Pennod 2 Y 7 Magnifico a Matthew Rhys

-888

-One prairie. 7 Magnifico.

-They arrived four days ago with

-only a week to learn cowboy skills.

-Having taken it seriously...

-some of them anyway...

-..they're learning slowly.

-Amid the excitement,

-Matthew Rhys arrived.

-They've mastered the art

-of kissing, lassoing and riding.

-Let me introduce the 7 Magnifico.

-Actor Steffan Rhodri.

-Singer, actress and presenter

-Shan Cothi.

-Megan Taff -

-Wales's most famous trotting driver.

-Hywel Davies -

-former winner of the Grand National.

-Presenter Alex Jones.

-Crymych comedian Iwan John.

-Author and presenter Bethan Gwanas.

-Their challenge is to drive a herd

-of cattle across the prairie...

-..back to the Price Canyon Ranch

-ready for market.

-This is a huge challenge.

-I've got a blister.

-I never thought it would be

-such an eye-opener.

-It might be too much of a challenge.

-The Moore family will be trying

-to turn them into cowboys.

-Colter Moore -

-the head cowboy and ranch manager.

-Ken Moore, Colt's father. Arizona's

-dust courses through his veins.

-Jess Barry - Colt's brother-in-law.

-An expert cattle driver.

-Randy Barnhart.

-The family's Little Joe.

-Rodeo champion and expert lassoist.

-On the fifth day, the cowboys

-have collected the cattle.

-It's time for the next step.

-A crucial feature of every ranch

-is branding and castration.

-For the gang to appreciate

-this hard work...

-..Randy has prepared some calf's

-testicles, or Rocky Mountain oyster.

-They remind me of Christmas.

-While they cook, Colt explains

-how to catch and brand a calf...

-..in the traditional manner.

-Go all the way to their neck,

-grab the flank, pick them up...

-..throw them right down...

-..and then sit on their head.

-Who wants to try it first?

-I'll try it. Give it a go.

-Iwan's giving it a go.

-Well done, Iwan, fair play.

-Why did I say I'd do it first,

-I don't know.

-I'm going to try and lasso

-a small one.

-Good luck to me.

-While Iwan tries his hand

-at lassoing, what about the others?

-I'm taking the head.

-I'm taking the head.

-

-You take the legs.

-I can grab the legs.

-Iwan will have to catch

-a calf first.

-I'm not laughing.

-This is how I'd be.

-He has my sympathy.

-You said he was rubbish.

-This is the hardest part.

-Lassoing a calf.

-At least the cattle won't hate him.

-They like him.

-He's going to be here for hours.

-You're so cruel.

-I love this cowboy!

-The one who can't lasso.

-The one who can't lasso.

-

-He's lassoed his own horse!

-It looks so easy.

-I really want one now.

-I wanted to stay on.

-There's no time for everything.

-I'll get one.

-Randy saves the day

-before the calf turns into a bull.

-Straight down on your butt

-and put your legs this way.

-I see.

-Cross you legs, there we go.

-If they kick, they don't kick him.

-While Bethan and Steffan

-hold down the calf, Alex brands it.

-Yay!

-Hurry up, lunch is ready.

-Hurry up, lunch is ready.

-

-Are you hungry?

-No.

-If you're not really hungry,

-have a little snack.

-Bite into it.

-It's quite hot.

-This has just come from that bull.

-Do you feel sick?

-Has it been cooked properly?

-Should we cook it a little longer?

-No - it's ready.

-Have you eaten one before?

-Are they nice?

-Bite that piece?

-One, two, three.

-It's hot. Hot or disgusting?

-Hot? Disgusting? Hot and disgusting?

-Disgustingly hot?

-Steff now.

-Well done.

-Well done.

-

-It's still on her tongue.

-Swallow it. Swallow it.

-Now then.

-It tastes like a chicken drumstick.

-I'm sorry I took the mick.

-You're not so confident now.

-A real mouthful.

-Look at that blue bit.

-They're like sausages. They're OK.

-Look at that bulging!

-Bite it. Stick it in your mouth.

-To be honest, it's quite nice.

-What's wrong with you? This is nice.

-It tastes OK.

-It's just knowing what it is.

-Well done.

-After a bellyful of balls,

-Matthew gets on his horse.

