0:00:27 > 0:00:30- A young farrier - from Montgomeryshire...

0:00:30 > 0:00:35- ..made sparks fly at the this year's - Royal Welsh Show in Llanelwedd.

0:00:35 > 0:00:39- For a good cob, the show - in Llanelwedd is the place to be.

0:00:40 > 0:00:42- You have the crowd behind you.

0:00:43 > 0:00:45- There's no better place.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48- No doubt about it...

0:00:48 > 0:00:53- ..Dorian Lloyd's achievements - were the highlight of the 2015 show.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56- He won the Triple Crown - of the Welsh cob world...

0:00:56 > 0:00:58- ..including the championship.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03- It's no surprise, is it?

0:01:04 > 0:01:07- Dorian Lloyd, the farrier...

0:01:07 > 0:01:10- ..and Perthog Gwenan Mai...

0:01:10 > 0:01:13- ..are awarded - the George Prince of Wales Cup.

0:01:24 > 0:01:26- Back in May...

0:01:26 > 0:01:31- ..I had the pleasure of visiting - Dorian and his wife, Michelle...

0:01:31 > 0:01:32- ..at their home.

0:01:33 > 0:01:38- The farm stands above Llanfechain - in glorious Montgomeryshire.

0:01:39 > 0:01:41- The forge, housed in a shed...

0:01:41 > 0:01:43- ..on the farm.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46- ..is home to Dorian's - successful business.

0:01:49 > 0:01:52- Why did you choose - this line of work?

0:01:52 > 0:01:55- There are no farriers - in your family...

0:01:56 > 0:01:59- ..though there are - excellent stockmen.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01- I was raised on a farm.

0:02:01 > 0:02:06- I come from a long line of farmers - on both sides of the family.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10- Farming would have been - the obvious choice for me.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13- But I've always been keen on horses.

0:02:14 > 0:02:18- Mam and Dad didn't really want me - to turn my back on farming...

0:02:19 > 0:02:23- ..but they were happy enough - for me to find another job...

0:02:23 > 0:02:26- ..so I wouldn't - have to rely on farming.

0:02:26 > 0:02:30- Fifteen or 20 years ago, - farming was in a tight corner.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33- I've been fortunate in my work.

0:02:33 > 0:02:37- There's plenty of work to be had - - too much, almost.

0:02:37 > 0:02:41- People say there are more horses - than cattle in the area.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45- Horses are no longer used - for work on farms...

0:02:45 > 0:02:49- ..and the industry - relies a lot on leisure.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56- And important corner, Dorian!

0:02:56 > 0:02:58- Yes, an important corner!

0:02:59 > 0:03:01- This is where everything is stored.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03- A small corner.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06- You make most of your horseshoes - from scratch.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08- Yes, as many as we can.

0:03:09 > 0:03:13- But we don't have time - to make every single horseshoe.

0:03:14 > 0:03:20- When you're showing Welsh cobs, it's - important that they lift their feet.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22- Is the weight of a shoe significant?

0:03:22 > 0:03:23- Is the weight of a shoe significant?- - Yes.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25- These are cobs' shoes.

0:03:25 > 0:03:29- It's a particular type - of horseshoe - it's heavier.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32- When cobs move...

0:03:32 > 0:03:36- ..people like to see plenty - of knee action, as it's called.

0:03:36 > 0:03:40- Cobs lift their feet - and they can cover a lot of ground.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43- There are shoes - of different weights.

0:03:44 > 0:03:48- These horseshoes are aluminium - - a horse would hardly feel them.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51- They're used on racehorses - and show ponies.

0:03:52 > 0:03:56- Cobs are a completely - different case.

0:03:56 > 0:04:00- Cobs like to pick their knees up - in order to cover the ground.

0:04:00 > 0:04:06- Ponies prefer a lighter shoe and - they don't flex their knees so much.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09- What about show jumping?

0:04:09 > 0:04:11- Your wife is a keen show jumper.

0:04:11 > 0:04:16- Show jumping shoes are similar - to ordinary horseshoes...

