0:00:17 > 0:00:21- The Welsh cob is unique to Wales.
0:00:21 > 0:00:25- It's a strong horse, - full of spirit and character.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28- It was the backbone - of agriculture...
0:00:29 > 0:00:32- ..drawing the plough, - taking the farmer to market...
0:00:33 > 0:00:36- ..or ferrying the family - to the Sunday service.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40- We owe a huge debt - to the Welsh cob.
0:00:48 > 0:00:54- I'm on Gwynfaes farm - in Hermon, Carmarthenshire.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57- It's the home of true Welsh cobs.
0:00:57 > 0:01:02- It's also home to Meirion Evans, - his wife, Diane, and his son, Caleb.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05- They specialize in Welsh cobs.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09- If I named just one, - Gwynfaes Culhwch...
0:01:10 > 0:01:12- ..you'd know exactly where I am.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- The Section D Welsh cob stallion.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- There's a special celebration - taking place here.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24- When that happens, - I try to be around.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26- I hope Meirion's up there somewhere.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56- This is where you are, Meirion.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- The old horse is looking good.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01- He's keeping quite well.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02- He's keeping quite well.- - How old is he now?
0:02:03 > 0:02:04- He's 20 this year.
0:02:04 > 0:02:05- He's 20 this year.- - Is he?
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- He's a nice horse - with a good base.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09- He's not bad all over.
0:02:10 > 0:02:15- My grandfather always said - you need good legs and clean hocks.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19- He's made his mark as a sire.
0:02:19 > 0:02:20- Oh, yes.
0:02:21 > 0:02:27- He won the Prince of Wales in 2002.
0:02:29 > 0:02:34- He's gone on to be a good stallion, - producing good stock.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39- There are a lot about, - horses that he's sired.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43- Yes, he's done very well.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47- Three of them have won gold medals - at the Royal Welsh.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49- You use just AI, do you?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- Yes, for about nine years.
0:02:51 > 0:02:52- Yes, for about nine years.- - Nine years?
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- He hasn't been near a mare - for nine years.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58- It means he can be more productive.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- He's an exceptional animal.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02- He does go out.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06- We've got a paddock up top - and he's been out there.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08- But he comes out here every day.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- He can move, - his action is incredible.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- We'll have a look at his offspring.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- My grandfather set great stock - in a good tail set on a horse.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- He's 20 years old, - and his back end is still right.
0:03:23 > 0:03:24- Small ears.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- Everything Dad-cu said, - I hope he has them.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- Is this a son of his?
0:03:40 > 0:03:41- Is this a son of his?- - Yes, one of them.
0:03:41 > 0:03:46- This is one of eight - full brothers or sisters.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51- One mare we have - has had eight foals out of Culhwch.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- They all bear the name Gwledig.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58- Macsen Wledig, - Cyleddon Wledig, Cynan Wledig...
0:03:58 > 0:04:02- ..Seren Wledig, - which won at Lampeter.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- That's up with Dorian and Michelle.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- Having the right names - on the horses...
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- ..means so much, doesn't it?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- The English - may have trouble saying them...
0:04:17 > 0:04:19- ..but they still buy them.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- It's lovely to have that name, - like the princes of Wales.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24- Of course.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25- Whoa, whoa.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28- You don't want too many foals.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- No, I usually stick at four now.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- We once had as many as ten a year.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- No, I don't want...
0:04:36 > 0:04:42- To be honest, we only have - ones that match Culhwch now.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- You don't want to sell them, - you want people to covet them.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52- Three or four is no problem, - the demand is high enough.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- There's something - about a cob's head.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57- There's no other horse like it.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59- There'll be no show without these.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- There'll be no show without these.- - No, there won't.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- People come - from all over the world.
0:05:06 > 0:05:11- It doesn't matter where in the world - these horses go...
0:05:11 > 0:05:16- ..the people who understand - the breed are in Wales.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18- Yes, that's right.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21- You can take him for a run now.
0:05:21 > 0:05:22- You can take him for a run now.- - Right.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- For me, that's the benefit of AI.
0:05:39 > 0:05:45- When Culhwch was in his prime, - he'd cover four or five mares a day.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49- We had to start early - with a proven mare.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- In a couple of hours, - we'd try other mares.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Now, I collect the semen - in the morning.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- If we have four mares to cover, - I divide the semen by four.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- Every mare gets semen - of the same quality.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06- There are no negatives.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- He doesn't go - from one mare to another.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- No germs are transferred, - and we use new liners each time.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- Hygiene is inherent in the system, - no germs are transferred.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- We don't know what mares come here.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26- You're in here.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28- Yes, that's right.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- I put a filter - in this bottle here.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36- This then goes into this as a liner, - to keep things clean.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40- I'll use tape to be safe, - in case the pressure gets too high.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- And you do it all here on the farm?
