0:12:01 > 0:12:03- I wasn't very good at helping!
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- I now know - I need to get more exercise.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- You've got to be fit - if you want to be a farmer.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- I feel - farmers deserve a lot of respect.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- There are a lot of jobs to do here.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27- It's really really hard work.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- Is there anything else I can do?
0:12:31 > 0:12:33- Yes - herd the sheep.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35- Good idea.

0:13:14 > 0:13:18- I had to make noises and move around - to try to move them.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25- He knows some long words.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- It's not easy - for Thai people to learn Welsh.

0:20:49 > 0:20:54- We start by preparing the pork - because it takes time to cook.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56- Yes. OK.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59- What's the Welsh word for skin?
0:20:59 > 0:21:00- What's the Welsh word for skin?- - Croen.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04- We don't need the skin.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- We've finished slicing the pork.

0:21:15 > 0:21:16- OK.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20- It contains a secret ingredient.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23- It contains a secret ingredient.- - It won't be a secret after tonight!
0:21:26 > 0:21:28- This is the crushed, raw spice.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32- It comes from Thailand.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35- Finished.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37- This goes in the oven.

0:22:33 > 0:22:38- I've been wondering what I'd cook - for you if I were making supper.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40- I think I'd cook lamb.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44- Lobscouse is a popular dish, - especially in the winter.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53- I think the next thing I'm going - to suggest is a Llyn Peninsula dish.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55- It contains buttermilk.
0:22:55 > 0:23:00- It doesn't sound very nice - but it really is quite nice.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04- You start by frying bacon.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07- Add an onion.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09- Boil potatoes, then mash them.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- Put the mash, - bacon and onion in a bowl...
0:23:12 > 0:23:14- ..and add buttermilk.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19- Next, we'll cut up the meat.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22- We want some small pieces.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29- In Thailand, - we cut them into tiny pieces.
0:23:30 > 0:23:31- Are these too big?
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- There's no need to worry about that.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37- He's telling me off!
0:23:39 > 0:23:42- The next step - is to put everything in this bowl.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44- What's bowl in Welsh?
0:23:44 > 0:23:45- What's bowl in Welsh?- - Powlen.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50- We put everything in this bowl - and mix it all together.
0:23:50 > 0:23:51- What's mix in Welsh?
0:23:51 > 0:23:53- What's mix in Welsh?- - Cymysgu.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56- Mix it all, then we've finished.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01- The family has come to the table - and everyone's hungry.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06- This is jasmine rice - with spicy pork salad. Enjoy.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09- Thank you. I can't wait to taste it.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11- Cheers!
0:24:15 > 0:24:18- We've had - two interesting days with him.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22- It was a new experience for us too.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26- I like the lad. - He has a brilliant personality.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30- You've cooked the meat nicely.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35- He's welcome - to come back here any time.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40- I'm not overly keen on pork - but this is lovely.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45- I thought you only had mint with - lamb but it goes well with pork too.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50- I feel really sad - to be leaving the Jones family.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54- They were nice to me.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56- They're really nice people.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59- They taught me a lot of things.
0:25:05 > 0:25:10- Thank you very much to each one - of you for this great opportunity...
0:25:11 > 0:25:15- ..to learn more - about the Welsh language...

0:26:11 > 0:26:15- We're used to seeing horses race, - jump and do dressage.
0:26:15 > 0:26:20- We can forget that horses work too, - as they've done for centuries.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22- They're big, strong and capable.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24- In this programme...
0:26:24 > 0:26:28- ..we see them at work - in three different situations.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30- Welcome to Ceffylau Cymru.

0:27:45 > 0:27:48- David trains - with South Wales Police horses...
0:27:49 > 0:27:54- ..and I tread carefully - with carriage master, Mark Evans.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- Our journey begins - in the Nantlle Valley...
0:27:57 > 0:28:00- ..with a workhorse called Bill.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21- Kevin Taylor and Gaynor Lewis...
