's loving it.
