-Supachai comes from Thailand.

0:00:300:00:32

-He's a dentist...

0:00:320:00:33

-..and he came to Wales

-to study dentistry back in 2009.

0:00:340:00:37

-He now lives in Newport.

0:00:380:00:39

-He's fluent in Welsh but

-he rarely has a chance to speak it.

0:00:400:00:45

-He can hardly imagine living his

-life through the medium of Welsh.

0:00:450:00:49

-He's about to have a taste

-of speaking Welsh at home...

0:00:500:00:54

-..at work and in the community...

0:00:540:00:57

-..as he spends two days in a village

-in the Llyn Peninsula, North Wales.

0:00:570:01:02

-This is Aberdaron.

0:01:040:01:05

-I started to learn Welsh in 2011.

0:01:210:01:24

-Five years ago.

0:01:240:01:26

-I found it easier

-to learn Welsh than English.

0:01:280:01:31

-There aren't enough opportunities

-for me to use my Welsh in Newport.

0:01:320:01:37

-I'd like to develop my oral skills.

0:01:390:01:43

-I find the North Wales accent

-a little bit difficult...

0:01:450:01:49

-..because I live in South Wales.

0:01:490:01:51

-I hope I can understand everything.

0:01:520:01:55

-If people speak slowly,

-it won't be a problem.

0:01:560:01:59

-I'm really excited.

0:02:010:02:02

-I'm looking forward

-to meeting the family...

0:02:030:02:07

-..and to meeting new people.

0:02:070:02:10

-The Jones family

-live on Bryn Gwynt farm...

0:02:180:02:22

-..and they run Becws Islyn bakery

-in Aberdaron.

0:02:230:02:26

-I'm Geraint

-and this is Gillian, my wife.

0:02:260:02:29

-We live in Bryn Gwynt,

-Anelog, Aberdaron.

0:02:290:02:33

-Our son is a farmer

-and Fflur is a student.

0:02:330:02:36

-I started farming when I was young.

0:02:360:02:39

-I didn't go to college.

-I didn't fancy it.

0:02:390:02:42

-I wanted to work straightaway,

-so I started farming.

0:02:420:02:46

-We bought the bakery

-three years ago last November.

0:02:460:02:50

-We had no experience of baking.

0:02:500:02:53

-We just bought it,

-having given it very little thought.

0:02:540:02:58

-We went for it

-and things have gone quite well.

0:03:000:03:03

-We bake bread and cakes every day

-and we do a few deliveries.

0:03:050:03:09

-I get up at 6.30 to go down with Mam

-to bake cakes and help pack them.

0:03:100:03:15

-We're lucky because we see more

-and more visitors in the village.

0:03:180:03:24

-Tourists who come here like to hear

-Welsh being spoken in the bakery.

0:03:240:03:29

-I think people return here

-because the village is so Welsh.

0:03:290:03:33

-I've thought a lot about welcoming

-this Welsh speaker from Thailand.

0:03:360:03:41

-What sort of Welsh accent

-will he have?

0:03:440:03:46

-I can't wait to meet him.

0:03:470:03:48

-Hello. How are you?

0:03:500:03:51

-I'm Supachai.

0:03:510:03:53

-I'm Geraint.

0:03:530:03:54

-I'm Geraint.

-

-Hiya. I'm Gillian.

0:03:540:03:56

-How are you?

0:03:560:03:58

-Gwion. Hello.

0:03:580:03:59

-Welcome to Bryn Gwynt.

0:04:010:04:03

-Welcome to Bryn Gwynt.

-

-Thank you for the welcome.

0:04:030:04:05

-because we don't speak English.

0:04:060:04:11

-Gwion doesn't speak English.

0:04:110:04:14

-Gwion doesn't speak English.

-

-No. Not at all.

0:04:140:04:15

-I hope you enjoy your time here.

0:04:160:04:18

-I'll take you out

-to have a look around.

0:04:190:04:21

-We'll go to the bakery tomorrow

-to bake some bread.

0:04:220:04:26

-I look forward to baking bread.

0:04:260:04:29

-I have some experience of baking.

0:04:290:04:31

-I made some bread but I burnt it.

0:04:320:04:35

-We don't want that!

0:04:370:04:38

-To be honest, I'm really nervous

-but I'm very excited too.

0:04:420:04:46

-This is a really nice family.

0:04:460:04:48

-They're really welcoming.

0:04:490:04:53

-They speak Welsh with

-a really different accent from me...

0:04:540:04:59

-..and this is a great chance for me

-to learn something different.

0:05:000:05:04

-To learn real Welsh.

