-I've been learning Welsh

-for six years.

0:01:210:01:26

-I enjoy learning Welsh.

0:01:270:01:30

-It's a challenge.

0:01:310:01:32

-I don't work any more.

0:01:340:01:36

0:01:490:01:51

-..and I also help at a charity shop.

0:01:530:01:56

-I would really like to be

-in a Welsh-speaking situation.

0:01:590:02:04

-That would be the best way for me

-to practice speaking Welsh...

0:02:060:02:11

-..and to improve my Welsh.

0:02:120:02:14

-It would be a good experience for me

-to spend time with a Welsh family...

0:02:170:02:22

-..and be able to practice

-speaking the language.

0:02:220:02:26

-This is your last feed

-before I go away for two days.

0:02:280:02:32

-Someone else may feed you.

0:02:340:02:36

-Bye!

0:02:410:02:43

-I'm Ann-Marie Lewis.

0:02:480:02:49

-I live here, with my family,

-in Dyffryn Croes.

0:02:500:02:53

-Dyffryn Croes is between

-Pontarsais and Alltwalis...

0:02:540:02:57

-..ten minutes from Carmarthen.

0:02:570:02:59

-We worked in Patagonia for a year

-as Welsh Development Officers.

0:03:000:03:05

-We came home in February.

0:03:050:03:07

-We've lived in this house

-for six months...

0:03:070:03:10

-..and we've enjoyed being here.

0:03:100:03:13

-I'm Tito Lewis.

0:03:130:03:15

-I come from Patagonia originally but

-I've lived in Wales for 14 years.

0:03:150:03:21

-I'm Ann-Marie's husband.

0:03:230:03:25

-This is Ifan Macsen

-and he's eight years old.

0:03:250:03:28

-That's Miriam Elena Haf...

0:03:290:03:31

-..and she's just

-had her fifth birthday.

0:03:310:03:34

-Look at the camera, Miriam.

0:03:360:03:38

-It's wonderful to be able to help

-someone practice speaking Welsh.

0:03:420:03:47

-It really is great.

0:03:470:03:49

-As a Welsh learner myself,

-I know how important it is.

0:03:500:03:54

-We live

-in a Welsh-speaking community...

0:03:540:03:57

-..and we speak the language

-every day.

0:03:570:04:00

-Hello! Welcome.

0:04:090:04:10

-Thank you.

0:04:110:04:12

-Nice to meet you.

0:04:130:04:14

-I'm Ann-Marie.

0:04:140:04:15

-I'm Ann-Marie.

-

-I'm Esther.

0:04:150:04:17

-Thank you for welcoming me here.

0:04:170:04:20

-Hello. I'm Tito.

0:04:210:04:22

-Hello.

0:04:220:04:24

-Welcome to Dyffryn Croes.

0:04:240:04:26

-Welcome to Dyffryn Croes.

-

-Thank you.

0:04:260:04:27

-These are our children.

0:04:270:04:29

-These are our children.

-

-Hello.

0:04:290:04:30

-What's your name?

0:04:300:04:32

-Ifan.

0:04:330:04:34

-Ifan.

-

-Hello.

0:04:340:04:35

-What about you? What's your name?

0:04:360:04:38

-What about you? What's your name?

-

-Miriam.

0:04:380:04:40

-Those are two great names.

0:04:420:04:44

-I hope you enjoy your time here.

-We have a lot of things planned.

0:04:450:04:49

-Are you ready?

0:04:490:04:51

-Are you ready?

-

-Yes, I'm ready.

0:04:510:04:53

-What shall we do?

0:04:530:04:54

-The first thing on the list

-is a little bit of painting.

0:04:550:04:58

-Oh, very good.

0:04:590:05:00

-Oh, very good.

-

-Painting furniture.

0:05:000:05:01

-I've never done it before

-but I look forward to it.

0:05:020:05:05

-Ready?

0:05:060:05:07

-Yes, but I need to get changed.

0:05:070:05:10

-Yes, of course.

0:05:100:05:11

-Thank you.

0:05:110:05:13

-Tito and Ann-Marie are teachers...

0:05:140:05:17

-..but Ann-Marie is also

-keen on renovating furniture.

0:05:180:05:22

-Our aim today

-is to transform this item.

0:05:230:05:26

-I bought it very cheaply online...

0:05:290:05:32

-..but I don't like the colour.

0:05:320:05:34

-I have some light blue paint

-for this.

0:05:380:05:41

-I need your help.

0:05:420:05:44

-I'll try.

0:05:460:05:48

-Let's give this chest a makeover.

0:05:490:05:51

-This is special furniture paint.

0:05:520:05:56

-I'll also use a special brush.

0:05:580:06:01

-It makes a big difference.

0:06:020:06:04

-The brush is very important.

0:06:050:06:07

-Yes, so let's get started.

0:06:080:06:11

-I'll take these off the drawers.

0:06:150:06:18

-Will we change them?

0:06:180:06:20

-What's the Welsh word for knob?

0:06:200:06:24

-What's the Welsh word for knob?

-

-Bwlyn.

0:06:240:06:26

-Yes, we'll change them.