0:06:43 > 0:06:44- Oh, yes.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- I went on a course at Twemlows Hall.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- A two-day course.
0:06:50 > 0:06:55- I've done it with cattle, - and this is much easier.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57- This goes in here.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02- I saw the boys - at Twemlows collecting.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- It was a two-man job.
0:07:06 > 0:07:11- I thought there must be a dummy...
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- ..that I could operate by myself.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- I put this around there.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19- This holds it in place...
0:07:19 > 0:07:21- ..so that it doesn't come off.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27- And you get pretty good results?
0:07:27 > 0:07:28- And you get pretty good results?- - Yes, pretty good.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- Some need repeats.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- This mare is repeating this year...
0:07:33 > 0:07:39- ..but as a rule, it's as effective - as actually covering a mare.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- Water goes into this - to keep it warm...
0:07:42 > 0:07:47- ..so that he doesn't feel cold.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06- Now, we can collect the semen...
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- ..when he's at his best.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13- I collect every other day at most.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17- A mare is being done today, - then I might leave it.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22- I feel Culhwch gets more peace, - that there's less strain on him.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- You feel that the horse is happier.
0:08:25 > 0:08:31- One or two mares would be fine, - he'd come out jumping and prancing.
0:08:31 > 0:08:37- I don't want to overwork him, - because he's a popular horse.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- But a few mares come, - and the strain was greater.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45- This way, we hope to get - one or two extra years out of him.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- If you have a quality horse...
0:09:03 > 0:09:08- ..you expect him to reproduce - the strong traits in his character.
0:09:09 > 0:09:14- In Culhwch's case, - his action, the quality in his legs.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- Because it's in him...
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- Culhwch is a horse that can move.
0:09:22 > 0:09:23- It's in his blood.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24- It's in Culhwch...
0:09:24 > 0:09:28- ..and that's why so many - of his progeny move as they do.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32- There it is.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34- The semen is down there.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36- This is gel.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39- It won't go through the filter.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41- It's like jelly.
0:09:41 > 0:09:42- It's like jelly.- - A hundred mill?!
0:09:43 > 0:09:44- Is that enough for two mares?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- Is that enough for two mares?- - It's enough for five mares.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- Tell me, how long will this last - before it's used on a mare?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53- Even like this, - it'll be OK for an hour.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58- If we store it in a cool box...
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- ..with what's called an extender - on top of it...
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- ..and ice packs around it...
0:10:05 > 0:10:11- They cool it, and the semen - goes to sleep, it slows down.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15- They use less energy, - they stay alive, because they go...
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- Yes, I've seen them on a plate.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22- When they're inseminated, - they warm up and perk up.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24- A lot of the sperm are still alive.
0:10:24 > 0:10:25- A lot of the sperm are still alive.- - Do you inseminate them?
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- Yes, I'll be doing it now - with the repeat mare.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31- Hold on and I'll do it now.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33- Hold on and I'll do it now.- - You learn something every day.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43- .

0:10:46 > 0:10:48- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- This is the story - of a stunning stallion.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55- Gwynfaes Culhwch.
0:10:56 > 0:11:01- He has topped the sire ratings - for ten consecutive years.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06- It's some achievement - by Meirion Gwynfaes' Welsh cob.
0:11:06 > 0:11:11- He's a breeder who does it all, - from AI to feeding.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- You hold this, right.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16- Whoa, girl.
0:11:17 > 0:11:18- Whoa, girl.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24- Hold her tail now, on the top there.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26- Don't get your hand close.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32- OTHER HORSES WHINNY
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- They know what's going on.
0:11:37 > 0:11:43- I can feel that the cervix - is open ready, so no problem.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- I'll push in about two inches.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- Right, here we are.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59- Out it comes, empty.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- It's important to withdraw slowly.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07- If I withdraw too quickly, - it creates a vacuum.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- Fair play, you've taught me the art.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- I've been doing it for years now.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18- All I can hope is that you get one - as pretty as the one she has now.
0:12:18 > 0:12:19- I'm hoping so too.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22- A few like that one.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- There we are, all clean and tidy.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29- If someone has phoned wanting one...
0:12:29 > 0:12:33- ..I'll take it out of this - and keep it in the cool box.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37- It'll do more than one mare.
0:12:38 > 0:12:43- They'll be in heat for five days, - and the fourth day is best.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47- If you know when they're coming in, - the fourth day is best.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49- They ovulate in 24 hours after that.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- They ovulate in 24 hours after that.- - What if you feel they need more?