0:05:040:05:06

-Supachai helps Geraint

-deliver goods from the bakery.

0:05:080:05:12

-Take those to Ty Newydd

-and that's Y Gegin Fawr's order.

0:05:120:05:17

-Y Gegin Fawr?

0:05:170:05:19

-Y Gegin Fawr?

-

-It's a cafe.

0:05:190:05:20

-Ty Newydd?

0:05:200:05:22

-Ty Newydd?

-

-It's a hotel.

0:05:220:05:23

-Are you enjoying it?

-

0:06:020:06:05

0:06:530:06:56

-No, not every day.

0:06:560:06:58

-We make deliveries every other day.

0:06:580:07:01

0:07:060:07:09

0:07:090:07:12

-It's easy to get on with him.

0:07:120:07:14

0:08:250:08:29

-Ta-ta!

-

-Thank you.

0:10:360:10:38

-Did he talk to people?

0:10:380:10:40

-Yes. He can chat away to people

-he doesn't know and that's great.

0:10:400:10:45

-He did a lot more than just

-talk about the weather with people.

0:10:450:10:49

-He was really great,

-fair play to him.

0:10:500:10:53

-He's gone out with Gwion to go

-around the sheep and the cattle.

0:10:540:10:58

-It should be fun!

0:11:000:11:01

-These are the cows

-I mentioned earlier.

0:11:020:11:05

-These are the mothers

-of the orange ones.

0:11:080:11:11

-Do you see the orange calves there?

0:11:110:11:14

-We keep those until they're big

-and kill them when they're older.

0:11:140:11:18

-How do you...?

0:11:190:11:20

-How do you...?

-

-Move them?

0:11:200:11:22

-Yes - how do you move them?

0:11:220:11:24

-Do you move them every day?

0:11:240:11:26

-Do you move them every day?

-

-Yes. They graze here during the day.

0:11:260:11:28

-May I try to move them?

0:11:280:11:30

-Yes - we'll move them

-to the other field together.

0:11:310:11:34

-Do you have cows in Thailand?

0:11:350:11:37

-Do you have cows in Thailand?

-

-Yes.

0:11:370:11:39

-Being a farmer isn't easy.

0:11:480:11:51

-It isn't easy at all.

0:11:520:11:53

-I think the cows are very angry

-at the moment.

0:11:560:11:59

-I wasn't very good at helping!

0:12:010:12:03

-I now know

-I need to get more exercise.

0:12:070:12:10

-You've got to be fit

-if you want to be a farmer.

0:12:120:12:15

-I feel

-farmers deserve a lot of respect.

0:12:160:12:19

-There are a lot of jobs to do here.

0:12:210:12:23

-It's really really hard work.

0:12:250:12:27

-Is there anything else I can do?

0:12:270:12:30

-Yes - herd the sheep.

0:12:310:12:33

-Good idea.

0:12:330:12:35

-What's the plan?

0:12:370:12:39

-What's the plan?

-

-Get those sheep into that pen.

0:12:390:12:41

0:12:580:13:01

-That was a new experience for me.

0:13:040:13:06

-I had no idea that herding sheep

-was such hard work.

0:13:070:13:12

-I had to make noises and move around

-to try to move them.

0:13:140:13:18

-He knows some long words.

0:13:230:13:25

-It's not easy

-for Thai people to learn Welsh.

0:13:250:13:28

-He seems to enjoy being here.

0:13:280:13:30

-Let's be friends.

0:13:300:13:32

-He looks happy.

0:13:330:13:34

-Are you happy with life here?

0:13:350:13:38

0:16:330:16:36

-Nigel is making bread

-the lazy man's way.

0:16:360:16:40

-Ah! The lazy man's way.

0:16:410:16:42

-The machine does everything.

0:16:430:16:45

-The machine does everything.

-

-Yes.

0:16:450:16:46

-Turn it, like that.

0:16:510:16:53

-Press down firmly

-to get the air out of the dough.

0:16:550:16:58

-If you knead it too gently...

0:16:590:17:01

-..you'll have a huge loaf

-with a hole in the middle.

0:17:010:17:05

-It looks easy

-but it isn't easy at all.

0:17:060:17:08

-We make granary bread on other days.

0:17:100:17:12

-Now, you go like this.

0:17:130:17:14

-Sometimes, if we want a nice,

-unusual loaf, we go like this.

0:17:150:17:19

-This is how you make

-a hedgehog - draenog in Welsh.

0:17:220:17:25

-Like this.

0:17:260:17:28

-We charge 1.60

-for a square tin loaf.

0:17:330:17:36

-1.60? Yes.

0:17:380:17:40

-I charge 1.80 for that loaf,

-so it's 20p more.

