Series 1: 6. Builth Wells 2
In beautiful mid Wales, the Royal Welsh Showground hosts a unique annual event: the Welsh Cob Autumn Sale. Four hundred horses go under the hammer over three days, with prices ranging from £100 to £10,000. There's no event like it anywhere else in the world. \n\nWelsh cobs are among Britain's most popular horse breeds, with a passionate international following too. For seller Julie Evans, there's a lot at stake. She's one of the UK's top Welsh cob breeders, and a former winner at the prestigious Royal Welsh Show. So, many eyes will be on the four horses she's brought to sell. Buyer Alan Scales has a lot riding on the auction too. He's one of the biggest Welsh cob agents in Britain, buying hundreds of horses a year on behalf of his many international clients. He needs to purchase 30 or so Welsh cobs over the next three days to satisfy clients in France, Holland and Germany. Seller Rob Manchip has different priorities. After 40 years as a renowned Welsh cob breeder, he's approaching retirement age and wants to downsize. He has four horses to sell, and hopes to find excellent homes for them all.