0:04:16 > 0:04:21- ..but they feature - what we call stud holes.

0:04:22 > 0:04:26- Basically, there's a thread - within the hole...

0:04:26 > 0:04:30- ..and it's exactly the same - as fitting studs to rugby boots.

0:04:31 > 0:04:35- There are studs you can fit - to provide a better grip...

0:04:35 > 0:04:40- ..so when you're competing, the - extra grip allows better jumping.

0:04:42 > 0:04:46- Feet are the most important parts - of the body...

0:04:46 > 0:04:49- ..for humans as well as horses.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51- Yes, they're important.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54- If we're talking about cobs...

0:04:54 > 0:04:59- ..feet make the difference between - moving well and not moving at all.

0:04:59 > 0:05:04- A horse that feels good on its feet, - feels good in itself...

0:05:05 > 0:05:07- ..and it performs better.

0:05:07 > 0:05:11- The forge is a brand-new investment - as the business grows.

0:05:12 > 0:05:17- But in a rural area, a farrier - must travel to his customers.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20- The blue van - is a four-wheeled forge.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23- Everything you need is in here.

0:05:23 > 0:05:28- Yes, everything I need - when I'm out shoeing horses.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31- This provides fire - - what we call a forge.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34- It's fuelled by the gas containers - at the front.

0:05:35 > 0:05:39- There's a stand that holds - the anvil - a vital piece of kit.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43- There are other things - that make my life easier.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45- Drawers to hold nails.

0:05:45 > 0:05:50- There are different sizes and - thicknesses, for various purposes.

0:05:50 > 0:05:55- There are tools I use - to make or adapt horseshoes.

0:05:56 > 0:05:57- Good gracious.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59- What's that belt?

0:05:59 > 0:06:03- The belt is called a linisher - - a type of belt grinder.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06- It spins, - and it runs on electricity.

0:06:06 > 0:06:10- It's used to smooth - the edge of a horseshoe...

0:06:10 > 0:06:13- ..so there aren't - any sharp surfaces.

0:06:13 > 0:06:17- I'll come with you, - but don't ask me to fetch anything!

0:06:17 > 0:06:20- I'll fetch and carry, - you can do the shoeing!

0:06:29 > 0:06:34- How old were you when you moved - from Machynlleth to Llanfechain?

0:06:34 > 0:06:38- I began attending a college - in Herefordshire...

0:06:38 > 0:06:40- ..when I was 16 years old...

0:06:40 > 0:06:43- ..and then I served - my apprenticeship...

0:06:44 > 0:06:47- ..with a local farrier in Welshpool.

0:06:47 > 0:06:51- I was 17 years old - when I started working with him.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54- So I've been living in this area - ever since.

0:06:54 > 0:06:59- It's six or seven years since - I came to live here permanently.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01- The years fly by.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09- Lots of horses are kept - in this area.

0:07:09 > 0:07:14- Yes, and lots of different horses - doing various types of things.

0:07:14 > 0:07:19- There isn't a heavy concentration - of show horses, or cobs...

0:07:19 > 0:07:20- ..or hunters.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24- There's a bit of everything, - all types of horses...

0:07:25 > 0:07:29- ..from racehorses to Shetlands - to huge Shire horses.

0:07:30 > 0:07:34- For a farrier, it's good to be able - to shoe all kinds of horses.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36- I'm sure it is.

0:07:44 > 0:07:48- There's something very special - about these horses.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50- They're show jumpers.

0:07:51 > 0:07:57- They compete at a high level, - and they travel all over Europe.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01- Some of the horses - have just come back...

0:08:02 > 0:08:04- ..after two or three weeks in Italy.

0:08:05 > 0:08:08- I usually shoe them a week or so - before they leave...

0:08:09 > 0:08:12- ..so they'll be well-shod - for competing.

0:08:12 > 0:08:16- Have you ever been injured - or kicked?

0:08:17 > 0:08:19- Yes, once or twice.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23- Unfortunately, - it comes with the job.