0:17:400:17:44

-It's not a lot of money.

0:17:450:17:47

-No. We're very poor.

0:17:470:17:48

-You're a qualified baker.

0:17:580:18:00

-How do you know the bread is ready?

0:18:010:18:04

-Make sure it's hard?

0:18:110:18:12

-If it sounds hollow, it's ready.

0:18:150:18:18

-Supachai's bread is very tasty.

0:18:180:18:21

-It's time

-to sell the bread now, Supachai.

0:18:210:18:24

-What should I do when I sell

-bread or cakes to customers?

0:18:250:18:30

-When someone comes in,

-say hello and welcome them.

0:18:340:18:37

-I'm Supachai and I'm learning Welsh.

0:18:370:18:40

-How can I help you?

0:18:400:18:43

-What would you like today?

0:18:430:18:47

-What would you like today?

-

-What would you like?

0:18:470:18:48

-Yes.

0:18:490:18:50

-Is everything here free?

0:18:530:18:55

-Is everything here free?

-

-No.

0:18:550:18:56

-Good morning.

-Welcome to Becws Islyn.

0:18:560:19:00

-Can I help you?

0:19:010:19:02

-One medium brown loaf, please.

0:19:030:19:05

-One brown loaf.

0:19:060:19:07

-Here's your change.

0:19:090:19:10

-Thank you very much. See you again.

0:19:110:19:13

-Thank you. Ta-ta!

0:19:140:19:15

-A small, white loaf. Thank you.

0:19:160:19:18

-A small, white loaf.

0:19:200:19:21

-Do you enjoy learning Welsh?

0:19:230:19:25

-Just a little.

-I'm only just learning Welsh.

0:19:260:19:30

-Just starting to learn.

0:19:310:19:32

-Ydych chi'n mwynhau dysgu Cymraeg?

-Do you enjoy learning Welsh?

0:19:320:19:37

-Here it is.

0:19:370:19:39

-Thank you very much.

0:19:390:19:40

-Thank you very much.

-

-See you again.

0:19:400:19:41

-Good morning.

0:19:420:19:43

-What would you like today?

0:19:440:19:46

-Do you sell sausage rolls?

0:19:460:19:48

-Yes. One or two?

0:19:490:19:51

-Yes. One or two?

-

-Two, please.

0:19:510:19:52

-I'm Supachai and I'm learning Welsh.

0:19:530:19:56

-This is my first day here.

0:19:570:19:58

-Oh, very good. Are you enjoying it?

0:19:590:20:01

-Oh, very good. Are you enjoying it?

-

-Yes. I'm really enjoying it.

0:20:010:20:03

-Here you go. Thank you very much.

0:20:030:20:05

-Here you go. Thank you very much.

-

-Thank you.

0:20:050:20:07

-See you again.

0:20:070:20:08

-See you again.

-

-Thank you. Very good.

0:20:080:20:10

-How's it going?

0:20:110:20:12

-How's it going?

-

-Everything's going well.

0:20:120:20:14

-I'm very excited.

0:20:140:20:16

-The shelves have emptied

-quite a bit.

0:20:180:20:20

-To thank you all, I'd like to

-cook a Thai meal for you tonight.

0:20:210:20:26

-What sort of food will you cook?

0:20:280:20:30

-I'll prepare jasmine rice

-with a spicy pork salad.

0:20:330:20:38

-Let's get cooking in Bryn Gwynt.

0:20:400:20:42

-Will you help me?

0:20:430:20:44

-Will you help me?

-

-Yes, of course. Where do we start?

0:20:440:20:47

-We start by preparing the pork

-because it takes time to cook.

0:20:490:20:54

-Yes. OK.

0:20:540:20:56

-What's the Welsh word for skin?

0:20:560:20:59

-What's the Welsh word for skin?

-

-Croen.

0:20:590:21:00

-We don't need the skin.

0:21:030:21:04

-We've finished slicing the pork.

0:21:060:21:09

-We'll now prepare a marinade.

0:21:100:21:13

-OK.

0:21:150:21:16

-It contains a secret ingredient.

0:21:170:21:20

-It contains a secret ingredient.

-

-It won't be a secret after tonight!

0:21:200:21:23

-This is the crushed, raw spice.

0:21:260:21:28

-It comes from Thailand.

0:21:300:21:32

-Finished.

0:21:330:21:35

-This goes in the oven.

0:21:360:21:37

-What's oven in Welsh?

0:21:380:21:39

-What's oven in Welsh?

-

-Popty.

0:21:390:21:41

-Will we cook

-all three packets of rice?

0:21:440:21:48

-It depends.