0:28:21 > 0:28:24- ..live in the idyllic Hafod Las.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28- They have a close bond - with their horses, especially Bill.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35- Gaynor, this is the 21st century - and we have big tractors.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39- What place does the workhorse have - in this world?
0:28:40 > 0:28:44- Personally, I feel that - the workhorse is magical.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50- The two of you work as a team.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55- That bond you have - is very, very special.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59- What sort of work - do you do with horses?
0:29:00 > 0:29:02- Bill is a full-time workhorse.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05- Bill drags out timber from forests.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08- He works with Kev, my partner.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13- We don't have a tractor here...
0:29:14 > 0:29:17- ..so we use horses on the land - as much as possible.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37- It's totally different from riding!
0:29:37 > 0:29:38- How do I hold the reins?
0:29:39 > 0:29:41- Between finger and thumb, Brychan.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44- You only need a light contact.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46- You can feel the horse.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48- Keep it really light.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50- Yes, and remember to use your voice.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53- Again, keep it light - with your voice.
0:29:53 > 0:29:57- Ask him rather than give him orders - and he'll do it.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00- Walk on. Walk on.
0:30:00 > 0:30:01- He's doing it.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03- He's doing it.- - Yes.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15- He's a powerhouse in front of you, - isn't he?
0:30:15 > 0:30:20- Never mind horsepower in cars - - this is the real thing.
0:30:23 > 0:30:24- Go left. Go left.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27- Go left. Walk on.
0:30:28 > 0:30:29- Go left.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33- When you sit on a horse, - you feel all his nerves.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35- Yes, you do.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40- I feel a bit too far from him - when I'm like this...
0:30:41 > 0:30:45- ..but, of course, all that comes - with the bond you build with him...
0:30:46 > 0:30:48- ..and the patience you show him.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51- Yes. When you work with him, - that bond does form.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55- The two of you - know what the other one wants.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57- Do you remember how to stop him?
0:30:57 > 0:30:58- Do you remember how to stop him?- - Oh, yes.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04- Whoa.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07- I really didn't use the reins.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10- No - the voice does it.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17- Kevin, why not a tractor?
0:31:18 > 0:31:22- On a smallholding, you see with - the slopes we've got up there...
0:31:22 > 0:31:26- ..even if it was wet, - the tractor would start slipping...
0:31:26 > 0:31:31- ..and we'd end up with ruts going - through the middle of the field.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33- The horse can get up there - and get down.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35- It's the cost of buying a tractor...
0:31:35 > 0:31:38- ..when you've already - got horses to work.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41- It makes sense - to use them around here as well.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44- Your work in the forest. - You enjoy it, obviously.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48- To work an animal and - get that bond you build with them...
0:31:49 > 0:31:51- ..during the work day, it's great.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55- Not all days are great - but you get magical days in-between.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57- It's a true partnership.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01- He works with me so well.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05- He's a really nice horse - to be around.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31- On a different day...
0:32:31 > 0:32:36- ..I joined Kevin and Bill - at Coed Craig Ruperra, near Newport.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40- Ruperra Conservation Trust, - which owns this land...
0:32:40 > 0:32:43- ..wants to minimize - damage to the woodland floor...
0:32:44 > 0:32:46- ..as the felled trees are cleared.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50- You can't bring machines up here.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55- The only machine which can work here - is one with four-hoof drive.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57- A horse.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00- It's steep, - it's slippery and it's dangerous.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07- Kevin is taking - a three-year apprenticeship...
0:33:07 > 0:33:10- ..run by the British Horse Loggers - Charitable Trust.
0:33:11 > 0:33:16- As part of that apprenticeship, - he receives help and training.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20- His mentor today - is Kate Mobbs-Morgan.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27- It's really boggy here.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30- It's hard to stand.
0:33:30 > 0:33:31- I wish I had four legs.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35- These boys are keeping it going - and working well.
0:33:36 > 0:33:37- Walk on.