0:06:270:06:29

-We could paint these but

-I've got some nice ones over here...

0:06:290:06:34

-..so we'll change them.

0:06:350:06:36

-What do you think of that?

0:06:410:06:43

-Let's see if it passes the test.

0:06:430:06:46

-Oh, that's lovely.

0:06:460:06:47

-Are you happy?

0:06:490:06:50

-Are you happy?

-

-I'm happy, if you're happy.

0:06:500:06:52

-Esther is a lovely lady.

0:06:530:06:55

-It's great to see

-such commitment to the language.

0:06:550:06:59

-When you're as enthusiastic as

-Esther about the Welsh language...

0:07:000:07:04

-..it's good to have an intense

-period like this, with a family...

0:07:050:07:09

-..where you do normal things

-rather than formal tasks.

0:07:090:07:13

-It gives her a chance to practice

-her Welsh on an everyday level.

0:07:140:07:19

-After a spot of painting,

-it's lunchtime.

0:07:220:07:25

-You did a great job. You must

-come back and do some more painting.

0:07:270:07:32

-What would you eat for lunch

-in Indonesia?

0:07:370:07:41

-Rice, with vegetables...

0:07:440:07:46

-..and meat or fish.

0:07:470:07:49

-What sort of fish would you cook?

0:07:530:07:55

-The fish in Indonesia is different

-from the fish you have here.

0:07:560:08:01

-I can't give you the names

-in English.

0:08:010:08:03

-In Indonesian cooking, we fry food.

0:08:070:08:10

-Fried food is delicious...

0:08:130:08:15

-..but I think

-we should eat less fat.

0:08:160:08:21

-Yes.

0:08:240:08:25

-Next, it's time for some gardening

-and some chatting.

0:08:280:08:33

-Right then, Esther.

-These are the flowers.

0:08:360:08:39

-We want to pot them.

0:08:390:08:41

-You're learning Welsh, of course.

0:08:470:08:49

-Yes, I'm learning Welsh.

0:08:490:08:51

-I'm going to relearn French

-next year.

0:08:520:08:55

-I've got to be careful that I don't

-get the two languages mixed up.

0:08:590:09:05

-We'll see.

0:09:080:09:09

-Welsh is important to me because

-I live in Wales, not in France.

0:09:100:09:15

-Indonesian is my mother tongue.

0:09:170:09:20

-I'm Chinese, and when I was young,

-I went to a Chinese school.

0:09:240:09:29

-It was a Mandarin medium school.

0:09:340:09:36

-That's why I speak

-Mandarin and Indonesian fluently.

0:09:360:09:41

-I also learned English at school.

0:09:430:09:46

-In which language do you think?

0:09:470:09:49

-How does that look?

0:09:550:09:56

-To me, it looks perfect.

0:09:560:09:58

-To me, it looks perfect.

-

-Very good.

0:09:580:09:59

-Shall we water them?

0:10:050:10:07

-Shall we water them?

-

-Yes, let's water them.

0:10:070:10:09

-She's a lovely person.

0:10:150:10:16

-Fair play to her

-for learning the language.

0:10:170:10:20

-She has very few links with Welsh.

0:10:210:10:24

-Personally, I have family ties

-with the Welsh language...

0:10:240:10:28

-..so it was natural for me

-to learn the language...

0:10:300:10:34

-..when I was young.

0:10:340:10:36

-It's wonderful and she speaks

-very good Welsh, fair play to her.

0:10:370:10:41

-Back in the house, the children have

-heard that Esther is good at art.

0:10:480:10:53

-Did you see any penguins

-in Patagonia?

0:10:580:11:00

-Yes.

0:11:010:11:02

-Did you see lots of them?

0:11:020:11:04

-Miriam, did you see any penguins?

0:11:070:11:10

-Do you like penguins?

0:11:120:11:13

-Yes.

0:11:140:11:15

-What are you drawing?

0:11:190:11:21

-I'm trying to draw a whale.

0:11:210:11:23

-What do you think?

0:11:270:11:28

-A mess?

0:11:290:11:31

-Is that a whale?

0:11:370:11:39

-It's good.

0:11:390:11:41

-It's good.

-

-Thank you. You're very kind.

0:11:410:11:42

-Esther, would you like to

-come and try some mate?

0:11:460:11:49

-Thank you, but I don't understand.

0:11:500:11:52

-Can you say it again?

0:11:520:11:54

-Mate.

0:11:540:11:56

-Mate.

-

-What's mate?

0:11:560:11:57

-A traditional drink in Patagonia.

0:11:570:12:00

-Yes, I'd be delighted.

0:12:010:12:03

-Thank you.

0:12:030:12:05

-This is yerba.

0:12:090:12:11

-Yerba?

0:12:110:12:13

-Yerba?

-

-Yes.

0:12:130:12:14

-It smells like tea.

0:12:150:12:17

-It's some sort of green tea.

0:12:180:12:20

-In the same way we drink tea here...

0:12:200:12:23

-..they drink mate in Argentina.

0:12:230:12:26

-Whenever you visit someone...

0:12:280:12:30

-..they immediately offer you

-a tot of mate.

0:12:300:12:33

-Mate can be a bit bitter...

