0:30:06 > 0:30:09- It's an exciting, equine feast.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37- The Fayre Oaks Pony Sale - was established in the 1950s.

0:30:42 > 0:30:46- The Royal Welsh Showground - is the sale's home these days.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50- People flock here from - around the world to do two things.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52- Buy and sell ponies.
0:31:13 > 0:31:18- The Jones family lives here, - on Coed Y Rhygen farm, Trawsfynydd.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22- Dei and Shan - and their daughters, Dora and Eleri.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27- Arian's bloodline - is strong and successful.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31- The sire, Lacy Buzbee and - the mother, Bryndansi Muffin...
0:31:31 > 0:31:32- ..were both champions.
0:31:33 > 0:31:38- Her sisters, who include Asbri, - Dora and Ania were very successful.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42- The sire, Lacy Buzbee, was sold - at the High-Flyer in 2009...
0:31:42 > 0:31:45- ..for the amazing price of 9,200.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51- The difference between the - High-Flyer and the day auction...
0:31:51 > 0:31:57- ..is the horses are handpicked - by the auctioneers, Brightwells.
0:32:04 > 0:32:05- This is Islyn Arian.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08- You've put a lot of work - into preparing her.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10- She looks lovely.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12- Thank you, David.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15- Just washing her - involved a lot of work.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19- She's never been shown, - so we worked hard to polish her up.
0:32:25 > 0:32:26- She's in foal.
0:32:26 > 0:32:27- She's in foal.- - Yes. I scanned her.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31- She's carrying - a foal sired by Lacy Brigadier...
0:32:31 > 0:32:34- ..who's a well-known stallion.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37- Will that be - an additional selling point?
0:32:37 > 0:32:41- Yes, I think so, - plus it shows she breeds regularly.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43- She's genuine in that sense.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47- Arian is special to you, Eleri.
0:32:47 > 0:32:48- Yes.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52- When I qualified as a vet - ten years ago...
0:32:54 > 0:32:59- ..my parents gave me a pick - of their mares and I chose this one.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03- She was my present from them - for qualifying as a vet.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07- She has a real - sentimental value to me.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14- The more I think about it, - the less I want to sell her...
0:33:14 > 0:33:15- ..for many reasons.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20- She's going to auction, so you have - no control over who buys her.
0:33:22 > 0:33:27- What are your thoughts on the type - of home you'd prefer her to go to?
0:33:27 > 0:33:30- Obviously, - when you take a pony to auction...
0:33:30 > 0:33:33- ..you can't choose its new home.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37- But I'd like her to go to - people who are serious breeders...
0:33:37 > 0:33:41- ..so that she continues to be - a brood mare.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45- I hope she's covered - by a good stallion...
0:33:45 > 0:33:49- ..and produces good foals - for her new owners.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52- I'd also like her to be shown.
0:33:53 > 0:33:57- She wasn't shown by us, - although she should have been.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00- It would be interesting - to see her being shown.
0:34:03 > 0:34:08- I hope they're kind people who are - worthy owners of this lovely mare.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12- People pay a lot of money - for horses at this sale...
0:34:14 > 0:34:18- ..so we can rest assured she'll - receive good care in her new home.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21- I'll keep an eye on her progress.
0:34:30 > 0:34:35- We'll see Islyn Arian at the - High-Flyer with David a bit later.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39- In the meantime, the Fayre Oaks Sale - is very busy.
0:34:44 > 0:34:48- The first of the three horses - we're following to be sold...
0:34:49 > 0:34:50- ..is Maesgwyn Highmark.
0:34:51 > 0:34:56- I visited Llwynhywel Stud, Llanilar, - before the sale to meet the family.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02- This family business - specializes in cobs...
0:35:03 > 0:35:05- ..but they keep - some Section A horses too.

0:35:12 > 0:35:15- Sian will sell the stallion, - Maesgwyn Highmark.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21- Highmark was a champion - at the Royal Welsh...
0:35:21 > 0:35:25- ..with his former owner, - Lewis Edwards, Maesgwyn.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28- His mother, Maesgwyn Highball...
0:35:28 > 0:35:31- ..was a Royal Welsh - and Winter Fair champion.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37- Describe his character.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39- Describe his character.- - He's gentle.
0:35:39 > 0:35:43- He can be out with mares and foals - and he won't do them any harm.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45- He's really good.

0:40:45 > 0:40:46- You can't have it all.
0:40:49 > 0:40:50- Horses cost money to keep.

0:41:26 > 0:41:29- I remember my father always said...
0:41:29 > 0:41:34- ..a horse should have eyes - which you could cut off with an axe.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40- They should stick out so much, - you could cut them off.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44- It's important - that a pony has good eyes.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47- How does it feel to let a pony go?
0:41:47 > 0:41:51- It's not a nice situation - to be in...

0:42:00 > 0:42:02- It's very important.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07- It's easy to collect them - but hard to let them go.

0:42:11 > 0:42:16- You feed them morning and night, you - brush them and you get to know them.
0:42:17 > 0:42:23- My father always said once they've - gone around the corner, forget them.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26- That's the way it's got to be.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33- How are the nerves now?
0:42:33 > 0:42:34- How are the nerves now?- - Not good.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36- I hate this time.
0:42:36 > 0:42:40- I used to play rugby and this - feels like just before kick-off.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43- The nerves jangled - and I needed the loo.