0:21:480:21:49

-How much does your family eat?

0:21:560:21:59

-We're fairly big eaters but I think

-two packets of rice is plenty.

0:21:590:22:04

-Yes. I think two packets

-is more than enough.

0:22:040:22:08

-What is lid in Welsh?

0:22:080:22:11

-What is lid in Welsh?

-

-Caead.

0:22:110:22:12

-Caead? Thank you.

0:22:120:22:14

-It's on number six.

-Is that alright?

0:22:150:22:17

-I've learnt a lot of Welsh words

-in the kitchen.

0:22:180:22:21

-Can I ask you a question?

0:22:250:22:26

-What sort of food

-do Welsh people usually eat?

0:22:270:22:31

-I've been wondering what I'd cook

-for you if I were making supper.

0:22:330:22:38

-I think I'd cook lamb.

0:22:380:22:40

-Lobscouse is a popular dish,

-especially in the winter.

0:22:400:22:44

-I think the next thing I'm going

-to suggest is a Llyn Peninsula dish.

0:22:480:22:53

-It contains buttermilk.

0:22:530:22:55

-It doesn't sound very nice

-but it really is quite nice.

0:22:550:23:00

-You start by frying bacon.

0:23:010:23:04

-Add an onion.

0:23:050:23:07

-Boil potatoes, then mash them.

0:23:070:23:09

-Put the mash,

-bacon and onion in a bowl...

0:23:090:23:12

-..and add buttermilk.

0:23:120:23:14

-Next, we'll cut up the meat.

0:23:170:23:19

-We want some small pieces.

0:23:200:23:22

-In Thailand,

-we cut them into tiny pieces.

0:23:250:23:29

-Are these too big?

0:23:300:23:31

-There's no need to worry about that.

0:23:310:23:34

-He's telling me off!

0:23:350:23:37

-The next step

-is to put everything in this bowl.

0:23:390:23:42

-What's bowl in Welsh?

0:23:420:23:44

-What's bowl in Welsh?

-

-Powlen.

0:23:440:23:45

-We put everything in this bowl

-and mix it all together.

0:23:460:23:50

-What's mix in Welsh?

0:23:500:23:51

-What's mix in Welsh?

-

-Cymysgu.

0:23:510:23:53

-Mix it all, then we've finished.

0:23:540:23:56

-The family has come to the table

-and everyone's hungry.

0:23:570:24:01

-This is jasmine rice

-with spicy pork salad. Enjoy.

0:24:020:24:06

-Thank you. I can't wait to taste it.

0:24:070:24:09

-Cheers!

0:24:090:24:11

-We've had

-two interesting days with him.

0:24:150:24:18

-It was a new experience for us too.

0:24:200:24:22

-I like the lad.

-He has a brilliant personality.

0:24:220:24:26

-You've cooked the meat nicely.

0:24:280:24:30

-He's welcome

-to come back here any time.

0:24:310:24:35

-I'm not overly keen on pork

-but this is lovely.

0:24:360:24:40

-I thought you only had mint with

-lamb but it goes well with pork too.

0:24:410:24:45

-I feel really sad

-to be leaving the Jones family.

0:24:460:24:50

-They were nice to me.

0:24:530:24:54

-They're really nice people.

0:24:540:24:56

-They taught me a lot of things.

0:24:570:24:59

-Thank you very much to each one

-of you for this great opportunity...

0:25:050:25:10

-..to learn more

-about the Welsh language...

0:25:110:25:15

-..and about life in the countryside,

-on the farm and in the kitchen.

0:25:150:25:21

-Thank you very much for the supper

-and for your company.

0:25:240:25:28

-Yes, and thank you

-for all your help.

0:25:290:25:32

-You're welcome

-to come to Thailand one day.

0:25:340:25:37

-Thank you. We may do that.

0:25:400:25:41

-Thank you. We may do that.

-

-I'll drink to that.

0:25:410:25:43

-I hope we meet in Thailand one day.

0:25:430:25:45

-In this series, we look at

-the world of horses in Wales.

0:25:540:25:59

-From hooves to cobs,

-from racing to shows.

0:26:010:26:05

-We feature the unique world

-of ponies and owners.

0:26:050:26:09

-We're used to seeing horses race,

-jump and do dressage.

0:26:110:26:15

-We can forget that horses work too,

-as they've done for centuries.

0:26:150:26:20

-They're big, strong and capable.

0:26:200:26:22

-In this programme...

0:26:230:26:24

-..we see them at work

-in three different situations.

0:26:240:26:28

-Welcome to Ceffylau Cymru.