0:12:340:12:36

-..so we sweeten it with a little bit

-of sugar and a touch of honey.

0:12:380:12:42

-We use three-quarters of a cup

-of yerba.

0:12:430:12:47

-This straw is known as a bombija.

0:12:510:12:54

-You suck water through this straw.

0:12:570:13:00

-This goes in the bottom

-and it won't move.

0:13:020:13:05

-We then add a little bit of water.

-Not too much.

0:13:050:13:09

-It's a social drink.

0:13:160:13:17

-We pass it from person to person.

0:13:180:13:20

-How was it?

0:13:270:13:28

-Different!

0:13:300:13:31

-Mate is incredible.

0:13:340:13:35

-I'd never heard about it before.

0:13:360:13:39

-I'm learning new things,

-not just about the Welsh language...

0:13:420:13:47

-..but also

-about Argentine traditions.

0:13:490:13:53

-It's wonderful

-to learn something new every day.

-Welcome back

-to Dyffryn Croes, Alltwalis.

0:14:140:14:18

-The Lewis family

-is ready for another fun day.

0:14:180:14:22

-Good morning.

0:14:240:14:26

-Good morning.

-

-Good morning. Come in.

0:14:260:14:27

-How are you today?

0:14:280:14:29

-How are you today?

-

-Very well, thank you.

0:14:290:14:30

-You finished the chest of drawers.

0:14:310:14:34

-Wow! It's really pretty.

0:14:340:14:36

-It's changed a bit since yesterday!

0:14:360:14:39

-Here's a little something from me

-to thank you for your help.

0:14:390:14:44

-That's great.

0:14:450:14:47

-Thank you very much.

0:14:470:14:49

-Thank you very much.

-

-Thanks for your help yesterday.

0:14:490:14:51

-To loosen the limbs...

0:14:560:14:58

-..Tito will show Esther

-a traditional, Patagonian dance.

0:14:590:15:03

-You'll need to be

-a really good teacher to teach me...

0:15:320:15:36

-..because I'm hopeless.

0:15:360:15:39

-I'll teach you something easy.

0:15:410:15:43

-Very good. Try it with the hat now.

0:15:530:15:56

-I'll just enjoy myself!

0:15:590:16:01

-It's good exercise.

0:16:030:16:05

-With the music.

0:16:120:16:13

-You must follow the music.

0:16:130:16:15

-And turn.

0:16:230:16:25

-Very good.

0:16:410:16:42

-Thank you.

0:16:420:16:44

-I'm hungry after all that dancing.

0:16:470:16:49

-Let's have lunch.

0:16:500:16:51

-Good idea.

0:16:520:16:54

-I'll show you

-how to cook an Indonesian curry.

0:16:540:16:58

-Wow!

0:16:590:17:00

-A chicken curry.

0:17:010:17:02

-A chicken curry.

-

-I love curries.

0:17:020:17:05

-What do we have here?

0:17:090:17:10

-Curry, vegetables and rice.

0:17:110:17:13

-We'll start with the curry

-because it takes more time to cook.

0:17:170:17:21

-We'll use chicken, will we?

0:17:250:17:27

-We'll use chicken, will we?

-

-Yes.

0:17:270:17:28

-Galangal is one of the most

-important ingredients of the curry.

0:17:350:17:40

-What is it?

0:17:410:17:43

-There's no Welsh word for galangal.

0:17:430:17:46

-How does it smell?

0:17:460:17:47

-It smells slightly sweet.

0:17:490:17:51

-Is it similar to ginger?

0:17:540:17:56

-Yes. It's a root of a plant,

-like ginger.

0:17:570:18:00

-We'll also use some of these leaves.

0:18:020:18:05

-They're leaves

-from the lemon family.

0:18:060:18:09

-May I smell them?

0:18:110:18:13

-Yes, I'm getting that citrus smell.

0:18:150:18:18

-It's not the same as Thai bay leaves

-or Thai basil.

0:18:200:18:24

-These look similar

-but they smell different.

0:18:250:18:28

-We can now add the chicken.

0:18:310:18:34

-One other ingredient is turmeric.

0:18:400:18:44

-What does turmeric give you?

0:18:460:18:48

-Turmeric smells really special.

0:18:500:18:53

-Of course, in Indonesia,

-we use fresh turmeric.

0:18:560:18:59

-What's next?

0:19:030:19:05

-What's next?

-

-Lemon grass.

0:19:050:19:07

-I nearly forgot.

0:19:070:19:08

-Do you chop the lemon grass?

0:19:110:19:13

-No, I'll just slice it in half

-to release the flavour.

0:19:150:19:19

-That looks lovely. Wow!

0:19:250:19:27

-Things like this are never cooked

-in this kitchen, unfortunately.

0:19:300:19:34

-It's time to add the coconut milk.

0:19:350:19:38

-Three spoonfuls.

0:19:410:19:42

-It looks really tasty.

0:19:500:19:51

-The smell of lemon grass is great.

0:19:540:19:57

-I really like the sauce.

0:19:580:19:59

-It's incredible that one herb

-can add so much flavour.

0:20:000:20:04

-We never use it.