-He lassoes one expertly -

-like a real cowboy.

-Matthew's success

-doesn't go down well with everyone.

-He did it. Fair play to him.

-Jammy... dodger.

-Matthew's got a lot of talent!

-You come here for three days and

-show us all up. What are you doing?

-Sorry, love.

-Sorry, love, it was in the contract.

-I got her, I got her.

-Always be ready to pull it back off.

-We round them up into a small pen

-at home.

-Here, they have a large pen

-to practise with the horses...

-..teach the young horses and

-help the cowboys keep their eye in.

-They need to practise

-or they get rusty.

-You'd never think

-something so small was so strong.

-I managed to hold him down.

-I'm rather pleased with myself.

-Slightly ambitious, Shan Cothi.

-I've created a bit of trouble.

-I've lassoed the largest animal

-in the pen.

-Longhorn.

-I was going for the calf,

-believe it or not.

-I had such a big loop,

-it caught the longhorn cleanly...

-..before reaching the calf.

-Yee-hah!

-This is a horse whisperer.

-His name's Lanny Leach.

-He's going to show us,

-with this wild mare...

-..never been touched before,

-how to do it.

-Who farted?

-Not me.

-Cothi.

-Shan Cothi!

-She's taught herself to sing

-from the other end!

-I'm going to start communicating

-as a horse would to another horse.

-Horses are excellent

-body and language readers.

-That's how they communicate.

-With every horse, there's one boss.

-One follows the other.

-With a wild horse,

-he has to show that he's boss.

-She has to follow him.

-That's very difficult.

-Lanny's come to understand horses

-by imitating their behaviour.

-He's had a lot of success

-taming wild horses.

-I'm going to move around here.

-He lassoed the horse

-right around her neck.

-Every time she does what he wants...

-..he lets the rope go

-and lets her do as she pleases.

-If she does something

-he doesn't want...

-..he tightens the rope

-and makes her uncomfortable.

-The mare has enough sense

-to do what he wants her to do.

-We're just trying to build

-a trust factor here...

-..by allowing me to get

-in her comfort zone here.

-I was sceptical thinking

-it was already a partly-tamed horse.

-I'm glad to see

-it is a really wild horse.

-I think it's handy

-for someone who's new to this.

-It helps you learn how to create

-a relationship with your horse.

-It scares me, too.

-He knows what a horse does

-before it bucks.

-He avoids eye contact

-with the horse...

-..in case he appears threatening.

-As Lanny approaches the horse,

-she could kick him in an instant.

-Take it on and off several times.

-A few hours ago, this mare was wild.

-She's now safe for Lanny to sit

-on her without fear of injury.

-He wants the mare to trust him.

-Patience is crucial.

-A lot of people want things

-to happen now.

-There's an important lesson here

-for us all. Patience is a virtue.

-The result is far better.

-APPLAUSE

-With the lesson over, Colt

-has gathered the eight together.

-He wants to assess

-their development.

-Everyone, we're going

-to talk today a little bit.

-Just, say, critique a little

-on some of this stuff.

-Shan, you've been doing a great job.

-You've been trying real hard.

-Good rope on the cattle anyway.

-High five.

-High five. Beth, the first two days

-you were here, you were quiet.

-Took you a while to come out

-of the closet.

-Now, you're doing a great job.

-You're getting along with everybody,

-you're talking to everybody.

-Iwan, you're doing a great job, too.

-You have a great sense of humour.

-You try hard.

-Everybody can try harder.

-Alex, you haven't ridden

-as much as everyone else...

-..but just try...

-..and... a little harder.

-Megan, on the barrel racing stuff,

-you ride better than most people...

-..but you're used

-to a certain type of riding.

-On the barrels,

-you were giving plenty of slack.

-H, you're a little

-too chargey sometimes.

-You and Megan are both competitive.

-I know that.

-Just try and ease it up,

-just down a notch.

-Your horse won't get so excited.

-He doesn't know me.

-I had to be gung-ho as a jockey.

-He's never seen horses

-jumping fences before.

-If he saw that, he'd understand me

-a little bit better.

-He said something about everyone.

-I was lucky because I was first.

-I felt for him

-having to do such a thing.

-There was a lot of truth

-in what he said, to be honest.

-I didn't expect that today. I was

-disappointed with what he said.

