-In this series of Ceffylau Cymru...

0:00:020:00:05

-..I'm sharing the presenting duties

-with Nia Marshalsay-Thomas.

0:00:050:00:09

-There's a stableful of stories

-from across Wales...

0:00:100:00:13

-..and this time, one from overseas.

0:00:130:00:16

-As you can see, I'm in Australia.

0:00:360:00:39

-The land of koalas, kangaroos

-and Welsh horses.

0:00:390:00:43

-This is a tale

-of two studs, two countries...

0:00:430:00:48

-..one young farmer and one

-world-famous stallion called Sama.

0:00:480:00:52

-We follow Joe Parry

-from Melin-y-wig near Corwen...

0:00:540:00:58

-..all the way to Australia...

0:00:580:01:00

-..to meet the horse that he hasn't

-seen since he was five years old.

0:01:000:01:05

-The story

-has the feel of a legend...

0:01:050:01:07

-..and features success,

-lineage and equine dreams.

0:01:080:01:11

-Joe Parry.

0:01:230:01:24

-Keen farmer...

0:01:240:01:26

-..Harper Adams University

-student of the year in 2015...

0:01:260:01:30

-..friend of the horse and only son

-of Selwyn and Jessie Parry.

0:01:300:01:35

-What do horses mean to you?

0:01:360:01:40

-They're in my blood, really.

0:01:410:01:43

-It's like asking a Welshman

-what Wales means to him.

0:01:430:01:49

-It's very difficult

-to describe the feeling.

0:01:490:01:52

-But they're in my heart, really.

0:01:530:01:56

-Joe has now come home

-to help run Clegyr Mawr farm.

0:01:580:02:02

-It's home to cattle, sheep

-and the Eyarth Stud horses.

0:02:030:02:07

-How do you keep on top of it all?

0:02:090:02:12

-The horses, the cattle...

0:02:120:02:14

-The horses, the cattle...

-

-I don't!

0:02:140:02:15

-I don't have much of a social life.

0:02:160:02:18

-It's very different

-to being at university, anyway.

0:02:190:02:22

-I went out quite a bit then.

0:02:220:02:25

-Yes, there's a lot of work...

0:02:250:02:27

-..but I'm happy to do it.

0:02:280:02:30

-It keeps me out of mischief.

0:02:300:02:32

-Looking to the future, where will

-the horses fit in on this farm?

0:02:330:02:38

-The horses are most important to me.

0:02:380:02:42

-We have about ten mares

-that foal annually.

0:02:420:02:47

-What we do is rear them...

0:02:480:02:50

-..then we try to sell them

-when they're five or six months old.

0:02:500:02:56

-Business-wise,

-it's the best time to sell.

0:02:570:03:00

-They haven't cost us much beyond

-the upkeep of the pony over winter.

0:03:000:03:05

-We teach the foals to be led...

0:03:050:03:08

-..and we make sure

-that they eat feed...

0:03:090:03:12

-..and that they've been suckled,

-and off they go.

0:03:130:03:16

-We're very happy

-with the type that we have.

0:03:170:03:20

-We'll just carry on.

0:03:200:03:22

-Joe started taking an interest

-in the ponies...

0:03:270:03:31

-..when he was very small.

0:03:310:03:33

-He started touching them

-and playing with them.

0:03:330:03:36

-I think he was about three

-when Eyarth Athene was born.

0:03:360:03:42

-Yes, he was going on three.

0:03:420:03:44

-He just gravitated towards her

-and it went from there.

0:03:440:03:48

-I'm over the moon with the idea...

0:03:480:03:50

-..that Joe

-is going to take over this stud.

0:03:510:03:53

-You've put so much in it

-and it's come from your parents.

0:03:540:03:58

-There's all this breeding,

-40 years of breeding ponies...

0:03:590:04:03

-..and to think

-that he's so interested in it.

0:04:030:04:06

-Breeding-wise, pony-wise,

-it doesn't matter what.

0:04:060:04:09

-It's going to go forward...