0:33:38 > 0:33:39- Walk on.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45- We're going up - to fetch another piece of timber.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49- If I can stay upright!
0:33:50 > 0:33:52- Walk on.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07- We're dragging - a pretty big piece of timber...
0:34:07 > 0:34:09- ..down the hill.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12- When you work behind a horse, - like this...
0:34:12 > 0:34:15- ..especially - on such a muddy slope...
0:34:17 > 0:34:21- ..you've got to be careful - about what you're dragging.
0:34:28 > 0:34:29- You see?
0:34:32 > 0:34:34- It isn't a small piece of wood.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36- Whoa!
0:34:46 > 0:34:47- This isn't easy work.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56- It's becoming increasingly common...
0:34:56 > 0:34:59- ..for horses - to be used to do this work.
0:34:59 > 0:35:03- Horses can reach places - which are inaccessible to machines.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07- Also, horses - cause less damage to the ground...
0:35:08 > 0:35:12- ..and they're generally - better for the environment.
0:35:26 > 0:35:30- There's a strong, emotional bond - between horses and humans.
0:35:31 > 0:35:32- Yes.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36- It's difficult to put it into words.
0:35:36 > 0:35:40- You can work - with such a big, powerful animal...
0:35:41 > 0:35:44- ..and yet, the two of you - are as one.
0:35:46 > 0:35:47- It's very special.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50- It slows everything down, - doesn't it?
0:35:50 > 0:35:55- It seems to me the people of today - rush here and rush there...
0:35:55 > 0:35:59- ..but working with these horses - outside, in the fresh air...
0:36:00 > 0:36:02- ..means you slow the pace - right down.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04- We take things slowly.

0:37:00 > 0:37:05- Officer Sian Smith is an experienced - member of the mounted team.
0:37:06 > 0:37:10- She trains horses - and takes them out on patrol...
0:37:10 > 0:37:15- ..and she'll look after me when - I join a training session later.
0:37:17 > 0:37:21- Sian, how long have you been - a member of the mounted team?
0:37:21 > 0:37:25- I joined the police 17 years ago and - the mounted section ten years ago.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29- Why did you want to work - for the mounted section?
0:37:30 > 0:37:33- I've always - been interested in horses.
0:37:33 > 0:37:38- I liked the idea of taking on - different roles in one department.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49- This is Reuben and I've been - helping to get him ready.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52- Hopefully, in about five minutes...
0:37:52 > 0:37:57- ..I'll have a chance to receive - some training whilst I ride Reuben.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01- I haven't been on a horse for - a while, so we'll see how it goes.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05- There's work to be done first, - so I'll keep brushing.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13- The saddle goes on next.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15- First, the numnah.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20- Do you use - any specialist equipment...
0:38:20 > 0:38:23- ..or do you just use - a saddle and a bridle?
0:38:25 > 0:38:27- We wear bags - on the side of the saddle.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29- What do you keep in them?
0:38:29 > 0:38:31- What do you keep in them?- - Documents and police tickets.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34- We have a baton on the other side.
0:38:34 > 0:38:35- Right.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39- The horse also wears a breastplate.
0:38:39 > 0:38:40- Shall I put it on now?
0:38:40 > 0:38:41- Shall I put it on now?- - Yes.
0:38:45 > 0:38:50- Exercising horses and training - police officers is part of the job.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52- It's thought that mounted patrols...
0:38:53 > 0:38:56- ..are an effective - community policing tool.
0:38:56 > 0:39:01- It seems people are less reluctant - to talk to the police...
0:39:01 > 0:39:03- ..when they're on horseback.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07- That's what makes it so effective.
0:39:07 > 0:39:12- Seeing mounted officers also deters - people from committing crime.
0:39:17 > 0:39:22- The time has come for me to receive - some training on Reuben's back.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28- I really hope - my horse is used to these balls.
0:39:30 > 0:39:31- I don't want to end up...
0:39:32 > 0:39:34- ..on the ground.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38- How do you prepare horses - for the work?