-He was pretty close to the mark.

-He said I was quite quiet -

-he didn't hear much from me.

-He's the first person

-who's ever said that.

-I don't know if he realizes how

-hard it is for me to be on a horse.

-Everything else is a challenge

-in itself.

-But, uh, yeah...

-I'll continue trying

-as hard as I can.

-Next, they compete in teams

-in three contests.

-Penning, barrel racing

-and lassoing.

-Who loses a fight with a calf?

-Find out after the break

-on 7 Magnifico.

-.

-888

-888

-

-888

-The eight have been split up

-into two teams.

-Bethan, Matthew, Alex and Megan.

-Iwan, Shan, Steffan and Hywel.

-The judges are happy.

-The first challenge is to

-separate and pen three calves.

-Off they go.

-Slowly does it.

-Slowly. One step at a time.

-Just the yellow one now.

-It's right at the back.

-It's right up against the fence.

-Let her go.

-Where's the other one?

-Where's the other one?

-

-The three are there now.

-Do you want some help with this one?

-Well done.

-Alex, can you come up here?

-Stop there, Alex. Brill.

-How! How!

-Right, back, back, back.

-Let him go.

-I'm disappointed.

-We got two into the pen.

-The third ran away.

-It's worse when you get that close.

-I would have preferred

-not getting anywhere near the pen.

-We only had one more to catch.

-Since one calf rejoined the group,

-the gang have failed their task.

-So close but yet so far

-for the first team.

-We did quite well.

-We did quite well.

-

-We were brilliant.

-The second team - are they able

-to control their calves?

-You go back.

-I'm trying to get

-the large red one out.

-Let her go. It's OK.

-Don't let her come back.

-Are you always like this?

-Are you always like this?

-

-Always competitive, even with cows.

-Hey, she's going back.

-Don't say a thing.

-Iwan's seen it, Iwan's seen it!

-Come on, come on. Come on!

-Come on.

-Come on, come on. Come on!

-With one calf returning to the herd,

-the second team has failed.

-One left the herd.

-Someone told us at the start

-that we shouldn't do that.

-They return to the pack.

-That's what happened.

-I didn't see her.

-She started creeping back

-and she went too far.

-One challenge has been completed.

-It's 0-0.

-Game on.

-It really is game on.

-Barrel racing is next.

-Have they improved since last time?

-Steffan is up first.

-I had a poor start.

-My time will get beaten.

-Especially by Taff,

-Davies and Cothi.

-27 seconds for Steff.

-Will Shan beat his time?

-It was better than the first time.

-I had a poor first barrel.

-They said give him plenty of slack.

-I had no direction.

-Then I got into a good rhythm.

-It was my fault.

-Come on, Shani!

-Shan sets a new time of 24 seconds.

-Can the former professional jockey

-beat the actress?

-Go on, Hywel.

-22.1 - that's better.

-Come on, baby.

-Iwan just wanted to beat

-his previous score.

-I've come down from 53 to 36.

-I'm chuffed.

-Whoo-hoo! Let's go.

-Next up, Megan Tex Taff.

-23 seconds.

-I've improved.

-My turns were better.

-Colt's advice worked.

-Colt is happy with his apprentices.

-Will Bethan disappoint him?

-I've built up my confidence.

-I could gallop and turn.

-Well, better than I could.

-More importantly, I beat Iwan John!

-She beat Iwan by two seconds.

-Alex could have done

-with some of Bethan's confidence.

-With Colt's critique still ringing

-in her ears and plenty of support...

-..off she goes.

-CHEERING

-Well, a time of 45 seconds.

-That's a lot better than last time,

-and without Shan Cothi's help!

-Not as good as everyone else

-but good enough for me.

-The last one to go, and one

-of the favourites, is Matthew Rhys.

-He has his sights set on

-first place.

-22 seconds is his target.

-24 seconds. I was chasing

-Hywel's time like a jockey.

-Two seconds. I was pleased

-with the way Alex coped.

-She was great. I'm very happy

-with the team effort.

-HE NEIGHS

-The judges add the times.

-Colt announces the results.

-Team 1, you guys won

-the team penning hands down.

-Team 2,

-you guys won the barrel racing.

-We-hey!

-We only have one more event,

-and that's all.

-OK, this is the last event

-for you guys.