0:04:100:04:11

-..and there are so many studs

-in this country that have no future.

0:04:110:04:15

-As well as his mother's influence...

0:04:180:04:21

-..Joe's interest in horses can be

-traced back to his grandparents.

0:04:210:04:26

-They began to breed Section B horses

-back in 1968.

0:04:260:04:30

-Eyarth's speciality is breeding

-rather than showing.

0:04:310:04:35

-But Eyarth Zsa Zsa, Eyarth Arabella,

-Windflower and Celebration...

0:04:360:04:41

-..are world-famous names

-in the show rings.

0:04:410:04:44

-Eyarth Celebration

-is a familiar name in Section B.

0:04:460:04:51

-Tell me a little

-about the influence he has had.

0:04:510:04:56

-Well, he's had a great influence.

0:04:560:05:00

-I always thought,

-when I was a little boy...

0:05:010:05:04

-..and people from abroad

-came to see the horses...

0:05:040:05:07

-We just called him Kelly,

-not Celebration.

0:05:080:05:12

-I couldn't understand

-all these people taking photos...

0:05:120:05:16

-..as if he was a celebrity,

-but, in a way, he was.

0:05:160:05:19

-He was the start

-of the stud, really.

0:05:200:05:23

-We began to win at lots of shows.

0:05:230:05:26

-Quite big shows.

-We had won locally previously.

0:05:260:05:30

-He won at the Royal Welsh

-as a yearling.

0:05:300:05:32

-That was Mam's first win

-at the Royal Welsh...

0:05:330:05:36

-..so that was quite a feat.

0:05:360:05:38

-We then bought the filly

-Weston Twiggy...

0:05:380:05:41

-..from the Weston Park stud,

-in the last sale at Llandyn Hall.

0:05:420:05:48

-That cross-breeding really worked.

0:05:480:05:52

-From then on,

-it all started to flourish.

0:05:520:05:56

-We'll go on to look

-at later progeny.

0:05:560:06:00

-She's been very important to you.

0:06:000:06:03

-Oh, yes, she is the foundation mare.

0:06:030:06:06

-Every colt or filly here

-can be traced back to her.

0:06:060:06:10

-We'll turn to Eyarth Arabella.

0:06:120:06:15

-She's out of Weston Twiggy

-by Eyarth Celebration.

0:06:150:06:18

-Was she the first that you kept?

0:06:190:06:20

-Was she the first that you kept?

-

-From that combination, yes.

0:06:200:06:23

-She has bred

-several very good horses...

0:06:230:06:28

-..with Carwed Charmer.

0:06:280:06:30

-Most of her foals,

-she had 16 foals in all...

0:06:300:06:34

-The ones sired by Carwed Charmer

-were the best ones.

0:06:350:06:39

-It's a major influence Section Bs

-at any show or sale, the Fayre Oaks.

0:06:390:06:45

-The Eyarth bloodline

-is very evident.

0:06:460:06:49

-It's a pleasure to see it.

0:06:490:06:51

-Very often, if I see a horse...

0:06:510:06:54

-..at a show or a sale,

-as you said...

0:06:550:06:58

-..and like it...

0:06:580:07:00

-..I look in the catalogue

-and there is a link there.

0:07:000:07:04

-We've got a type.

0:07:040:07:05

-I like to say

-that there is an Eyarth type.

0:07:060:07:09

-You can pick them out, really.

0:07:090:07:11

-It all goes back

-to Celebration and Twiggy.

0:07:120:07:15

-It was a cross-breeding

-that worked so well.

0:07:150:07:18

-What is the Eyarth type?

0:07:270:07:30

-Because there is a definite type.

0:07:300:07:31

-Because there is a definite type.

-

-Yes. It's Welsh, maybe.

0:07:310:07:33

-Most have good bone structure.

0:07:340:07:37

-Maybe we don't have

-exceptionally attractive heads...

0:07:380:07:41

-This one may be the best of them,

-as regards the head.

0:07:420:07:46

-And big eyes, of course.