0:20:050:20:07

-It's too easy to open a jar

-and pour on a sauce.

0:20:070:20:10

-I'll never do that again.

0:20:120:20:13

-How often do you cook this dish?

0:20:150:20:18

-How often do you cook this dish?

-

-It depends.

0:20:180:20:19

-If we have guests, I cook a curry.

0:20:210:20:23

-I cook it on special occasions.

0:20:250:20:27

-You can come again.

0:20:300:20:31

-Thank you very much.

0:20:330:20:35

-You've made me think differently.

0:20:350:20:37

-I'm not

-particularly fond of cooking.

0:20:380:20:40

-Really?

0:20:420:20:44

-I don't know how to get food

-to taste the way it should.

0:20:440:20:48

-I don't know what to use

-to add flavour.

0:20:480:20:51

-Seeing what you added to this

-was great.

0:20:510:20:54

-Wow!

0:20:540:20:56

-We use a lot of spices

-in recipes like this...

0:20:560:21:00

-..mainly because

-they grow in the garden.

0:21:010:21:05

-I take it it's easy to grow them

-in gardens in Indonesia.

0:21:070:21:11

-This is really tasty.

0:21:120:21:13

-More rice, Miriam?

0:21:180:21:20

-More rice?

0:21:200:21:21

-Do you have

-any favourite Welsh dishes?

0:21:240:21:27

-Yes.

0:21:280:21:30

-I'm really fond of fish and chips

-and I love cawl too.

0:21:350:21:39

-I think we need to get some exercise

-after this lovely food.

0:21:480:21:52

-Let's go to the beach at Penbryn.

0:21:560:21:57

-Let's go to the beach at Penbryn.

-

-Yes!

0:21:570:21:59

-We can play football...

0:22:000:22:02

-..and cricket.

0:22:030:22:04

-Do you like

-football and cricket, Esther?

0:22:050:22:08

-I'll like them

-if Ifan teaches me how to play.

0:22:090:22:13

-Mm! Alright?

0:22:150:22:16

-Carry the bat!

0:22:360:22:37

-What are you building there, Miriam?

0:22:530:22:54

-What are you building there, Miriam?

-

-A sand castle.

0:22:540:22:56

-May I help you?

0:22:570:22:58

-Where do you want me to put this?

0:23:020:23:04

-Well, look!

0:23:070:23:08

-Yay!

0:23:140:23:15

-Yay!

-

-Are you happy?

0:23:150:23:17

-Have you enjoyed your time with us

-in this area?

0:23:210:23:24

-Yes, very much so.

0:23:240:23:26

-Thank you all very much...

0:23:260:23:28

-..for giving me this opportunity

-to practice speaking Welsh.

0:23:280:23:33

-It's changed me.

0:23:360:23:38

-We've really enjoyed your company.

0:23:390:23:42

-The standard of your Welsh

-is really good.

0:23:440:23:47

-Oh, thank you.

0:23:470:23:48

-We haven't used a word of English.

0:23:490:23:51

-We've spoken Welsh for two days.

0:23:520:23:54

-We've learned a lot from you,

-especially from that curry.

0:23:540:24:00

-I have a surprise for you two.

0:24:070:24:09

-Do you like surprises?

0:24:110:24:13

-What could it be?

0:24:180:24:20

-First, for Miriam.

0:24:210:24:23

-You can keep your rings in there.

0:24:280:24:31

-Let me see.

0:24:360:24:37

-This is for you.

-keep your money in it.

0:24:400:24:43

-Say thank you very much.

0:24:460:24:48

-Thank you very much.

0:24:480:24:50

-Thank you very much.

-

-You're welcome.

0:24:500:24:51

-It was great to have Esther here and

-I think she enjoyed our company too.

0:24:570:25:02

-Yes. We really enjoyed it.

0:25:030:25:04

-It's been

-quite a new experience for us too.

0:25:050:25:08

-We really enjoyed it...

0:25:080:25:10

-..and we learned

-a lot of things from her.

0:25:100:25:13

-She's very affable

-and a really nice person.

0:25:140:25:17

-We did everything

-through the medium of Welsh.

0:25:190:25:22

-I enjoyed this experience very much.

0:25:230:25:26

-It was a really special experience.

0:25:260:25:29

-I spoke Welsh for two days.

0:25:300:25:33

-It made me feel different.

0:25:340:25:37

-I thought in Welsh all day.

0:25:400:25:42

-Well done

-for learning Welsh so well.

-There are

-almost 2,900 farriers in the UK...

0:26:210:26:24

-..only around 50 of whom are women,

-including Cathryn Gardner.

0:26:250:26:29

-Originally from

-Ffald-y-Brenin farm, Llanwrda...

0:26:300:26:34

-..she's worked as a farrier

-for around five years.

0:26:340:26:38

-Are there links to horses

-in your family?

0:26:390:26:42

-Yes. Horses are in my blood.

0:26:420:26:44

-Mam and my brother ride.

0:26:440:26:46

-It goes back to my grandfather

-and great grandfather.

0:26:460:26:50

-My whole family ride horses.

0:26:500:26:52

-Your grandfather kept sheep,

-cattle and horses on the farm

0:26:530:26:58

-Did you help your grandfather

-on the farm in those days?