0:12:53 > 0:12:54- I give them more.
0:12:54 > 0:12:59- Mares come here, and neither I - or the owner know when they came on.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03- I might insert a syringe - as a little banker, you know.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- Then I'll keep trying - every other day.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07- That's how I do it.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- I'm not saying it's perfect, - but it does work.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- If it wasn't - for health and safety...
0:13:16 > 0:13:20- I have taken the stuff - in a bottle before now...
0:13:20 > 0:13:24- ..and done it in the field, - but never with a mare I don't know.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- I know my own mares.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27- I know which ones.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- I know which ones.- - Think how a lot of these boys are.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- It's nothing for them - to take a mare...
0:13:34 > 0:13:38- ..from the Vale of Glamorgan - up to Anglesey or England.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41- I've posted semen to Scotland...
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- ..and it's there - by nine the next morning.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48- It's amazing - how small Britain is by post.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- Meirion's grandfather - was a big influence on him.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58- He admired him greatly.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03- He still influences him today - in his way with horses.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- Dad-cu was a big horse man.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13- Having spent over 20 years with him, - I hope I learnt something from him.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- You've learnt from someone.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17- He was a great man.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20- I went to school in Llandysul.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24- But I was never there - on the last Thursday of a month.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26- I was at Llanybydder mart.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30- With the data in schools today, - they'd have soon found out...
0:14:30 > 0:14:33- ..that I was always absent - on the last Thursday.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- But I was starting to learn.
0:14:36 > 0:14:41- So, it was your grandfather - who made you such a fan of the cobs?
0:14:41 > 0:14:44- Oh, yes, totally. No-one else.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45- No-one else.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46- He was a horse man.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50- In Llanybydder, - he'd go in among the horses.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52- He wouldn't look from afar.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56- In he'd go, among the foals - and colts, lifting their tails...
0:14:56 > 0:15:00- ..to check that the joints - and hind legs were right.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- He always looked down, - not up at the head.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05- If the head was good, fine.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07- But without good legs, forget it.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09- Forget it.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11- He wanted clean joints and quality.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- Make sure they have - a good head and tail carriage.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17- That the rear was right, every time.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19- That was his advice.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23- It's brought you - the Prince of Wales Cup...
0:15:24 > 0:15:26- ..and many other prizes.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31- But I understand that the prize - you value highest of all...
0:15:31 > 0:15:35- ..is that Culhwch has made - such an impression on the breed.
0:15:35 > 0:15:36- Oh, yes.
0:15:36 > 0:15:42- For him to go on - and top the sire ratings...
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- ..for ten years in a row - is incredible.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- You'll never do it - with just your own horses.
0:15:48 > 0:15:54- It takes several foals - before you can challenge for it.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- You won't win it - with one horse, one foal.
0:15:57 > 0:16:02- I'd say that between 16 and 20...
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- ..of Culhwch's progeny - are shown every year.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07- That's why he's lauded.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11- This is the first year - that I've considered it.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- He's reached a milestone, - he's done it, a decade.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20- When he won it for the third year, - I had a dream.
0:16:21 > 0:16:26- That the ring at the Royal Welsh - was full of Culhwch's progeny.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27- I had that dream.
0:16:27 > 0:16:32- I kept it to myself - and didn't say anything for years.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36- When he had topped the ratings - for seven, eight years...
0:16:36 > 0:16:40- ..I thought about gathering - his progeny in one place.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44- I decided to do it - at Carmarthen showground.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49- The facilities are great, - and I think we have over 50 coming.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54- People are coming - from all over the world.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56- It's good for Wales, isn't it?
0:16:56 > 0:16:57- It's good for Wales, isn't it?- - Of course it is.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31- They're coming one by one now, - then we've got a couple of groups.
0:17:31 > 0:17:32- Full siblings.
0:17:33 > 0:17:38- Then they'll all come in together, - and Culhwch will come in at the end.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42- Culhwch's progeny - have gone all over the world.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44- Yes, it has.
0:17:44 > 0:17:50- We decided to take his semen - when he was fairly young.
0:17:50 > 0:17:55- We sent some - to Australia, America...
0:17:55 > 0:17:57- ..and New Zealand.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01- As a result, - foals of his have been born there.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- They create interest, - and they've come over.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10- What part of the world are you from?
0:18:10 > 0:18:11- What part of the world are you from?- - Indiana, USA.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12- Is that right?
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- Obviously, - you have the breeding over there.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18- I have three Culhwch foals.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- What size stud of cobs - have you as a family?
