-This stallion -was a young foal at the time... | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |

-It's a good name. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:06 | |

-..for me, and for us as a family... | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
-..as we watched Dafydd -win the Prince of Wales Cup. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:55 | |
-It's the best feeling ever. | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |

-..in prime position -for both cobs and sheep. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
-Dafydd's new home is a stone's throw -from the family farm. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:24 | |
-Cefn-gwrthafarn Isaf is a huge house -for a young bachelor. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:29 | |
-The surrounding land... | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
-..is a perfect habitat -for his champion Suffolk sheep. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:35 | |
-I keep my pedigree sheep here. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
-King of your own castle! | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
-Many of these sheep are home-bred. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
-Yes, I'm developing my own lines. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:47 | |

-..has produced several good rams. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |

-Do you use AI? | 0:06:01 | 0:06:02 | |
-Yes, I use AI with all of them. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
-Getting the timing right is tricky. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:07 | |
-Yes, it can be tricky, and the lambs -are all born at the same time. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:12 | |
-A shed is really useful -when the weather is bad. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
-Ewes must give birth, -whatever the weather. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
-I'm lucky to have the shed. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:22 | |
-I could hear the shears -from the bottom of the yard! | 0:06:28 | 0:06:31 | |
-Is this a busy time for you? | 0:06:32 | 0:06:34 | |

-These are lambs? - -Ram lambs, yes. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
-Good gracious, they're big! | 0:06:43 | 0:06:45 | |
-How did you become interested? | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |

-You're doing well. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:04 | |
-Is it like breeding cattle? | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |

-These days, -Continental breeds predominate. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:25 | |
-You need Suffolks for weight. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:27 | |
-If they get any bigger, -you'll need planning permission! | 0:07:28 | 0:07:32 | |
-They're big! | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
-Sion, the younger son, -is a part-time farmer. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
-Agriculture is in his blood... | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
-..but his sights are turned towards -the sea and Llanon village... | 0:07:45 | 0:07:49 | |
-..where he makes sausages. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |

-The younger Frongoy lads -are diversifying... | 0:11:07 | 0:11:11 | |
-..and making a name for themselves -with their sheep. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:15 | |
-But their father, Gwyn, -is a dedicated cob man. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:19 | |
-There are very few people... | 0:11:21 | 0:11:24 | |
-..whose horses -have won so many prizes... | 0:11:24 | 0:11:28 | |
-..and here they are, in one field. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
-All three mares -have won at the Royal Welsh... | 0:11:30 | 0:11:34 | |

-We can trace them back to the 1930s. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |

-Super Model is the youngest mare, -and she won in 2014. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:10 | |
-That's quite a record. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:12 | |
-Yes, it is. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:14 | |
-And each time we win, -that horse is the best ever! | 0:12:14 | 0:12:18 | |
-It spurs us on -to achieve even more. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:21 | |
-We want to carry on winning -and to carry on breeding. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:29 | |
-Sometimes, you look -at a new-born foal... | 0:12:29 | 0:12:32 | |
-..and think, -"This is a good one." | 0:12:32 | 0:12:35 | |

-That's right, a half-sister. - -They're so tame. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:07 | |
-This field -is next to a caravan site... | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
-..and children -bring bread and carrots... | 0:14:11 | 0:14:14 | |
-..which helps to tame them. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:16 | |
-They won't be so tame -when we move them to the house. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:21 | |

-It's a lot of work - -washing, preparing. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:36 | |
-And there's a heck of a lot -of horses to clean out and feed. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:40 | |

-You work as a butcher. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:56 | |
-No wonder -you're keen on making money! | 0:17:57 | 0:18:00 | |
-That's right! | 0:18:00 | 0:18:01 | |
-There's plenty of work -with the sheep. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:04 | |
-You have four different breeds. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:07 | |
-You have four different breeds. - -They're keen on sheep and horses. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:10 | |
-It's a lot of hard work, -but it's worth it. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:14 | |
-It's autumn, and another busy year -of competing draws to an end. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:25 | |
-They've travelled to shows -all over the country. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:28 | |
-Sales begin, and the Llanelwedd -sale is an important event. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:33 | |
-Sales are vital -for creating profits... | 0:18:34 | 0:18:37 | |
-..so that further investment -can be made in the bloodlines... | 0:18:37 | 0:18:42 | |
-..thus securing -Frongoy's continuing success. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:46 | |

-Horses are an infrequent purchase. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:16 | |
-And sales take place -just once a year. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:21 | |
-You take part every year -at the Royal Welsh Show. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:24 | |
-You're eminent competitors. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:27 | |
-It's a good way -of advertising your horses. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
-The bloodlines must be good. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:33 | |
-These days, lots of people -want white markings. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:36 | |
-They want horses for riding. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:39 | |
-But the old type will prevail. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:41 | |
-A cob must be capable -of being ridden... | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
-..but they're better known -for showing in-hand. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:49 | |
-That's our focus. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:51 | |
-Some foals are more suitable -for riding, of course. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:55 | |
-But we hope to show -the best fillies. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:58 | |
-Fortunately, -it's a versatile breed. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:02 | |
-For me, this field -has memorable associations. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:06 | |
-I remember filming the remarkable -old mares in this field. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:10 | |
-It's nice the see -the continuation of the lines. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:14 | |
-The far end of this field... | 0:20:16 | 0:20:18 | |
-..is where we buried the two best -mares, Boneddiges and Welsh Model... | 0:20:19 | 0:20:24 | |
-..next to each other. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:26 | |
-They liked this field, -and here they remain. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:29 | |
-Boneddiges... | 0:20:34 | 0:20:35 | |
-..and Welsh Model. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:38 | |
-They were the stars of Frongoy -when I visited 23 years ago. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:43 | |
-Gwyn was a young lad at the time... | 0:20:45 | 0:20:47 | |
-..running the horses -in front of Defi John and me. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:51 | |
-I could have spent all day -watching them. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:54 | |
-I can still remember the thrill. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:57 | |
-Yes, the roots are deep -in the fertile earth at Frongoy. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:04 | |
-It's so good to see continuity. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:07 | |
-The love of cobs is handed down -from generation to generation. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:14 | |
-It must have been good -to grow up around the old boys. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:19 | |
-It was a pleasure. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:20 | |
-They were like fathers to us. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:23 | |
-How much do you remember? | 0:21:24 | 0:21:25 | |
-You were very young, -the last time I visited. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
-You spent many years -in their company. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:32 | |
-Defi John was the first to go. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:34 | |
-We learned a lot from them, -over the years. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:38 | |
-We spent more time with Brynmor -because he lived longer. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:42 | |
-But I remember Defi John well - -Defi John and his horses. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:46 | |
-It's nice that you're carrying on -with the traditions. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:50 | |
-It's nice to be where you grew up... | 0:21:51 | 0:21:53 | |
-..thinking of them -looking down at you. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:56 | |
-I'm sure they're happy. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
-I'm sure they are. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:00 | |
-Do you always finish -your brother's sentences?! | 0:22:01 | 0:22:05 | |
-I'm sure Defi John... | 0:22:10 | 0:22:12 | |
-..would be delighted -with our successes. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:15 | |
-Dafydd, fair play to him, -is the fifth generation. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:25 | |
-I hope another generation -will follow. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:29 | |
-I remember Defi John -commenting on Dafydd... | 0:22:29 | 0:22:32 | |
-.."I hope I live long enough to -teach him every trick in the book." | 0:22:33 | 0:22:37 | |
-I hope they enjoy it -as much as I've done... | 0:22:41 | 0:22:45 | |
-..and experience the same success. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:47 | |
-I'd be very proud. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:49 | |