0:26:580:27:02

-Yes, when I was young we'd drive

-sheep from the mountain on ponies.

0:27:030:27:08

-How many of you did that?

0:27:080:27:09

-How many of you did that?

-

-Four or five.

0:27:090:27:11

-I'm sure you enjoyed it.

0:27:110:27:12

-Growing up, Cathryn spent a lot of

-time with her grandfather...

0:27:130:27:18

-..on his farm near Hirwaun.

0:27:180:27:20

-William Gwyn Davies

-was a champion ploughman.

0:27:230:27:26

-Horses were in his blood and ponies

-were a vital part of farm work.

0:27:270:27:31

-Cathryn always took a great interest

-in whatever we did on the farm...

0:27:320:27:38

-..in every season.

0:27:380:27:40

-She was always here for lambing,

-earmarking and shearing.

0:27:400:27:44

-She was interested and passionate.

0:27:460:27:49

-She had the eye to take in

-whatever we did with the stock.

0:27:500:27:54

-Some people see one animal

-and that's all they see.

0:27:560:27:59

-Others, like Cathryn, see one animal

-but they see beyond that.

0:27:590:28:04

-Something special.

0:28:040:28:06

-It takes someone...

0:28:080:28:09

-..with a natural affinity

-with animals...

0:28:090:28:13

-..to be able to see

-all these things.

0:28:140:28:17

-That's what I believe.

0:28:170:28:19

-Horses played a key part

-in Cathryn's childhood in Llanwrda.

0:28:230:28:28

-When she was a teenager...

0:28:280:28:30

-..she got a part-time job

-at Caeiago Horse Riding Centre.

0:28:300:28:34

-She returns there today

-as their farrier.

0:28:350:28:38

-What's your first job today?

0:28:410:28:42

-What's your first job today?

-

-To remove the old horseshoe.

0:28:420:28:45

-Talk me through the process.

0:28:480:28:50

-Talk me through the process.

-

-First, I remove the old horseshoe.

0:28:500:28:53

-Next, I clean the frog.

0:28:530:28:55

-The frog is this area here.

0:28:570:28:59

-Yes.

0:29:000:29:01

-Then I clean the hoof.

0:29:010:29:03

-I use a rasp to smooth the edges.

0:29:050:29:07

-Why do you do that?

0:29:070:29:09

-Why do you do that?

-

-To make sure the foot is level.

0:29:090:29:12

-It's physical work, isn't it?

0:29:150:29:17

-Do you need muscles

-and strength to do this job?

0:29:170:29:20

-A lot of people

-assume a farrier has to be strong...

0:29:200:29:24

-..but it's about skill

-and technique.

0:29:240:29:27

-Cathryn was inspired

-to be a farrier...

0:29:280:29:31

-..after a period of work experience

-with the blacksmith, Hilary Kaye.

0:29:310:29:36

-She did an apprenticeship with

-Kelvin Lymer from Sandpitt Forge...

0:29:370:29:42

-..who was a Team GB farrier

-at the Beijing Olympic Games.

0:29:420:29:46

-Cathryn spends part of her time

-working for him in Worcester.

0:29:460:29:51

-How did you go about

-getting an apprenticeship?

0:29:520:29:55

-I wrote to over 100 farriers

-across the country...

0:29:550:29:59

-..and only three replied.

0:29:590:30:01

-Only three out of 100?

0:30:030:30:04

-Yes, and Kelvin was one of them.

0:30:050:30:07

-I had a week-long trial

-with Kelvin...

0:30:070:30:10

-..and I started my apprenticeship

-the following week.

0:30:100:30:14

-How long was the apprenticeship?

0:30:150:30:17

-How long was the apprenticeship?

-

-Four years and two months.

0:30:170:30:19

-These are new horseshoes.

0:30:240:30:26

-Did you make these?

0:30:260:30:28

-Did you make these?

-

-No. I had to buy these.

0:30:280:30:30

-There are so many horses here,

-there's no time to make the shoes.

0:30:300:30:34

-Rather than the horse

-coming to the farrier...

0:30:380:30:41

-..the farrier must often

-go to the horse these days.

0:30:410:30:46

-Cathryn has customized a vehicle

-to suit her needs.

0:30:460:30:50

-It even has a forge, which looks

-like a red-hot microwave.

0:30:500:30:55

-That's hot!

0:30:560:30:57

-That's hot!

-

-Yes. Extremely hot.

0:30:570:30:59

-Have you ever

-suffered an injury at work?

0:30:590:31:02

-Yes, I've injured myself

-lots of times!

0:31:020:31:05

-I buy half the shoes I fit

-and I make the rest myself.

0:31:070:31:12

-You're shaping the shoe now.

0:31:170:31:18

-You're shaping the shoe now.

-

-Yes - to the shape of the hoof.

0:31:180:31:21

-You're checking to see if it's

-the right shape for the hoof.

0:31:290:31:33

-Yes, then I'll cut out

-a gap for the clip.

0:31:340:31:37

-The clip needs to sit here.

0:31:390:31:41

-Does this process hurt the horse?

0:31:480:31:50

-No, the horse feels nothing.