-Team 1, you go first.

-Whoa!

-We're gonna show you

-with just the two of us.

-If four can't do it,

-you're pathetic!

-It's an advantage to go second.

-We can learn from them.

-By the time we do it,

-the calf will be tired.

-It'll be its third time.

-Unfortunately for Shan's team,

-they'll have different calves.

-When you get it down, hold right

-here real good or he'll kick you.

-Go.

-Yes, yes!

-A new competition

-for the Eisteddfod.

-Calf-dancing solo.

-Watch it doesn't come away.

-Whoa, whoa, whoa.

-Are you OK?

-Your nose is bleeding. You're

-missing a chunk from your nose.

-No, it's just a spot. A bit

-of concealer and you'll be fine.

-Bethan, did you hear that?

-They called it a fluke.

-No, no, no, I said

-it was a stroke of good luck...

-..that you caught it the first time.

-Leave it, leave it!

-Leave her alone!

-Ready, set, go!

-Dirty tactics from Matthew

-as the pressure mounts.

-Come on, Shan. You're meant

-to lasso the calf, not tire it out.

-Hold the tail,

-hold the tail, hold the tail!

-Oh, sshh.

-Matthew's still worried

-about his nose.

-The calf went down

-and my head was over it.

-Its head came back up.

-Then I fell under the calf.

-Megan went for an entirely

-different tactic.

-Fair play,

-it was a very original tactic.

-If I'd grabbed the head,

-it wouldn't have smacked Matthew.

-Good cowboys always have scars.

-You've passed now.

-Team 1,

-you guys won with a time of 50.84.

-We've got some Price Canyon Ranch

-T-shirts for you guys.

-Good job, guys.

-I'll buy one.

-And Team 2...

-..you each get a horseshoe.

-More practice,

-and we'll get more horseshoes.

-You can use them as underwire

-for your bra!

-After the break, the 7 Magnifico

-bid farewell to Matthew...

-..before their big adventure.

-And what makes Alex scream

-in the middle of the night?

-.

-888

-888

-

-888

-The sixth day.

-It's quiet on the ranch.

-Apart from Matthew in his pants.

-Steffan is feeding the horses.

-Feeding early in the morning.

-Seven o'clock and the sun is rising.

-It's lovely. I'm the only one here.

-Everyone else is packing. Today,

-they ride across the prairie...

-..to round up some cattle.

-They'll sleep rough before driving

-the cattle back to the ranch.

-We're loading the chuck wagon.

-We need some bedding

-because we're camping out tonight.

-It's something I love doing.

-The weather will much better

-here than it is in Wales, I hope.

-Unfortunately,

-I have to return home today.

-I knew I was only able

-to be here for three days.

-I'm so jealous that they're all

-riding off over the prairie...

-..and driving the cattle back

-tomorrow.

-With a heavy heart, I turn for home.

-The time has come. It's so solemn.

-I won't bite you.

-I won't bite you.

-

-Sorry about the nose.

-Good luck.

-Good luck.

-

-Ta-ra, Matthew,

-Ta-ra.

-Thank goodness!

-Unfortunately,

-Matthew has to return to Hollywood.

-In the meantime,

-there's work to be done.

-We've packed the wagon,

-and we're ready to go.

-I've realized that it's

-a bigger challenge than I thought.

-There are 160 cattle,

-and now that Matthew has left us...

-..he'd done this before,

-so he had experience.

-Without him, we have to use

-everything we've learnt...

-..to complete the task.

-As if things weren't hard enough,

-Alex needs a new horse.

-Maybe one to match her top.

-I could feel Ned limping.

-Colt had a look at him.

-He was limping.

-We've brought him back, and now I

-have to start over with a new horse.

-I'm really worried about it.

-Ned and I... Ta-ra, Ned.

-Ta-ra.

-We're good friends now.

-We built a relationship.

-That's all gone to waste now.

-I have to start all over again

-as we embark on our great adventure.

-Here we go -

-the 7 Magnifico leave the ranch...

-..with fear, hope

-and always a broad smile.

-Here's their chance to use

-their new skills and work as a team.

-Somewhere, on the vast landscape

-of Arizona...

-..they'll find some cattle

-to drive home.

-Somewhere, on the prairie,

-under the blistering sun...

-..there are seven brave cowboys

-looking for them.