0:39:38 > 0:39:42- First of all, we prepare them - at our riding school...
0:39:42 > 0:39:45- ..and get them - used to flags being waved...
0:39:45 > 0:39:47- ..and lots of noise.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51- It must take a special horse - to do this.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55- Not every horse - is suited to this job.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59- No, and it takes anything - from six months to two years...
0:39:59 > 0:40:01- ..to train a police horse...
0:40:01 > 0:40:04- ..and not every horse succeeds.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15- We must walk through the balls.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17- Well done, David.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20- So far so good, Reuben.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24- We'll speed up.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30- The horses often work - in noisy, hostile situations.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33- It's important to train regularly.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36- I really, really enjoyed that.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39- I haven't on a horse for years, - I must admit...
0:40:39 > 0:40:42- ..but Reuben looked after me.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46- I had a chance to see - the training the police do here...
0:40:46 > 0:40:49- ..but I'll be stiff in the morning.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59- Mark Evans is a carriage master.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03- If you want to go out in style, - he's the man to call.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07- Assisted by - his faithful Friesian stallions...
0:41:08 > 0:41:11- ..he organizes horse-drawn funerals.
0:41:13 > 0:41:18- This serious, respectable job - demands some detailed preparation.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22- In most funerals we do, - there's no link to horses.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24- It's just an image.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28- But it's important to me if - the people do understand horses...
0:41:28 > 0:41:31- ..they know I understand them too.
0:41:33 > 0:41:38- I went to his stable near Llangadog - to help Mark and chat to him.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41- In a situation like a funeral...
0:41:41 > 0:41:46- ..what impact does - the horses' presence have on people?
0:41:47 > 0:41:49- Seeing their effect on people...
0:41:50 > 0:41:54- ..is one of the things - which makes this job enjoyable.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57- For example, - we did a funeral in Rhyl...
0:41:58 > 0:42:00- ..in a church which was on a corner.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03- We came to the junction...
0:42:03 > 0:42:07- ..and, as we turned, - I could see the mourners.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09- Everyone was subdued and quiet...
0:42:10 > 0:42:13- ..as you are when - you're about to attend a funeral.
0:42:13 > 0:42:18- People were stood in small groups - whispering to each other.
0:42:18 > 0:42:23- As soon as they saw the horses, - they started to chat and point.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26- It brought life to it straightaway.
0:42:26 > 0:42:30- If the coffin arrives by car, - nobody goes up to look at the car.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33- People want to see the horses.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37- I remember - two sisters burying their mother.
0:42:37 > 0:42:38- I can see them now.
0:42:39 > 0:42:43- I was looking down at them - as they went up to the horses...
0:42:44 > 0:42:47- ..with tears - streaming down their faces.
0:42:47 > 0:42:51- But they smiled - and started talking to the horses.
0:42:51 > 0:42:55- I've no idea what they said, - but my horses just stood there...
0:42:55 > 0:43:00- ..as they poured their hearts out to - them and smiled through their tears.
0:43:05 > 0:43:10- On the day I was with Mark, - he had a funeral the next morning.
0:43:10 > 0:43:15- He follows a detailed daily routine - and he likes to be thorough.
0:43:17 > 0:43:22- The horses know the drill - and they seem very happy.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27- They're big, strong creatures.
0:43:27 > 0:43:31- If they didn't want to work with us, - they'd give us a whack...
0:43:32 > 0:43:35- ..but the fact is - they want to work with man.
0:43:36 > 0:43:37- Yes.
0:43:38 > 0:43:41- Man has handled horses - down the centuries...
0:43:41 > 0:43:44- ..because horses - are willing learners.
0:43:45 > 0:43:47- This horse wants to work.
0:43:48 > 0:43:50- He enjoys being washed like this.
0:43:51 > 0:43:55- I'm certain he'd much rather - be in here being pampered...
0:43:55 > 0:43:59- ..than be in a field, - exposed to the cold and the rain...