0:31:530:31:55

-It's important

-to get the right angle, isn't it?

0:32:050:32:09

-Yes. I follow the angle of the hoof.

0:32:090:32:11

-What happens

-if the angle isn't right?

0:32:120:32:14

-You'll see a lot of blood!

0:32:150:32:17

-We'll know in no uncertain terms!

0:32:170:32:19

-What are you doing with these nails?

0:32:270:32:29

-I'm bending them over.

0:32:290:32:31

-This is what we call a clench.

0:32:310:32:33

-The clench makes sure

-the shoe stays firmly in place.

0:32:330:32:37

-You've finished

-working on Serafina...

0:32:460:32:49

-..and there are

-three more horses to go.

0:32:490:32:52

-On to the next one.

0:32:530:32:54

-What does the equine world

-mean to you?

0:32:560:32:59

-It means a lot.

0:32:590:33:01

-I enjoy working with horses and with

-different people across the country.

0:33:010:33:06

-It's not a job.

0:33:100:33:11

-It's my passion.

0:33:110:33:13

-It's a way of life.

0:33:130:33:15

-Elgan Harris

-is an extremely hardworking farrier.

0:33:170:33:21

-He travels the country

-looking after hooves.

0:33:210:33:24

-He puts on demonstrations at shows

-and he competes too.

0:33:240:33:28

-He's also a member

-of the Wales Farrier Team.

0:33:280:33:32

-Elgan was trained by Jim Blurton,

-from Forden Farriers...

0:33:360:33:40

-..near Welshpool, Montgomeryshire.

0:33:410:33:44

-Our journey in his company begins

-at Min Y Llyn Uchaf farm, Forden.

0:33:440:33:49

-This is a whopper of a hoof, Elgan.

0:33:510:33:53

-Yes, it's pretty big.

0:33:530:33:55

-This is a shire horse called Daisy.

0:33:550:33:58

-Your wife is holding her head,

-so what's Daisy's story?

0:34:000:34:04

-Last week, she pulled up

-and she was stuck in a wire fence.

0:34:040:34:08

-As you can see,

-the wire is still stuck in the shoe.

0:34:080:34:12

-I need to reposition the front.

0:34:120:34:14

-I couldn't do it last week

-because it was too sore.

0:34:160:34:19

-You can see where the wire cut in.

0:34:240:34:26

-You can see where the wire cut in.

-

-Yes - I can see the indentation.

0:34:260:34:28

-It could have been nasty.

0:34:290:34:31

-This horse has had a narrow escape.

0:34:310:34:34

-It's a good hoof.

0:34:340:34:35

-It's a good hoof.

-

-Yes. I had to cut it here.

0:34:350:34:37

-The wire went straight through.

0:34:370:34:39

-It's a good, strong, solid hoof.

0:34:390:34:42

-Tell me about the rhythm you hit.

0:34:530:34:55

-I often see farriers go

-tap-tap-bang, tap-tap-bang!

0:34:550:34:59

-It's just something you pick up on.

0:34:590:35:02

-There's no reason for it?

0:35:020:35:04

-No. It's just for show.

0:35:050:35:07

-Nailing the shoe in place

-is a very important job.

0:35:120:35:16

-It's a vital part

-of the farrier's bread and butter.

0:35:160:35:20

-If the nails aren't right,

-that shoe will soon come loose...

0:35:200:35:24

-..and the farrier

-will have to come back out.

0:35:240:35:28

-How long a guarantee

-does a good farrier give?

0:35:280:35:31

-A couple of weeks.

0:35:310:35:32

-You can see

-where the wire entered the hoof.

0:35:350:35:38

-Yes, and that's why

-there are three nails there.

0:35:390:35:42

-There's a weakness there

-but she has a strong, thick hoof.

0:35:420:35:46

-It's only slightly damaged.

0:35:460:35:48

-It'll be fine.

0:35:500:35:51

-Daisy's been done.

0:35:550:35:56

-She's outside, grazing in the field

-and enjoying the sunshine.

0:35:570:36:01

-It isn't a bad life for a farrier.

0:36:020:36:04

-It isn't a bad life for a farrier.

-

-Not when the sun's out.

0:36:040:36:05

-It's been a tough winter,

-what with all the rain we've had.

0:36:060:36:10

-Where's the next job?

0:36:100:36:11

-Geuffordd.

0:36:120:36:13

-There's one horse there.

0:36:130:36:15

-It's around 20 minutes from here.

0:36:150:36:18

-Let's go!

0:36:180:36:19

-Do you enjoy the work?

0:36:290:36:31

-Do you enjoy the work?

-

-Yes, I definitely enjoy it.

0:36:310:36:33

-You couldn't do it

-if your didn't enjoy it.

0:36:330:36:36

-It's hard work...

0:36:360:36:37

-..but there's a lot

-of satisfaction in the work.

0:36:380:36:42

-I make the shoes

-and I see the finished product.

0:36:450:36:48

-It's my work, from start to finish.

0:37:070:37:09

-As we saw before the break...

0:37:110:37:13

-..I'm spending the day

-with the busy farrier, Elgan Harris.