0:08:24 > 0:08:26- Yes, I've been belted a few times.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29- You brush yourself off and carry on.

0:08:30 > 0:08:34- Have you ever been kicked - after presenting your bill?!

0:08:34 > 0:08:36- No - that would hurt a great deal!

0:08:37 > 0:08:39- What a healthy smell from that hoof!

0:08:40 > 0:08:41- Yes!

0:08:43 > 0:08:46- Your nose is further away from it - than mine!

0:08:52 > 0:08:55- People place their pride and joy - in your hands...

0:08:56 > 0:08:59- ..and you hammer nails - into their precious horse!

0:09:00 > 0:09:04- Some people have more regard - for their horse than their partner!

0:09:05 > 0:09:09- You could make - the world's best horseshoes...

0:09:09 > 0:09:13- ..but if you can't handle horses, - you're in trouble.

0:09:13 > 0:09:17- You need to understand horses, - and horses must have faith in you.

0:09:18 > 0:09:22- Horses must feel safe - when you're handling their feet.

0:09:23 > 0:09:25- It takes years of practice.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27- It's a major part of the work.

0:09:42 > 0:09:47- She shied a bit, just now - - did something spook her?

0:09:47 > 0:09:51- Yes, she was spooked by the smoke.

0:09:52 > 0:09:56- I don't think she's experienced - hot shoeing before.

0:09:56 > 0:10:00- With hot shoeing, you apply - a hot shoe to the hoof...

0:10:00 > 0:10:03- ..so that it becomes - part of the foot.

0:10:03 > 0:10:07- In Ireland, they don't always - practise hot shoeing...

0:10:07 > 0:10:10- ..and this mare - has just come from Ireland.

0:10:10 > 0:10:14- When you apply a hot shoe, - it causes noise and smoke...

0:10:14 > 0:10:16- ..which spooked her.

0:10:16 > 0:10:20- She might be happier - with cold shoeing instead...

0:10:20 > 0:10:22- ..and if she's happy, I'm happy.

0:10:23 > 0:10:25- There's a common saying...

0:10:25 > 0:10:29- .."In the sweat of thy face - shalt thou eat bread."

0:10:29 > 0:10:32- In my opinion, - you fully deserve a Swiss roll!

0:10:41 > 0:10:44- How big is your catchment area?

0:10:44 > 0:10:48- All my clients are within - an hour's journey from home.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51- I may spend all day - at one location...

0:10:52 > 0:10:56- ..or I may split the day - between several locations...

0:10:56 > 0:10:58- ..two, or eight, or ten.

0:10:58 > 0:11:02- It all depends on the work - that needs doing...

0:11:02 > 0:11:04- ..and how often the phone rings.

0:11:07 > 0:11:11- The next job is on the outskirts - of Llanfair Caereinion.

0:11:11 > 0:11:16- A good customer and friend, and - a fellow champion cob breeder.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19- It's the television commentator - David Oliver.

0:11:22 > 0:11:23- Alright?

0:11:24 > 0:11:25- How are you?

0:11:25 > 0:11:26- How are you?- - Fine, thanks.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28- It's nice to see you at home.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30- Are you ready?

0:11:30 > 0:11:32- The mare's in the shed.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34- Are you happy with my apprentice?

0:11:35 > 0:11:36- We'll see!

0:11:36 > 0:11:40- If the mare doesn't measure up, - we'll be off!

0:12:02 > 0:12:04- She has good feet, David.

0:12:05 > 0:12:06- Yes.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09- She's been kept inside all winter.

0:12:09 > 0:12:14- She hasn't been touched since - last summer, so she needs trimming.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16- It's good to have a mobile farrier.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19- Good farriers are hard to find.

0:12:19 > 0:12:21- We're lucky to have Dorian.

0:12:21 > 0:12:24- We've been clients - ever since he qualified.

0:12:25 > 0:12:30- It's nice, at shows, when judges - praise the way horses are shod.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33- Feet can change - a horse's appearance.