0:26:280:26:30

-I, Brychan Llyr,

-and the champion, David Oliver...

0:26:530:26:57

-..will lead you through

-an exciting equine adventure.

0:26:570:27:01

-David is well-known for his success

-at The Royal Welsh...

0:27:060:27:11

-..winning the 2014 Cuddy

-Supreme In-hand Championship.

0:27:120:27:16

-Horses play a huge part

-in Brychan's life.

0:27:210:27:25

-He enjoys racing in the saddle but

-we'll take it steady in this series.

0:27:250:27:30

-The horses don't stand still

-in this programme.

0:27:360:27:39

-They pull, protect

-and help us on our final journey.

0:27:390:27:43

-David trains

-with South Wales Police horses...

0:27:450:27:48

-..and I tread carefully

-with carriage master, Mark Evans.

0:27:490:27:54

-Our journey begins

-in the Nantlle Valley...

0:27:540:27:57

-..with a workhorse called Bill.

0:27:570:28:00

-Kevin Taylor and Gaynor Lewis...

0:28:180:28:21

-..live in the idyllic Hafod Las.

0:28:210:28:24

-They have a close bond

-with their horses, especially Bill.

0:28:240:28:28

-Gaynor, this is the 21st century

-and we have big tractors.

0:28:310:28:35

-What place does the workhorse have

-in this world?

0:28:350:28:39

-Personally, I feel that

-the workhorse is magical.

0:28:400:28:44

-The two of you work as a team.

0:28:470:28:50

-That bond you have

-is very, very special.

0:28:510:28:55

-What sort of work

-do you do with horses?

0:28:560:28:59

-Bill is a full-time workhorse.

0:29:000:29:02

-Bill drags out timber from forests.

0:29:020:29:05

-He works with Kev, my partner.

0:29:050:29:08

-We don't have a tractor here...

0:29:110:29:13

-..so we use horses on the land

-as much as possible.

0:29:140:29:17

-It's totally different from riding!

0:29:340:29:37

-How do I hold the reins?

0:29:370:29:38

-Between finger and thumb, Brychan.

0:29:390:29:41

-You only need a light contact.

0:29:410:29:44

-You can feel the horse.

0:29:440:29:46

-Keep it really light.

0:29:460:29:48

-Yes, and remember to use your voice.

0:29:480:29:50

-Again, keep it light

-with your voice.

0:29:510:29:53

-Ask him rather than give him orders

-and he'll do it.

0:29:530:29:57

-Walk on. Walk on.

0:29:580:30:00

-He's doing it.

0:30:000:30:01

-He's doing it.

-

-Yes.

0:30:010:30:03

-He's a powerhouse in front of you,

-isn't he?

0:30:120:30:15

-Never mind horsepower in cars -

-this is the real thing.

0:30:150:30:20

-Go left. Go left.

0:30:230:30:24

-Go left. Walk on.

0:30:250:30:27

-Go left.

0:30:280:30:29

-When you sit on a horse,

-you feel all his nerves.

0:30:300:30:33

-Yes, you do.

0:30:330:30:35

-I feel a bit too far from him

-when I'm like this...

0:30:370:30:40

-..but, of course, all that comes

-with the bond you build with him...

0:30:410:30:45

-..and the patience you show him.

0:30:460:30:48

-Yes. When you work with him,

-that bond does form.

0:30:480:30:51

-The two of you

-know what the other one wants.

0:30:520:30:55

-Do you remember how to stop him?

0:30:550:30:57

-Do you remember how to stop him?

-

-Oh, yes.

0:30:570:30:58

-Whoa.

0:31:020:31:04

-I really didn't use the reins.

0:31:050:31:07

-No - the voice does it.

0:31:070:31:10

-Kevin, why not a tractor?

0:31:150:31:17

-On a smallholding, you see with

-the slopes we've got up there...

0:31:180:31:22

-..even if it was wet,

-the tractor would start slipping...

0:31:220:31:26

-..and we'd end up with ruts going

-through the middle of the field.

0:31:260:31:31

-The horse can get up there

-and get down.

0:31:310:31:33

-It's the cost of buying a tractor...

0:31:330:31:35

-..when you've already

-got horses to work.

0:31:350:31:38

-It makes sense

-to use them around here as well.

0:31:380:31:41

-Your work in the forest.

-You enjoy it, obviously.

0:31:410:31:44

-To work an animal and

-get that bond you build with them...

0:31:450:31:48

-..during the work day, it's great.

0:31:490:31:51

-Not all days are great

-but you get magical days in-between.

0:31:510:31:55

-It's a true partnership.

0:31:550:31:57

-He works with me so well.