0:37:130:37:17

-Where are we now?

0:37:190:37:20

-Skelwith Stud,

-just outside Llanfair Caereinion.

0:37:210:37:25

-I'm here to take a look at a cob.

0:37:250:37:27

-I need to assess him and, luckily,

-there's room to do that here.

0:37:280:37:32

-Let's take a look at him.

0:37:320:37:34

-You removed an ordinary shoe

-from its hind hoof...

0:37:510:37:54

-..but you're replacing it

-with something different.

0:37:550:37:58

-Yes. Take a look at the hoof.

0:37:590:38:01

-You need the two sides of the hoof

-to be a mirror image of each other.

0:38:020:38:06

-It's straight on this side

-and curved on the other.

0:38:070:38:10

-I want to create that shape

-on the other side.

0:38:100:38:13

-I'll fit him with a bar shoe...

0:38:140:38:16

-..to will help him across the heel

-and with added depth there.

0:38:160:38:21

-It will help him straighten up.

0:38:210:38:23

-Symmetry is important in a cob.

0:38:240:38:26

-Symmetry is important in a cob.

-

-Yes. Symmetry is everything.

0:38:260:38:28

-Symmetry - that's it, to be honest.

0:38:290:38:31

-I'll work on that.

0:38:310:38:33

-After a couple of sessions

-and about three months...

0:38:330:38:37

-..he'll go back to normal shoes,

-all being well.

0:38:370:38:40

-There's more to a farrier's life

-than a hammer and steel.

0:38:420:38:46

-Elgan often works with vets

-for the horses' benefit.

0:38:460:38:51

-Competitions and exhibitions...

0:38:550:38:57

-..are also

-an important part of his life.

0:38:580:39:01

-It's good for the art of farriery

-for people to see what you do.

0:39:020:39:06

-There's so much more to it

-than taking a shoe out of a box.

0:39:070:39:10

-This is a normal horseshoe

-and this is a bar shoe.

0:39:130:39:16

-The difference between them

-is obvious.

0:39:170:39:19

-The idea is to give added support

-by having a wider shoe.

0:39:200:39:24

-The aim of this is to help the foot

-adjust to be as it should be.

0:39:240:39:28

-A bar shoe offers additional support

-for the foot than a U-shaped shoe.

0:39:280:39:33

-The objective is to change

-the shape of the foot a little.

0:39:330:39:37

-Yes - I want to help the foot

-be as it should be.

0:39:380:39:41

-If I used a U-shaped shoe,

-the foot would improve, over time...

0:39:410:39:45

-..but this will speed it up.

0:39:460:39:48

-Did you make them?

0:39:480:39:50

-Yes, I made them.

0:39:500:39:51

-I'd measured up

-and, luckily, they fit.

0:39:520:39:56

-The edge of the shoe

-sticks out further than the hoof.

0:40:010:40:04

-That's where the foot should be.

0:40:050:40:07

-That's where the foot should be.

-

-The other foot is fine.

0:40:070:40:09

-Are you pleased with that?

0:40:180:40:20

-Are you pleased with that?

-

-Yes.

0:40:200:40:22

-I'll give it six weeks...

0:40:220:40:24

-..see how the rear shoe helps

-and take it from there.

0:40:240:40:28

-Cemaes Evans

-comes from Ceredigion...

0:40:330:40:37

-..and he did his apprenticeship

-in Talsarn.

0:40:370:40:40

-He now lives on Cathedine Fawr farm,

-near Llangorse Lake.

0:40:410:40:45

-He has a smithy on the farmyard.

0:40:460:40:48

-You often see him on stewarding duty

-at the Royal Welsh...

0:40:500:40:55

-..and he judges shoeing competitions

-at local shows.

0:40:560:40:59

-Can I have a look

-at your horse's foot?

0:41:020:41:05

-He has a nice, round foot.

0:41:060:41:08

-It's not too long.

0:41:080:41:10

-It looks nice.

0:41:100:41:11

-With the shire,

-I was looking for the bevel shoe.

0:41:120:41:16

-They say a mouse should be able to

-run around on a bevel shoe...

0:41:170:41:21

-..because it sticks out so much.

0:41:210:41:23

-South Wales Shire Horse Society Show

-Abergavenny

0:41:270:41:31

-I joined Cemaes in his smithy

-to learn how to make a horseshoe.

0:41:420:41:47

-Hold it and hit it in the middle.

0:41:500:41:53

-Hit it like you mean it!

0:41:540:41:56

-Lift this arm.

0:41:560:41:57

-Whoa! Steady.

0:42:020:42:04

-It's like Mr Bean

-trying to make a horseshoe!

0:42:040:42:07

-We need three holes on each side.

0:42:070:42:09

-Where should it go?

0:42:100:42:11

-About an inch and a quarter

-from there.

0:42:120:42:15

-Hit through it?

0:42:170:42:19

-Hit through it?

-

-Yes.

0:42:190:42:20

-Whoa! Not there.

0:42:210:42:22

-There.

0:42:240:42:25

-Should I keep going?

0:42:280:42:30

-We must heat it back up.

0:42:340:42:35

-It's gone cold, so I need more...

0:42:360:42:38

-More speed.