0:18:22 > 0:18:24- We probably have 16.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- What brought you first here?
0:18:27 > 0:18:28- Just reading about the cobs?
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- Just reading about the cobs?- - I went to a show in Missouri, USA.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33- Meirion was judging.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38- Culhwch had just won at Lampeter, - as a three-year-old, I believe.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- He brought a video, and I said...
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- .."That's what I want - in my breeding programmes."
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- I have two more ladies from abroad.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54- Ladies, what country are you from?
0:18:54 > 0:18:55- Ladies, what country are you from?- - New Zealand.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57- Really? You've come a fair way.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58- Really? You've come a fair way.- - Yes!
0:18:59 > 0:19:00- How many cobs have you over there?
0:19:00 > 0:19:02- How many cobs have you over there?- - I've got five.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04- What country are you from?
0:19:04 > 0:19:05- What country are you from?- - I'm from Australia.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08- Do you show the cobs at all?
0:19:09 > 0:19:10- We show them at home.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- We breed them, - show them and event them.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16- Harness and dressage and everything.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- What do you like about them? - What attracted you?
0:19:20 > 0:19:24- For me, they're incredibly loyal, - sensitive but sensible.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26- I just love them.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- I wish everyone would ride them.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31- You don't have to work them - all the time.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- They're wonderful animals to ride.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38- The atmosphere when you see them - at the Royal Welsh as well.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- You can't do anything - but fall in love with that.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- The Royal Welsh Wednesday - is one sacred day...
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- ..for us as a nation - and the world as horse lovers.
0:19:49 > 0:19:54- There's nothing in the world - like it, nothing I've ever seen.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56- Melbourne Cup, maybe, in Australia.
0:19:57 > 0:19:58- Stick to maybe!
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- It's wonderful to have - an afternoon like this...
0:20:08 > 0:20:10- ..in the county where he was bred.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- These people who come from abroad.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- Do they call to see - the progeny you have at home?
0:20:16 > 0:20:18- No messing, no messing.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22- They've travelled so far.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26- I'd never go as far - as some of these have done.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30- They think the world - of Culhwch, to be honest.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35- They've made an incredible effort - to get here.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39- I'm trying to show a horse - from rural Carmarthenshire...
0:20:39 > 0:20:43- ..how far he's gone - and how much one horse has achieved.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45- That's Culhwch's strength.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48- What he has given back to the breed.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51- Many horses have beaten him...
0:20:51 > 0:20:55- ..but they haven't given back - the quality he has to the breed.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10- Did it ever cross your mind...
0:21:10 > 0:21:12- Did you ever get an offer?
0:21:12 > 0:21:14- Would you have sold him?
0:21:14 > 0:21:16- Yes, well, I did get an offer.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18- No, not an offer.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20- I'll tell you what happened.
0:21:21 > 0:21:26- John Williams Crug-y-bar - wanted to come down to see him.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28- He wanted to buy him.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31- I didn't really want - to keep a stallion.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- I told him to come down.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37- Culhwch was the type of foal - who was never with his mother.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- He was nosing around - or standing by the gate.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42- Never with his mother.
0:21:42 > 0:21:47- I've got a similar filly this year, - she goes where she pleases.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51- He'd stand there, with his tail up.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- We went down - and Culhwch was laying there.
0:21:54 > 0:22:00- I told John, "Get him to stand," - so that he was seen at his best.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01- "Get him to stand."
0:22:01 > 0:22:03- He stood...
0:22:03 > 0:22:05- ..like a calf, head down.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07- I thought, what's up with him?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- "No, I think I'll leave him," - said John.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14- It didn't surprise me - because he wasn't showing at all.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16- The next day, he was like a bird.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21- It's as if he was meant to be here, - and he's been here ever since.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25- I've got one more question for you.
0:22:25 > 0:22:31- I'd think that you live - what is the ideal life for you.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33- Horses that you've bred yourself.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- You do everything for them.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- They're an integral part - of your life.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43- Are you happy to carry on - come what may?
0:22:43 > 0:22:44- Oh, yes.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- Try to keep doing your own thing.
0:22:47 > 0:22:48- Be happy in your own skin.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50- I'm a firm believer in that.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55- Look over the stable door - and be happy with what's in there.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59- Don't look at the cups - in the trophy cabinet.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02- If you're happy - with what's in your stable...
0:23:03 > 0:23:04- ..you'll keep going.
0:23:04 > 0:23:10- Myself, I smile by the stable door, - not by the door of the cabinet.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- I'll take that - as a prophet's prayer.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17- That's how I am, anyway.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21- Whenever I see Culhwch, - he brings a smile to my face.