0:43:59 > 0:44:02- ..living just for the sake - of living.
0:44:02 > 0:44:03- Eating just to exist.
0:44:04 > 0:44:09- Something about a horse is totally - different from every other creature.
0:44:09 > 0:44:12- I can't imagine my life - without a horse.
0:44:16 > 0:44:20- Mark, we've been hard at it - for an hour and a half.
0:44:21 > 0:44:24- Yes, it takes - an hour and a half per horse.
0:44:24 > 0:44:29- That means three hours per pair - or six hours for all four horses.
0:44:29 > 0:44:31- The way they look is very important.
0:44:32 > 0:44:34- The work we do - is all about image.
0:44:34 > 0:44:38- If they just wanted to transport - a coffin to a cemetery...
0:44:38 > 0:44:40- ..they'd take a car.
0:44:40 > 0:44:43- People who choose - a horse-drawn funeral...
0:44:44 > 0:44:47- ..have an image - of how it should look.
0:44:48 > 0:44:51- It's important - that we deliver that image.
0:44:55 > 0:44:59- Mark prepares carefully - and thoroughly for every funeral.
0:44:59 > 0:45:02- The horses are washed - and their mane is plaited.
0:45:03 > 0:45:08- The aim of plaiting and unplaiting - is to give the mane a shape.
0:45:08 > 0:45:11- On the day, - the horses wear black blankets...
0:45:11 > 0:45:15- ..and their heads - are adorned with black feathers.
0:45:19 > 0:45:22- Both horses - are ready for the morning.
0:45:24 > 0:45:27- They're shining like a new penny.
0:45:36 > 0:45:40- Mark, this is beautiful - but I'd rather go on it than in it.
0:45:40 > 0:45:42- How old is it?
0:45:42 > 0:45:44- It was built in 1914...
0:45:44 > 0:45:46- ..so it's just over 100 years old.
0:45:49 > 0:45:51- We acquired it around 11 years ago.
0:45:52 > 0:45:56- Seeing this must have - a strong effect on people.
0:45:56 > 0:45:59- When people see it, - they react in one of two ways.
0:45:59 > 0:46:02- Some people see it - and have to turn away.
0:46:02 > 0:46:05- They find it eerie and morbid.
0:46:06 > 0:46:09- Other people see it - and they point and stare.
0:46:10 > 0:46:12- Those are the two reactions.
0:46:13 > 0:46:15- What do we have inside here?
0:46:15 > 0:46:18- Inside, it has a mahogany deck...
0:46:19 > 0:46:22- ..and pegs - to hold everything in position.
0:46:22 > 0:46:26- I'll show you what we do - when we need to clean it.
0:46:26 > 0:46:28- We enter through this hatch.
0:46:34 > 0:46:35- It's caught on something.
0:46:36 > 0:46:40- It's really handy when we want to - go inside and clean it all out.
0:46:45 > 0:46:50- My father passed away in March - and he had a horse-drawn funeral.
0:46:50 > 0:46:54- He always joked and said - I had to keep my horses fit...
0:46:54 > 0:46:56- ..and get them polished for him.
0:46:56 > 0:46:58- It was bound to happen one day.
0:46:59 > 0:47:00- He was 90 years old.
0:47:00 > 0:47:02- That day did come...
0:47:02 > 0:47:05- ..and it was an honour - to take care of his funeral.
0:47:06 > 0:47:08- That day was a bit different for me.
0:47:16 > 0:47:19- It's a complicated question...
0:47:19 > 0:47:24- ..but can you describe - your relationship with your horses?
0:47:24 > 0:47:26- The answer's complicated too.
0:47:27 > 0:47:29- There's something about horses.
0:47:30 > 0:47:34- I can go in there any time - with my horses and talk to them.
0:47:35 > 0:47:38- I rub their noses - and they're so soft.
0:47:40 > 0:47:42- My horses give me heart every day.
0:47:44 > 0:47:45- Come on.
0:47:45 > 0:47:47- Good boy. Come on.