0:31:590:32:01

-He's a really nice horse

-to be around.

0:32:020:32:05

-On a different day...

0:32:290:32:31

-..I joined Kevin and Bill

-at Coed Craig Ruperra, near Newport.

0:32:310:32:36

-Ruperra Conservation Trust,

-which owns this land...

0:32:360:32:40

-..wants to minimize

-damage to the woodland floor...

0:32:400:32:43

-..as the felled trees are cleared.

0:32:440:32:46

-You can't bring machines up here.

0:32:480:32:50

-The only machine which can work here

-is one with four-hoof drive.

0:32:510:32:55

-A horse.

0:32:550:32:57

-It's steep,

-it's slippery and it's dangerous.

0:32:570:33:00

-Kevin is taking

-a three-year apprenticeship...

0:33:030:33:07

-..run by the British Horse Loggers

-Charitable Trust.

0:33:070:33:10

-As part of that apprenticeship,

-he receives help and training.

0:33:110:33:16

-His mentor today

-is Kate Mobbs-Morgan.

0:33:170:33:20

-It's really boggy here.

0:33:250:33:27

-It's hard to stand.

0:33:280:33:30

-I wish I had four legs.

0:33:300:33:31

-These boys are keeping it going

-and working well.

0:33:320:33:35

-Walk on.

0:33:360:33:37

-Walk on.

0:33:380:33:39

-We're going up

-to fetch another piece of timber.

0:33:410:33:45

-If I can stay upright!

0:33:460:33:49

-Walk on.

0:33:500:33:52

-We're dragging

-a pretty big piece of timber...

0:34:040:34:07

-..down the hill.

0:34:070:34:09

-When you work behind a horse,

-like this...

0:34:090:34:12

-..especially

-on such a muddy slope...

0:34:120:34:15

-..you've got to be careful

-about what you're dragging.

0:34:170:34:21

-You see?

0:34:280:34:29

-It isn't a small piece of wood.

0:34:320:34:34

-Whoa!

0:34:340:34:36

-This isn't easy work.

0:34:460:34:47

-It's becoming increasingly common...

0:34:530:34:56

-..for horses

-to be used to do this work.

0:34:560:34:59

-Horses can reach places

-which are inaccessible to machines.

0:34:590:35:03

-Also, horses

-cause less damage to the ground...

0:35:040:35:07

-..and they're generally

-better for the environment.

0:35:080:35:12

-There's a strong, emotional bond

-between horses and humans.

0:35:260:35:30

-Yes.

0:35:310:35:32

-It's difficult to put it into words.

0:35:330:35:36

-You can work

-with such a big, powerful animal...

0:35:360:35:40

-..and yet, the two of you

-are as one.

0:35:410:35:44

-It's very special.

0:35:460:35:47

-It slows everything down,

-doesn't it?

0:35:480:35:50

-It seems to me the people of today

-rush here and rush there...

0:35:500:35:55

-..but working with these horses

-outside, in the fresh air...

0:35:550:35:59

-..means you slow the pace

-right down.

0:36:000:36:02

-We take things slowly.

-South Wales Police's Mounted Section

-is based here, in Bridgend.

0:36:230:36:27

-Several horses are kept here

-and you may have seen some of them.

0:36:280:36:32

-These are the horses

-used to patrol Cardiff's streets...

0:36:320:36:36

-..during football and rugby matches.

0:36:370:36:39

-South Wales Police is the only Welsh

-force to have a mounted section.

0:36:550:37:00

-Officer Sian Smith is an experienced

-member of the mounted team.

0:37:000:37:05

-She trains horses

-and takes them out on patrol...

0:37:060:37:10

-..and she'll look after me when

-I join a training session later.

0:37:100:37:15

-Sian, how long have you been

-a member of the mounted team?

0:37:170:37:21

-I joined the police 17 years ago and

-the mounted section ten years ago.

0:37:210:37:25

-Why did you want to work

-for the mounted section?

0:37:260:37:29

-I've always

-been interested in horses.

0:37:300:37:33

-I liked the idea of taking on

-different roles in one department.

0:37:330:37:38

-This is Reuben and I've been

-helping to get him ready.

0:37:450:37:49

-Hopefully, in about five minutes...

0:37:490:37:52

-..I'll have a chance to receive

-some training whilst I ride Reuben.

0:37:520:37:57

-I haven't been on a horse for

-a while, so we'll see how it goes.

0:37:570:38:01

-There's work to be done first,

-so I'll keep brushing.

0:38:010:38:05

-The saddle goes on next.

0:38:110:38:13

-First, the numnah.

0:38:130:38:15

-Do you use

-any specialist equipment...