0:07:470:07:48

-This is the youngest sister

-of the four that we kept.

0:07:510:07:54

-This is Ophelia.

0:07:550:07:56

-Weston Twiggy and Celebration

-once again.

0:07:560:07:59

-She's getting on now.

0:08:000:08:01

-She's 18 this year.

0:08:010:08:03

-She looks fantastic, fair play.

0:08:030:08:05

-She doesn't look her age, does she?

0:08:060:08:08

-She's in good condition.

0:08:080:08:10

-People who come here to see us

-during the year...

0:08:100:08:14

-..say that this one

-is a Weston type.

0:08:140:08:17

-The tail-set.

0:08:170:08:18

-Her tail starts

-right at the top of the back.

0:08:190:08:22

-She's a lovely pony.

0:08:220:08:24

-Can you explain the link...

0:08:310:08:33

-..between the Eyarth Stud

-and Australia?

0:08:330:08:37

-The initial link

-is that we bought Weston Twiggy...

0:08:370:08:41

-..from the Weston Park stud

-before they emigrated to Australia.

0:08:410:08:46

-They took 29 horses along with them.

0:08:460:08:49

-More recently, Janet...

0:08:490:08:52

-..who now runs

-the Weston Park stud in Australia...

0:08:520:08:57

-..bought Eyarth Sama from us

-when he was a colt.

0:08:570:09:01

-Sama is the son of Arabella...

0:09:010:09:04

-..and Carwed Charmer.

0:09:040:09:06

-Tell us about him.

0:09:060:09:07

-He was shown with great success.

0:09:080:09:10

-Yes, we showed him a bit

-as a yearling.

0:09:110:09:14

-Aged two, he went to Heniarth

-to be used to prove his fertility.

0:09:140:09:19

-He was shown then as well.

0:09:190:09:22

-He won reserve male champion

-at the Royal Welsh.

0:09:230:09:26

-He was very successful.

0:09:260:09:28

-I don't remember him as a foal.

0:09:290:09:32

-I was only two or three

-when he was born...

0:09:330:09:36

-..but I do somehow

-remember him as a yearling...

0:09:360:09:39

-..and the stable

-in which he was kept.

0:09:400:09:43

-Of course,

-I remember him as he got older...

0:09:430:09:47

-..before he became world famous

-for Janet at Weston Park.

0:09:470:09:52

-He has sired stock

-of exceptional quality.

0:09:530:09:57

-Yes, he's a world-famous name.

0:09:570:10:00

-We're going out to Australia

-to see Sama.

0:10:010:10:03

-What are you

-looking forward to most?

0:10:040:10:06

-Seeing him.

0:10:070:10:09

-It's nearly 20 years,

-actually 18 years, since I saw him.

0:10:090:10:15

-And seeing the stock

-that he has sired.

0:10:150:10:18

-The breeding at Eyarth

-and Weston Park studs...

0:10:180:10:22

-..are identical, in a way,

-where the bloodline is concerned...

0:10:220:10:27

-..just that they are

-mirror images of each other...

0:10:270:10:30

-..and in a different order.

0:10:310:10:32

-It's the same bloodline...

0:10:330:10:35

-..and it'll be interesting to see

-how Janet's horses compare to ours.

0:10:350:10:40

-In photos, they look very similar

-to what we have here.

0:10:400:10:43

-After a long journey...

0:11:170:11:19

-..it's a relief

-to reach the Weston Park stud...

0:11:200:11:23

-..in SE Australia.

0:11:230:11:24

-It's hard to believe that it's been

-so long since Joe last saw Sama.

0:11:250:11:29

-On the other hand, Dick and Janet

-are familiar faces to Joe.

0:11:300:11:35

-Their granddaughter, Catrin,

-is on hand to welcome us.

0:11:350:11:38

-The stud's main mission is to

-continue the Section B lineage...

0:11:420:11:46

-..which goes back ten generations

-to old Northwalian studs...

0:11:460:11:50

-..many of which no longer exist.

0:11:510:11:53

-They deserve praise

-for doing so here in Australia...