-A calf!

-A calf's escaped through the fence.

-Bethan's there. It's alright.

-Are we good to go? OK.

-If we stay this side...

-..we'll be fine.

-Do we turn here?

-Do we? Hello.

-Do you turn there?

-Can we stop to see

-which way we're going?

-Having found some of the cattle...

-..they drive them

-to the overnight camp.

-Colt and the gang

-keep an eye on proceedings.

-Is Randy happy with what he's seen?

-It amazes me how much they did

-yesterday, and they did it well.

-And now, it seems like they've lost

-everything that they've gained.

-They're shooting themselves

-in the foot.

-Too many chiefs, not enough Indians,

-out there, to be blunt about it.

-Harsh words from the young cowboy,

-but after a frustrating afternoon...

-..they reach the mountains

-where they'll sleep tonight.

-There's no 5-star hotel here.

-Stiff.

-This horse is so much better.

-A lot happier. I thought it was me.

-I thought I couldn't control

-the horse.

-No, this is far easier.

-I enjoyed that.

-That was lovely. We're in such

-a wonderful, remote place.

-The light is fantastic

-as the sun sets.

-We're going to set up our camp.

-The way the wind's blowing.

-How many Magnificos does it take

-to pitch a tent?

-Three. One on either end,

-and Shan Cothi to talk about it.

-The light fades quickly. Once it

-hits 6.00pm, time is running out.

-One tepee, my bed

-and someone else's bed.

-This is how you pitch a tent.

-Da-da!

-If I hear noises in the night,

-I'll get in with someone else.

-Pull, pull.

-They're made of polystyrene.

-Don't make me laugh.

-I'll drop it on the floor.

-Pity we don't have a wheelbarrow.

-I was thinking of bringing one.

-Driving the cattle this time,

-for me, personally...

-..was a bit of a mess.

-Going in the wrong direction.

-It made me swear.

-What's this? Ar Y Lein or what?

-Water!

-You haven't weeed for a while!

-Megan thinks there's a problem.

-We were supposed to dig a hole.

-Like the hole in the ranch?

-To stop it spreading...

-D'you guys mind

-making it a little smaller?

-'Coz we'll catch the place on fire.

-Do you want us to make a hole first?

-It would be better if you could

-get some sticks and dig it out.

-Try and knock

-some of this grass down.

-Why didn't they say that

-before we started?

-There's always one who knows better.

-Wouldn't it be easier

-to find a hole?

-Have you seen a hole anywhere?

-We rushed into it, like we've done

-with everything else.

-This is nice.

-Supper time.

-What does a cowboy eat for tea?

-How do you want your steak?

-Rare.

-Rare.

-

-Rare?

-Take it as it is now then.

-You know, just... tssss... tssss...!

-Is that all?

-She gave me some anti-bacterial gel.

-She could see me handling her steak.

-I think she was worried

-that I'd get charcoal over her food.

-I'm the practical one

-who brings these things with me.

-Here you go, nice and tender.

-This meat has come from the ranch.

-Lovely.

-Beans.

-They're hot.

-More?

-Thank you.

-This is perfect. Well done, Steffan.

-These steaks are beautiful.

-Cowboy beans. Ooh, ooh!

-There's a kick

-in these cowboy beans.

-Jess, considering where we are...

-..what kind of wildlife should we

-be looking out for, or avoiding?

-We have bears, we have mountain

-lions, we have snakes...

-..rattlesnakes, coral snakes -

-those are the bad ones.

-This is going to be a lovely night,

-Iolo Williams

-would love to be here right now.

-We've driven 27 cattle today.

-Tomorrow...

-..we'll have up to 300.

-He said 180.

-That's how many I thought we had.

-Only the cattle - only the mothers.

-We'll be a quarter of a mile apart.

-How are we going

-to shout to one another?

-It could go pear-shaped.

-It costs 700 if you lose a calf.

-By the end of the year,

-that's how much it's worth.

-Who's brought a pillow?

-Here we go then.

-Here we go then.

-

-Hywel's asleep.

-I'm not going to sleep.

-I can't sleep.

-I want a wee.

-There's something hard in here.

-It's not me!

-It's spiky. It's spiky!

-I'm starting to wind myself up now.

-I think we should have a codeword

-if we see a bear.

