      @@uniauther13 57 here and absolutely right. omg those erstwhile innocent times were just perfect for us kids. not saying life was in the world of Enid Blyton perfect as bad shit still went on but wow, look at todays kids.. mobiles painted faces lashes, no hide n seek and all those wonderful games we played. everyone wants to be grown up, indoctrinated by tv and the Kardashians et al. I thank fuck I'm not a kid now . my eyes well up. when I think of running across fields thru woods playing innocent war games. keep the faith people and never forget how bloody lucky we were. x

      Much better times indeed. I'm 81½ and am constantly reminded how the world as we know it is being destroyed by technology and attitudes. Turn on one's TV today and it won't be too long before you're bombarded with frightful sensationalism featuring self-obsessed morons on programmes like Naked Attraction( grown adults bollock- naked on national TV groveling for dates!) and The Sex Clinic (again grown adults on National TV exposing us all to their rancid STD's and egos out of control!!)
      I believe this is what such things as FaceBook has created, monstrous creatures who believe everything about them and their lives is interesting to everyone else. Including their diseased sexual organs!!

I really don't know why, but deffo memories of Swap Shop, Tiswas, Banana Splits, The Red Hand Gang et al - all the innocence of childhood, all came flooding back. Now surrounded by death and misery. Nevermind - Happy New Year folks :-)

      For 15 years of my early life, I basically spent every spare moment drawing horses because of that music and the imagery of black beauty running to the theme. I’m in my 50’s now and now can draw excellently. In art collage I was picked as the best life sketcher in my year of 90 students. My aptitude for muscle and bone structure is all thanks to this fine BBC program. I’m happy to pay my TV licence for all the great memories and even skills there programs ave given me.🥰

    I'm knocking on 50 years old now, I remember this as a lad back in the late 70's early 80's (I was probably watching repeats of it then). I like to think the horse in the credits is really happy and enjoyed the shoot, it looks like it did. I wish I could have stayed as a child in the 70's/80's, life is much simpler when you are young, and those were more simpler basic times than we live in now.

I think some music is just very emotive and can really move you. Even if I hear that piece of music now it sends a wave of nostalgia and almost heartbreak right through me.

    I adore this tune. Coming from a gypsy family, this always reminds me of my old grandad who used to gallop (ok, maybe trot!) home on a horse to his caravan in the UK in the mid 70's. I'm 53 and he passed years ago of course. But this tune grabs me by the throat, spins me around and gives goosebumps like I've never had. And the banging of those symbols/drums.... so powerful, it's wow!. So much orchestral work must have gone into putting this together. Thanks Lance for sharing.

    This brings back so many good memories, one in particular of my best friend and I galloping around the school playground on our pretend black beauties back in the late 80s. I absolutely loved this programme x

    I loved Black Beauty, the series, the film back in the day and I love this theme tune, superb. I also love the book by Anna Sewell who is one of my heroes and Black Beauty is my favourite horse of all time. Thank you I loved finding this.❤🐇