0:42:390:42:40

-More speed.

-

-More speed? Alright.

0:42:400:42:41

-This is a coal forge.

0:42:430:42:45

-You don't see many of these today.

0:42:460:42:49

-The age of coal is nearly over...

0:42:490:42:51

-..and so is the time

-where farriers make their own shoes.

0:42:510:42:55

-They buy them from factories.

0:42:560:42:58

-In more modern smithies,

-you see gas forges.

0:42:590:43:04

-Yes, that's right.

0:43:040:43:05

-I have to take the fumes

-and everything here.

0:43:060:43:09

-How long does it take to heat metal?

0:43:120:43:14

-Not long. Coal is faster than gas.

0:43:140:43:17

-If you don't keep an eye on it,

-the metal will burn.

0:43:180:43:22

-With gas, you can leave it

-in the forge all day.

0:43:220:43:25

-You can't do that with coal.

0:43:270:43:29

-Like this?

0:43:300:43:31

-Like this?

-

-No - the other way around.

0:43:310:43:33

-Have I gone through?

0:43:330:43:35

-Probably.

0:43:350:43:36

-It's stuck.

0:43:370:43:38

-It's stuck.

-

-Tap it.

0:43:380:43:39

-BLEEP

0:43:390:43:41

-What was that naughty word you said?

0:43:410:43:44

-Did it go through? No.

0:43:440:43:46

-I'm like Benny Hill!

0:43:490:43:50

-How long does it take you

-to make a set of shoes?

0:43:540:43:58

-About 45 minutes.

0:43:580:43:59

-Thinner shoes, which are ideal for

-a Section C pony, take 30 minutes.

0:44:000:44:05

-There are four irons

-in the fire at a time.

0:44:080:44:11

-Put it down, heel first.

0:44:120:44:13

-Do I hit it here?

0:44:130:44:15

-Hold it at an angle.

0:44:150:44:17

-Hit the end.

0:44:170:44:18

-Like this?

0:44:180:44:20

-Yes. Down you go.

0:44:210:44:22

-Hit it like you mean it.

0:44:220:44:24

-Not there - on the end.

0:44:240:44:26

-Is that enough?

0:44:310:44:32

-No. Carry on.

0:44:320:44:34

-That's it.

0:44:360:44:38

-You use all sorts of tools

-and this box is really interesting.

0:44:400:44:45

-Did you make it?

0:44:450:44:47

-No, it was made

-by John Thomas, Llwyn Bustach.

0:44:470:44:50

-It's an offcut

-of the coffin of an old lady.

0:44:500:44:54

-This box has a bit of history.

0:44:570:45:00

-No wonder

-he's known as John The Box.

0:45:000:45:02

-At an angle?

0:45:070:45:08

-Yes - hit it!

0:45:090:45:10

-Tap it out.

0:45:110:45:12

-What sort of apprenticeship

-did you have?

0:45:130:45:17

-It must take time to train.

0:45:170:45:19

-I was very lucky.

0:45:190:45:21

-I had an apprenticeship

-with Price of Talsarn.

0:45:210:45:24

-I learned to shoe,

-which was great.

0:45:250:45:27

-I also learned to weld, fabricate

-and do some ironwork.

0:45:280:45:32

-I learned all the blacksmith skills.

0:45:320:45:35

-What aspect of your work has given

-you most pleasure over the years?

0:45:360:45:41

-I've been fortunate enough to meet

-people from all over the country.

0:45:410:45:46

-My shoes have travelled

-as far away as South Africa.

0:45:460:45:50

-I supply a lot of shoes for the boys

-in London and Yorkshire.

0:45:500:45:55

-I've met a lot of people

-through my work.

0:45:560:45:58

-How long have you been a farrier?

0:45:590:46:01

-I started in 1972.

0:46:010:46:03

-You've got more brains than me

-to do the maths, David!

0:46:030:46:07

-You don't look old enough!

0:46:070:46:09

-You're meant to hit the shoe!

0:46:120:46:14

-That's what I'm trying to do.

0:46:140:46:16

-I promise!

0:46:170:46:18

-I'm getting the hang of this!

0:46:220:46:24

-Now then, David.

0:46:290:46:30

-Hit it!

0:46:320:46:33

-Whoa! You're all over the shop.

0:46:370:46:40

-Hit it there?

0:46:420:46:44

-Hit it there?

-

-Yes.

0:46:440:46:46

-Stroke it out.

0:46:460:46:48

-Should've gone to Specsavers!

0:46:530:46:55

-I'll heat it up for you again.

0:46:560:46:58

-David Oliver, the blacksmith!

0:46:580:47:00

-Not a chance!

0:47:010:47:02

-OK, David?

0:47:070:47:09

-Lovely, David.

0:47:090:47:11

-I'd like to say that I did

-all the work on this horseshoe...

0:47:130:47:17

-..but, unfortunately, a monkey

-could do a better job than me!

0:47:170:47:22

-This is the finished article.

0:47:220:47:24

-David Oliver's horseshoe!

0:47:240:47:26

-Thank you, Cemaes.

0:47:260:47:27

-Thank you, Cemaes.

-

-You're welcome.