-How about 'bear'?!

-They won't understand you.

-With their minds turning

-to the big drive tomorrow...

-..the seven slept quietly -

-for 15 minutes anyway.

-Sshh, sshh, sshh.

-SCREAMING

-Here we go. We think we've

-just stepped in something.

-I thought you said there was a path.

-Some kind of path.

-This is...

-SHE SCREAMS

-What's that?

-If we make enough noise,

-nothing will come near us.

-THEY SCREAM

-Why are we walking so far

-to go to the toilet?

-It's dark - no-one will see us.

-Yes, but there are ants that kill.

-Did they find a suitable toilet?

-Will the 7 Magnifico drive

-the cattle back to the ranch?

-Find out in Part 4.

-Yee-hah!

-.

-888

-888

-888

-The final day. The biggest day.

-The events of the whole week

-have been leading up to this day.

-I was lying here

-and the stars were shooting by.

-It was...! That was great.

-The sun is rising now.

-SHE CRIES

-Is it time to get up?

-I don't think I slept

-for more than half an hour.

-I think I was wearing

-too many clothes.

-Everything was twisted.

-I wasn't comfortable.

-Someone was snoring.

-It was incredible.

-It sounded like an earthquake.

-I don't know who it was,

-but I think it was Iwan John.

-SNORING

-It's 6.00am. Everyone's getting up.

-The fire's still going.

-I'm making biscuits for breakfast.

-There's no time for lunch today.

-A hearty breakfast is crucial.

-We'll roll the beds up.

-Fair play,

-pastry this time of morning!

-Out in the middle of the prairie.

-It's a traditional cowboy breakfast.

-Biscuits and white gravy.

-Is it nice?

-Is it nice?

-

-Yes. It's lovely.

-To me, it's like porridge

-with corned beef in it.

-It sounds disgusting, but it works.

-It does work.

-If the seven of us try to work out

-the tactics, we'll be here all day.

-We'll trust you and Shan.

-You can discuss with Colt

-and tell us what to do.

-What do you think?

-We'll change tactics

-if and when we need to.

-You know what we have to do.

-The strongest riders should have

-the weakest between them.

-That's the only...

-Riders who can turn quickly should

-be there to help those who can't.

-Who can count?

-Who can count?

-

-No.

-I can count

-but I can't count cattle.

-I've had a chat with Colt.

-We lost it yesterday -

-we were hopeless.

-We lost direction.

-We couldn't see one another.

-I think it should be

-Hywel and Steff on the sides...

-..Alex, Iwan, Bethan,

-Megan and Shan.

-I'm between Megan and Iwan.

-OK.

-Are you happy?

-Yes. Happy. Great.

-Sounds like a plan to me.

-They're finally working as a team.

-They're using patience,

-diligence and common sense.

-They need to collect

-as many cattle as they can...

-..and drive them home

-ready for market.

-An hour into the adventure, there's

-no sign of the cattle anywhere.

-Even the cattle they rounded up

-yesterday have disappeared.

-I'm tired already.

-We haven't reached the cattle yet.

-There's nothing to see here.

-We've been back and forth.

-We've found some lovely horses.

-Look over here.

-While Shan is mesmerized

-by the wild Mustangs...

-..Colt has found

-a handful of cattle.

-We're going on alongside the fence.

-Then we'll split up.

-We have to maintain our positions.

-Colt didn't give us a row...

-..but he told us we had to look out

-for one another and work as a team.

-Two hours into the day and the seven

-look confident in their new roles.

-It's complicated.

-We're so far from each other.

-I can't talk to anyone.

-Moo!

-Here we are.

-Longhorn cattle are like buses.

-You wait hours for one, and then

-250 come along at the same time.

-This is fun - it's a lot of fun.

-I think we're starting

-to get it right.

-It's thirsty work.

-Shouting. Dust. Heat.

-Lemonade.

-After four hours in the saddle,

-they count the cattle...

-..to make sure they're all there.

-Whoo! Yah! Yah!

-Have you counted them?

-Have you counted them?

-

-No, I haven't. They keep moving.

-I'm counting the ones with horns.

-11, 12, 13, 14.

-We've learnt a lot

-in the past few days.

-We're communicating a lot more.

-No-one's shouting.

-We all know

-our responsibilities now.

-I counted 114.