0:11:540:11:58

-..for almost 40 years.

0:11:590:12:01

-It's a privilege

-for Joe and I to be here.

0:12:020:12:04

-Well, Joe, we're finally here.

0:12:060:12:09

-What's your first impression

-of Australia?

0:12:090:12:12

-It's a lot warmer!

0:12:120:12:14

-The terrain in front of us,

-the rural landscape...

0:12:140:12:19

-..and the mares with their foals.

0:12:190:12:22

-It's winter at home.

0:12:230:12:24

-Everything's out of sync.

0:12:240:12:26

-Is there anything in particular

-you're looking forward to?

0:12:280:12:31

-Seeing Sama.

0:12:320:12:33

-That's more important to me

-than anything, in a way.

0:12:340:12:38

-Janet and Richard Evans have lived

-on this farm near Wangaratta...

0:12:400:12:44

-..since the early 1990s.

0:12:440:12:46

-Dick is a vet, while Janet

-is in charge of the horses.

0:12:470:12:52

-How did you come

-to choose Sama, Janet?

0:12:540:12:58

-I've always loved the Eyarth ponies.

0:12:580:13:01

-I went to a show

-at Flint and Denbigh...

0:13:010:13:05

-..and Dewi Hilin

-had got Eyarth Ariel there.

0:13:050:13:10

-I really fell in love with him.

0:13:100:13:12

-I asked, but he wasn't for sale.

0:13:120:13:15

-Then I went back to Eyarth

-and I said to Jessie...

0:13:150:13:19

-..the next colt foal

-she has out of that mare...

0:13:190:13:22

-..by the same sire, Charmer....

0:13:220:13:25

-..could I have first option on him?

0:13:250:13:29

-What makes Sama so special, Janet?

0:13:290:13:32

-He's turned out to be better

-than ever we could have dreamt of.

0:13:320:13:36

-We've had so much luck, and

-he's so potent in the bloodlines.

0:13:370:13:41

-You can tell they're all by him.

0:13:410:13:44

-He stamps them so well.

0:13:450:13:46

-He's so special.

0:13:470:13:48

-Dick, I know Joe's looking forward

-to seeing Sama.

0:13:480:13:51

-I'm sure you want

-to see his reaction.

0:13:520:13:54

-Yes.

0:13:540:13:55

-It'll be nice to see

-what he thinks of Sama...

0:13:560:14:01

-..and what Sama will think of Joe!

0:14:010:14:04

-During our visit...

0:14:090:14:11

-..we visited one of Australia's

-major Welsh horse shows...

0:14:120:14:16

-..the Victorian All Welsh Show.

0:14:160:14:19

-As the show celebrates 40 years,

-there are over 500 horses competing.

0:14:190:14:24

-Of the 100 ponies in Section B,

-29 are from Sana's lineage.

0:14:250:14:29

-We're at the show and it's so hot.

0:14:310:14:34

-There's a lot going on.

0:14:340:14:36

-Are you ready?

0:14:360:14:37

-Are you ready?

-

-Yes, I think so.

0:14:370:14:38

-We need to find Dick and Janet.

0:14:390:14:41

-They've asked me

-to show one of their fillies.

0:14:410:14:44

-I'll go to help them prepare

-before going into the ring.

0:14:440:14:48

-The standard is excellent.

0:14:480:14:50

-I'm a bit surprised

-by how many people are here...

0:14:510:14:54

-..and that there's so much interest

-in Welsh ponies in Australia.

0:14:550:14:59

-I'm really looking forward to it.

0:14:590:15:01

-What is it about the Welsh breeds...

0:15:060:15:09

-..that makes them

-such a great pony for Australia?

0:15:090:15:13

-Because you've got four sections

-and part-breds...

0:15:130:15:16

-..they can virtually do any job...

0:15:160:15:18

-..from lead reins

-through to eventers.

0:15:180:15:21

-You can have your children riding,

-yourself riding.

0:15:220:15:26

-They're just a good agile breed

-with a lovely temperament...