0:38:170:38:20

-..or do you just use

-a saddle and a bridle?

0:38:200:38:23

-We wear bags

-on the side of the saddle.

0:38:250:38:27

-What do you keep in them?

0:38:270:38:29

-What do you keep in them?

-

-Documents and police tickets.

0:38:290:38:31

-We have a baton on the other side.

0:38:310:38:34

-Right.

0:38:340:38:35

-The horse also wears a breastplate.

0:38:360:38:39

-Shall I put it on now?

0:38:390:38:40

-Shall I put it on now?

-

-Yes.

0:38:400:38:41

-Exercising horses and training

-police officers is part of the job.

0:38:450:38:50

-It's thought that mounted patrols...

0:38:500:38:52

-..are an effective

-community policing tool.

0:38:530:38:56

-It seems people are less reluctant

-to talk to the police...

0:38:560:39:01

-..when they're on horseback.

0:39:010:39:03

-That's what makes it so effective.

0:39:040:39:07

-Seeing mounted officers also deters

-people from committing crime.

0:39:070:39:12

-The time has come for me to receive

-some training on Reuben's back.

0:39:170:39:22

-I really hope

-my horse is used to these balls.

0:39:240:39:28

-I don't want to end up...

0:39:300:39:31

-..on the ground.

0:39:320:39:34

-How do you prepare horses

-for the work?

0:39:350:39:38

-First of all, we prepare them

-at our riding school...

0:39:380:39:42

-..and get them

-used to flags being waved...

0:39:420:39:45

-..and lots of noise.

0:39:450:39:47

-It must take a special horse

-to do this.

0:39:480:39:51

-Not every horse

-is suited to this job.

0:39:520:39:55

-No, and it takes anything

-from six months to two years...

0:39:550:39:59

-..to train a police horse...

0:39:590:40:01

-..and not every horse succeeds.

0:40:010:40:04

-We must walk through the balls.

0:40:130:40:15

-Well done, David.

0:40:150:40:17

-So far so good, Reuben.

0:40:180:40:20

-We'll speed up.

0:40:220:40:24

-The horses often work

-in noisy, hostile situations.

0:40:260:40:30

-It's important to train regularly.

0:40:310:40:33

-I really, really enjoyed that.

0:40:340:40:36

-I haven't on a horse for years,

-I must admit...

0:40:360:40:39

-..but Reuben looked after me.

0:40:390:40:42

-I had a chance to see

-the training the police do here...

0:40:420:40:46

-..but I'll be stiff in the morning.

0:40:460:40:49

-Mark Evans is a carriage master.

0:40:570:40:59

-If you want to go out in style,

-he's the man to call.

0:41:000:41:03

-Assisted by

-his faithful Friesian stallions...

0:41:040:41:07

-..he organizes horse-drawn funerals.

0:41:080:41:11

-This serious, respectable job

-demands some detailed preparation.

0:41:130:41:18

-In most funerals we do,

-there's no link to horses.

0:41:190:41:22

-It's just an image.

0:41:220:41:24

-But it's important to me if

-the people do understand horses...

0:41:240:41:28

-..they know I understand them too.

0:41:280:41:31

-I went to his stable near Llangadog

-to help Mark and chat to him.

0:41:330:41:38

-In a situation like a funeral...

0:41:390:41:41

-..what impact does

-the horses' presence have on people?

0:41:410:41:46

-Seeing their effect on people...

0:41:470:41:49

-..is one of the things

-which makes this job enjoyable.

0:41:500:41:54

-For example,

-we did a funeral in Rhyl...

0:41:550:41:57

-..in a church which was on a corner.

0:41:580:42:00

-We came to the junction...

0:42:010:42:03

-..and, as we turned,

-I could see the mourners.

0:42:030:42:07

-Everyone was subdued and quiet...

0:42:070:42:09

-..as you are when

-you're about to attend a funeral.

0:42:100:42:13

-People were stood in small groups

-whispering to each other.

0:42:130:42:18

-As soon as they saw the horses,

-they started to chat and point.

0:42:180:42:23

-It brought life to it straightaway.

0:42:230:42:26

-If the coffin arrives by car,

-nobody goes up to look at the car.

0:42:260:42:30

-People want to see the horses.

0:42:310:42:33

-I remember

-two sisters burying their mother.

0:42:330:42:37

-I can see them now.

0:42:370:42:38

-I was looking down at them

-as they went up to the horses...

0:42:390:42:43

-..with tears

-streaming down their faces.

0:42:440:42:47

-But they smiled

-and started talking to the horses.

0:42:470:42:51

-I've no idea what they said,

-but my horses just stood there...

