BBC One - Coast and Country Auctions, Series 1, Builth Wells 1

The Royal Welsh Showground in Builth Wells, Wales, hosts the Welsh Cob Autumn Sale.

Series looking at Britain's traditional markets. This episode visits the Royal Welsh Showground in Builth Wells, Wales, which hosts the Welsh Cob Autumn Sale.

The Royal Welsh Showground in Builth Wells, mid Wales, hosts the Welsh Cob Autumn Sale. In front of crowds of up to 3,000, the three-day event sees more than 400 horses go under the hammer. One of the UK's most popular horse breeds, Welsh cobs were once the national workhorses. Now they're in high demand for riding and showing, both in the UK and internationally. Buyers from Japan and Germany are regularly seen at the auction.

For seller Marilyn Beach and granddaughter Robyn, there's lots at stake. They have four horses to sell, and success will help ensure the future of the family stables that Robin hopes to run one day. Janet Alderton and daughter Jo need new horses for their riding school and know that if they can get what they need, they can change lives. Seller David Oliver's motivation is different. The family horse hobby has got out of hand, and they own 40! Selling some is essential to make the family farm more manageable.