-I think there are more than that,

-Alex.

-Are we there yet?

-That was fun.

-We were all working as a team.

-I think we succeeded.

-Some of us had to ride

-through the trees.

-I have half a tree down my trousers.

-It's great.

-We came down through the clearing.

-Someone's shouting.

-We need to drive them

-towards the mountain.

-I have to go. I'm sorry!

-Despite some minor squabbles,

-the team pulls together...

-..as the ranch appears

-on the horizon.

-Alex, there's one down here.

-Whoa. Oh, no. Come on.

-I've ridden my backside off.

-Back and forth, back and forth

-like a sheepdog. Well, a cowdog.

-Home sweet home.

-Fair play,

-after seven hours in the saddle...

-..the seven can relax as

-the last calf strides into the pen.

-It's time to celebrate.

-We've been through

-every tree and hedge in Arizona...

-..but it was worth it.

-As the horses graze

-after a hard day's work...

-..the seven reflect

-on their experience.

-It's hard to

-sum up the whole week in words.

-I was one kind of person

-when I arrived...

-..and I'm a different person

-going home.

-Yeah! Like that.

-Oh! An unforgettable week.

-I've used so much energy.

-I'm glad I tried so hard.

-The people who've taught us...

-..have been totally amazing.

-They're so cool and easy to talk to.

-That's been an eye-opener for me.

-I've never met men who were so cool

-whilst teaching you.

-If you don't get it right, they

-go over and over it until you do.

-There's plenty of wisdom,

-humour and patience here.

-I would have lost my head

-on the second day.

-Lasso - hopeless. They were

-so special. Friends forever.

-Driving the cattle on the final day

-was the most difficult experience...

-..and yet, the most precious.

-It was long and hard.

-I've brought my shirt just

-to show you how disgusting it is.

-It's covered in dust, sweat

-and blood. It's ripped to shreds.

-This horse isn't behaving.

-He looks tame to me.

-He looks tame to me.

-

-He is, but he walks into fences.

-As time went by,

-my confidence kept on building.

-Then, cockily, I said to Hywel...

-.."Hey, they're running away.

-After them."

-And he did!

-I said, "Yes, boss."

-I was very comfortable with it.

-It was a special experience

-to be part of a team.

-For me, the whole week has been...

-..strange in terms

-of meeting people.

-It was like going back to school.

-Meeting people

-I've never met before.

-You see a hidden side to people.

-I've taken to teamwork

-far better than I thought I would.

-I'm a better person

-for the experience.

-One of the most important things

-I've learnt is not being scared...

-..of things so much.

-SHE SCREAMS

-We should do things without fear -

-not worry about the consequences...

-..because such fear holds me back

-in life, generally.

-Being here has taught me

-not to do that.

-Being in dangerous situations

-is good for a person.

-It's good for the soul.

-The feeling of overcoming problems

-gives a sense of great liberation.

-It teaches you a lot about yourself.

-I've laughed until I've cried.

-And I've cried.

-I've trotted horses,

-I've jumped gates and fences.

-I've done dressage and

-cross country. I've done the lot.

-But Poco, I'll never forget you.

-I think I've learnt a lot

-about myself...

-..and about the fantastic tradition

-of the cowboys...

-..and the reason why they do

-this job the way they do.

-I've visited numerous countries and

-had adrenaline-packed experiences.

-But I can say, hand on heart,

-this week beats them all.

-Back in the stable to see Colt, Ken,

-Randy and Jess for the last time.

-I appreciate you coming out here.

-Give yourselves a round of applause.

-To you, too.

-Everybody did a great job.

-We really worked together for the

-most part. There were no problems.

-I want to pick just one person...

-..that was equally good

-at all things.

-That's Steffan.

-Whoo!

-This is silly

-because it was such a team effort.

-It really was - it was a big team.

-And that was a hard decision.

-Alex was definitely

-the most improved.

-Really worked hard,

-and especially yesterday.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

-

-See you soon. It was a pleasure.

-Thank you very much.

-Don't cry.

-Three cheers

-for the Price Canyon Ranch.

-Hip, hip. Hooray!

-Hip, hip. Hooray! Hip, hip. Hooray!

-No animals were harmed

-during filming...

-..but Iwan John caught a nasty cold.

-Goodbye, y'all.