0:42:510:42:55

-..as they poured their hearts out to

-them and smiled through their tears.

0:42:550:43:00

-On the day I was with Mark,

-he had a funeral the next morning.

0:43:050:43:10

-He follows a detailed daily routine

-and he likes to be thorough.

0:43:100:43:15

-The horses know the drill

-and they seem very happy.

0:43:170:43:22

-They're big, strong creatures.

0:43:250:43:27

-If they didn't want to work with us,

-they'd give us a whack...

0:43:270:43:31

-..but the fact is

-they want to work with man.

0:43:320:43:35

-Yes.

0:43:360:43:37

-Man has handled horses

-down the centuries...

0:43:380:43:41

-..because horses

-are willing learners.

0:43:410:43:44

-This horse wants to work.

0:43:450:43:47

-He enjoys being washed like this.

0:43:480:43:50

-I'm certain he'd much rather

-be in here being pampered...

0:43:510:43:55

-..than be in a field,

-exposed to the cold and the rain...

0:43:550:43:59

-..living just for the sake

-of living.

0:43:590:44:02

-Eating just to exist.

0:44:020:44:03

-Something about a horse is totally

-different from every other creature.

0:44:040:44:09

-I can't imagine my life

-without a horse.

0:44:090:44:12

-Mark, we've been hard at it

-for an hour and a half.

0:44:160:44:20

-Yes, it takes

-an hour and a half per horse.

0:44:210:44:24

-That means three hours per pair

-or six hours for all four horses.

0:44:240:44:29

-The way they look is very important.

0:44:290:44:31

-The work we do

-is all about image.

0:44:320:44:34

-If they just wanted to transport

-a coffin to a cemetery...

0:44:340:44:38

-..they'd take a car.

0:44:380:44:40

-People who choose

-a horse-drawn funeral...

0:44:400:44:43

-..have an image

-of how it should look.

0:44:440:44:47

-It's important

-that we deliver that image.

0:44:480:44:51

-Mark prepares carefully

-and thoroughly for every funeral.

0:44:550:44:59

-The horses are washed

-and their mane is plaited.

0:44:590:45:02

-The aim of plaiting and unplaiting

-is to give the mane a shape.

0:45:030:45:08

-On the day,

-the horses wear black blankets...

0:45:080:45:11

-..and their heads

-are adorned with black feathers.

0:45:110:45:15

-Both horses

-are ready for the morning.

0:45:190:45:22

-They're shining like a new penny.

0:45:240:45:27

-Mark, this is beautiful

-but I'd rather go on it than in it.

0:45:360:45:40

-How old is it?

0:45:400:45:42

-It was built in 1914...

0:45:420:45:44

-..so it's just over 100 years old.

0:45:440:45:46

-We acquired it around 11 years ago.

0:45:490:45:51

-Seeing this must have

-a strong effect on people.

0:45:520:45:56

-When people see it,

-they react in one of two ways.

0:45:560:45:59

-Some people see it

-and have to turn away.

0:45:590:46:02

-They find it eerie and morbid.

0:46:020:46:05

-Other people see it

-and they point and stare.

0:46:060:46:09

-Those are the two reactions.

0:46:100:46:12

-What do we have inside here?

0:46:130:46:15

-Inside, it has a mahogany deck...

0:46:150:46:18

-..and pegs

-to hold everything in position.

0:46:190:46:22

-I'll show you what we do

-when we need to clean it.

0:46:220:46:26

-We enter through this hatch.

0:46:260:46:28

-It's caught on something.

0:46:340:46:35

-It's really handy when we want to

-go inside and clean it all out.

0:46:360:46:40

-My father passed away in March

-and he had a horse-drawn funeral.

0:46:450:46:50

-He always joked and said

-I had to keep my horses fit...

0:46:500:46:54

-..and get them polished for him.

0:46:540:46:56

-It was bound to happen one day.

0:46:560:46:58

-He was 90 years old.

0:46:590:47:00

-That day did come...

0:47:000:47:02

-..and it was an honour

-to take care of his funeral.

0:47:020:47:05

-That day was a bit different for me.

0:47:060:47:08

-It's a complicated question...

0:47:160:47:19

-..but can you describe

-your relationship with your horses?

0:47:190:47:24

-The answer's complicated too.

0:47:240:47:26

-There's something about horses.

0:47:270:47:29

-I can go in there any time

-with my horses and talk to them.

0:47:300:47:34

-I rub their noses

-and they're so soft.

0:47:350:47:38

-My horses give me heart every day.

0:47:400:47:42

-Come on.

0:47:440:47:45

-Good boy. Come on.