0:12:33 > 0:12:36- Feet must be at the correct angle.

0:12:36 > 0:12:41- It's amazing, how this can alter - the angle of the leg as a whole.

0:12:41 > 0:12:44- You can't build a house - on poor foundations.

0:12:49 > 0:12:51- Thank you.

0:12:51 > 0:12:52- She's looking better, now.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54- She's looking better, now.- - Yes, much better.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57- She'll be able to move faster.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00- Paying is the difficult part!

0:13:01 > 0:13:02- .

0:13:28 > 0:13:32- Meifod and the towns of Oswestry - and Welshpool are nearby.

0:13:33 > 0:13:37- The family farm stands above - the village of Llanfechain.

0:13:39 > 0:13:41- The farm is called Bryncynfelin...

0:13:41 > 0:13:47- ..and Dorian and Michelle's home - is called Llety'r Gof.

0:13:50 > 0:13:54- The young couple's new home stands - on the site of an old cowshed...

0:13:54 > 0:13:56- ..in a delightful spot.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59- The view is magnificent.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03- Yes, we're very fortunate.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05- It's a typically Welsh view.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09- Your wife was raised on this farm.

0:14:09 > 0:14:11- Yes.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14- Did you meet - at the Young Farmers' Club?

0:14:14 > 0:14:17- No, we met - during my apprenticeship...

0:14:17 > 0:14:20- ..when I came here to shoe horses.

0:14:21 > 0:14:26- I thought you were talking about - your apprenticeship in courting!

0:14:27 > 0:14:28- That came later!

0:14:29 > 0:14:32- When I was an apprentice, - I'd come here to shoe horses.

0:14:34 > 0:14:37- Michelle made the most - of the opportunity!

0:14:40 > 0:14:42- We're very fortunate.

0:14:42 > 0:14:44- We have a shared interest in horses.

0:14:45 > 0:14:48- I like to think - we work well as a team.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56- These horses are something else, - Michelle.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59- Or I'm told they call you Mickey.

0:14:59 > 0:15:00- Yes, they do.

0:15:00 > 0:15:03- Most people know me as Mickey.

0:15:03 > 0:15:07- The interests are different, - but they're all horses.

0:15:08 > 0:15:11- Show jumping and eventing - is your world.

0:15:11 > 0:15:13- Always has been...

0:15:13 > 0:15:16- ..from when I was a young girl.

0:15:17 > 0:15:23- My taid always used to take me - around the shows at weekends.

0:15:23 > 0:15:28- I think he's to blame, really, - that I've gone into horses.

0:15:28 > 0:15:31- But, you know, - a good horse is a good horse...

0:15:32 > 0:15:34- ..after all's said and done.

0:15:34 > 0:15:38- The cobs and your jumping horses - fit in, hand in glove.

0:15:38 > 0:15:39- Yes, they do.

0:15:40 > 0:15:42- A horse is a horse.

0:15:42 > 0:15:46- We look for the same things - in both types of breeds.

0:15:46 > 0:15:50- Obviously, they're doing - two different jobs...

0:15:50 > 0:15:54- ..but we want them to be right - with their bloodlines...

0:15:54 > 0:15:58- ..and we look for conformation for - them to do each individual job.

0:16:04 > 0:16:07- No other horse in the world - can compare with cobs.

0:16:07 > 0:16:09- No, not in my opinion.

0:16:09 > 0:16:14- At its best, - a cob is a wonderful horse.

0:16:15 > 0:16:18- It's marvellous, the way they move.

0:16:18 > 0:16:21- Were there cobs at the farm - before you arrived?

0:16:22 > 0:16:22- No.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24- No.- - You were the first cob!

0:16:24 > 0:16:26- Yes!

0:16:26 > 0:16:29- The rest of the cobs soon followed.

0:16:29 > 0:16:34- Previously, Michelle's family - kept show jumpers and eventers...

0:16:34 > 0:16:36- ..warmbloods and thoroughbreds...