0:15:260:15:30

-..beauty, and do the job

-particularly well out here.

0:15:300:15:34

-Who do we have here, Joe?

0:15:390:15:40

-Who do we have here, Joe?

-

-Weston Park Isolde.

0:15:400:15:42

-Is she related to Sama?

0:15:430:15:45

-Yes, she's Sama's daughter.

0:15:450:15:47

-Right.

0:15:470:15:48

-I hope that they show them

-the same way we do at home.

0:15:490:15:53

-I do as well. I haven't asked!

0:15:530:15:55

-Good luck.

0:15:560:15:57

-Good luck.

-

-Thank you.

0:15:570:15:58

-Joe and Weston Park Isolde's

-first competition...

0:16:020:16:06

-..is the Section B class

-for three-year-old fillies.

0:16:060:16:10

-Joe and Isolde's individual show

-for the judge is taking place now.

0:16:110:16:17

-They're currently in first place...

0:16:170:16:20

-..but that could all change.

0:16:200:16:23

-She walks very well, fair play.

0:16:230:16:25

-That and her bone structure

-are her biggest strengths.

0:16:260:16:31

-She covers the land well,

-and looked sharp all the way around.

0:16:310:16:35

-She's standing for the judge now...

0:16:370:16:39

-..to let him see the characteristics

-and the superior points.

0:16:400:16:44

-The judge sends them out

-for the last time.

0:16:470:16:50

-I'm sure that this

-is a nervous time for Joe...

0:16:510:16:55

-..and for Janet and Dick.

0:16:550:16:57

-She walks well,

-full of intent...

0:16:570:17:00

-..as if she's going to do a job.

0:17:020:17:04

-I think the steward

-has recalled them in the same order.

0:17:050:17:09

-Joe wins!

0:17:100:17:11

-Weston Park Isolde and Joe

-take the first prize in this class.

0:17:110:17:15

-The filly did fantastically for him.

0:17:160:17:18

-I'm sure Dick and Janet

-will he delighted too.

0:17:180:17:21

-Well, Janet, a first.

0:17:240:17:26

-Well, Janet, a first.

-

-Fantastic!

0:17:260:17:27

-Pleased?

0:17:270:17:28

-Pleased?

-

-Over the moon.

0:17:280:17:29

-It's remarkable that a breed

-from the other side of the world...

0:17:310:17:35

-..have taken off as they have.

0:17:350:17:37

-What do you think the reasons are?

0:17:370:17:40

-I suppose because we love ponies.

0:17:400:17:42

-Their temperament,

-they're beautiful ponies.

0:17:420:17:45

-A versatile, beautiful pony

-that would suit any person.

0:17:450:17:49

-Joe went on

-to win a second competition.

0:17:530:17:57

-Isolde was the Section B

-under-three champion filly.

0:17:570:18:01

-Janet, she's won the championship.

-How do you feel?

0:18:020:18:06

-Fantastic.

-I feel like shedding a tear.

0:18:060:18:09

-I'm very emotional.

0:18:090:18:10

-It's 65 years of breeding...

0:18:100:18:12

-..and it all counts.

0:18:130:18:14

-Are you happy, Dick?

0:18:140:18:16

-Are you happy, Dick?

-

-Very happy. I'm delighted.

0:18:160:18:17

-Well done to Joe

-for showing her so well.

0:18:180:18:21

-They also go on to the Section B

-youngstock championship...

0:18:230:18:29

-..for colts and fillies

-under three years of age.

0:18:300:18:33

-Their character, they've just got

-great personalities, good movers.

0:18:340:18:39

-Agile, I can ride them.

0:18:390:18:41

-I just love them.

0:18:410:18:42

-It's the championship.

0:18:420:18:45

-They've won yet again.

0:18:450:18:47

-The Section B youngstock champion.

0:18:470:18:50

-Weston Park Isolde and Joe.

0:18:500:18:53

-The section championship,

-on your first showing in Australia.

0:18:540:18:59

-It's lucky I don't show at home.

-Leave it at that!