0:16:37 > 0:16:41- ..though Michelle's grandfather - also bred Shire horses...

0:16:41 > 0:16:46- ..and he became interested - in cobs as well.

0:16:46 > 0:16:50- Now, we have more cobs - - they're slowly taking over.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53- Tell me about the foal's sire.

0:16:53 > 0:16:57- The foal's sire is called Orient - Express - we call him Chuffer.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59- He's one of our own stallions.

0:17:00 > 0:17:02- The mare is called Rhosyn Gwyn.

0:17:02 > 0:17:06- Are there any particular bloodlines - that interest you?

0:17:06 > 0:17:09- You're establishing your own herd.

0:17:09 > 0:17:11- I want something that looks good.

0:17:12 > 0:17:17- I began by attending shows - and buying catalogues.

0:17:17 > 0:17:21- If anything caught my eye, - I'd mark the number.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23- I didn't look at its breeding.

0:17:23 > 0:17:28- At the end of the week, after - attending three or four shows...

0:17:28 > 0:17:34- ..I'd review my notes, - check up on unfamiliar bloodlines...

0:17:34 > 0:17:36- ..and stick with them.

0:17:37 > 0:17:41- I like a cob that moves well, - and which also has solid substance.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44- That foal shows character...

0:17:44 > 0:17:47- ..and I like the way - it moves its front legs...

0:17:47 > 0:17:50- ..and the way it carries its head.

0:17:50 > 0:17:52- It comes naturally to cobs.

0:17:52 > 0:17:57- Cobs with a bold, - self-confident nature...

0:17:57 > 0:18:00- ..makes showing a lot easier.

0:18:00 > 0:18:04- In my opinion, it's an integral part - of a cob's character.

0:18:17 > 0:18:19- This mare is called Candy.

0:18:37 > 0:18:40- He thinks a lot of himself, - as you can see.

0:18:40 > 0:18:42- He thinks he's quite a lad.

0:18:42 > 0:18:45- We breed pure show jumpers...

0:18:45 > 0:18:50- ..and we're also trying to combine - show jumping and cob qualities.

0:18:51 > 0:18:54- We're aiming - at three different markets...

0:18:54 > 0:18:57- ..cobs, part-breds, - and show jumpers.

0:18:57 > 0:19:01- Breeding in all three areas - has led to successes.

0:19:01 > 0:19:05- The home is filled - with trophies and rosettes...

0:19:38 > 0:19:40- We think the world of this mare.- - What else do you have?

0:19:40 > 0:19:45- There are a few more horses we've - brought in, such as the stallion.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47- That sounds good.

0:19:51 > 0:19:55- Here he is - the stallion, - Haighmoor Orient Express.

0:19:55 > 0:20:00- He won the Section D Best Stallion, - Colt or Gelding award...

0:20:33 > 0:20:37- Railway - Derwen Railway Express - was his sire.

0:20:37 > 0:20:40- He must be among the last - of his offspring.

0:20:40 > 0:20:44- He's the last one, - the last stallion by Railway.

0:20:44 > 0:20:49- His head shows a lot of character - and he has such large, soft eyes.

0:20:49 > 0:20:51- He has kind eyes.

0:20:51 > 0:20:55- His eyes are very eye-catching, - if you see what I mean.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58- He has very nice hindquarters too.

0:21:17 > 0:21:20- And he comes from old bloodlines...

0:21:20 > 0:21:24- ..that have been tried and tested - over many generations.

0:21:24 > 0:21:29- That's one reason why I bought him - - to acquire those bloodlines.

0:21:29 > 0:21:34- He's in the stables at the moment, - with mares and fillies nearby.

0:21:34 > 0:21:36- He's very good with his mares.

0:21:36 > 0:21:41- It's the best of both worlds - we - can use him and we can show him.

0:21:41 > 0:21:42- We're very lucky.

0:22:25 > 0:22:29- This comes out in my character, - at times, and it's no bad thing.

0:22:30 > 0:22:34- What you get from something - depends on how much you put into it.