0:18:590:19:02

-How do you feel?

0:19:020:19:03

-How do you feel?

-

-Incredible.

0:19:030:19:04

-She's like a throwback

-to Weston Twiggy.

0:19:050:19:07

-That's nice to see, isn't it?

0:19:070:19:08

-That's nice to see, isn't it?

-

-Oh, yes.

0:19:080:19:09

-The show was a successful one

-for Janet and Dick's stud...

0:19:110:19:15

-..and for Eyarth Sama's offspring.

0:19:150:19:18

-To crown it all...

0:19:190:19:20

-..Weston Park Isolde

-was youngstock champion...

0:19:210:19:24

-..for Sections A, B, C and D...

0:19:240:19:26

-..led by Jeffrey Mark.

0:19:270:19:28

-The time has come, hasn't it?

0:19:360:19:38

-When Sama left...

0:19:390:19:42

-..I never thought I'd get a chance

-to come to see him again.

0:19:420:19:46

-It's a bit surreal, to be honest.

0:19:490:19:52

-You go down to meet Sama...

0:19:530:19:56

-..and I'll join you in a while.

0:19:560:19:58

-OK.

0:19:580:19:59

-Come on.

0:20:110:20:12

-Hey.

0:20:140:20:15

-Good boy.

0:20:200:20:21

-Hello, mister.

0:20:240:20:26

-Hey.

0:20:260:20:27

-How are you, eh?

0:20:280:20:30

-How are you?

0:20:310:20:32

-Hey, boy.

0:20:320:20:33

-Hey, boy, eh?

0:20:340:20:35

-He's got...

0:20:360:20:37

-..a presence, hasn't he?

0:20:390:20:41

-Hey, Sam.

0:20:430:20:44

-Come on, boy.

0:20:450:20:46

-There's a lad. Good boy.

0:20:470:20:48

-You're like your mother.

0:20:480:20:50

-You're just like your mother.

0:20:500:20:52

-You could pick him out

-in a field full of horses.

0:20:540:20:57

-There's a link, a similarity.

0:20:570:21:01

-You know right away

-that he's a stallion.

0:21:010:21:04

-It's hard to find a weakness in him.

0:21:070:21:11

-That eye.

0:21:130:21:14

-It's so gentle.

0:21:150:21:17

-Eh? Are you friends with everyone?

0:21:200:21:23

-It does complete the circle,

-in a way...

0:21:270:21:30

-..but I don't want it to close.

0:21:310:21:33

-We want it to continue.

0:21:330:21:35

-I don't want it to stop now.

0:21:370:21:39

-I hope there's a future

-for Eyarth ponies at home.

0:21:390:21:43

-That we can carry on breeding.

0:21:440:21:46

-If I can breed stallions

-like him again...

0:21:470:21:51

-..we won't be doing badly.

0:21:520:21:54

-Do you remember me, eh?

0:21:580:22:00

-Do you remember me?

0:22:000:22:01

-Hasn't he been a good boy?

0:22:060:22:07

-Hasn't he been a good boy?

-

-Eh? I've found a long-lost friend.

0:22:070:22:11

-You have, haven't you? Good boy!

0:22:110:22:14

-Well, Joe,

-how does it feel to be here?

0:22:160:22:18

-Amazing.

0:22:200:22:21

-Just, well, a dream come true...

0:22:210:22:24

-..to be honest.

0:22:250:22:26

-In a way, it has confirmed

-what people like Dewi Cwrt said.

0:22:310:22:37

-He came here and met Sama...

0:22:380:22:41

-..and described him as a legend,

-something unreal, in a way.

0:22:420:22:46

-That you felt a thrill

-when you met him.

0:22:470:22:50

-That he was such a unique stallion.

0:22:500:22:53

-In a way, I didn't believe him.

0:22:550:22:58

-But after seeing him

-with my own eyes...

0:22:580:23:02

-..I understand what he meant.

0:23:020:23:05

-There is something unique about him.

0:23:050:23:09

-He's a one-off, I guess.
