Born in 1961. Lived in an industrial area of the North West on a council estate. When I saw this back in the day I couldn't believe that such beautiful places existed to live and grow up. I ached with envy.
hope you live in a nicer place now? I was born 1961 too, but on a National Trust estate my father ran, so looking back I suppose I had that idyllic childhood. doing things Boys' Own boys did; shooting, building camps, climbing haystacks. Bit lonely being an only child but a great upbringing, no horses though, cows and wildlife aplenty. I envied the kids who lived in town; a walk away from their friends after school, football on the green, shop just around the corner, even if everywhere was shut on Sunday. Remember that? The newsagent would open till ten for the Sunday papers and cigarettes, then the whole place was dead, even TV shut down, back in the days when it was Marathon, not Snickers, Opal Fruits, not Starburst, and you could get Spangles and Curly Wurly. We had a Chinese takeaway open in 1975 in the local town where you could buy chips for 15p, so I would ride my bike the 4 miles there just to get a bag. If I wanted friends over my father had to go and collect them and take them back later. He must be in heaven now, the things he did for me.
Alright, alright!! Don't rub it in!! I'm joking. Your childhood sounds great. I was somewhere between the two. Council house, 1970s, new town,, but a great time to grow up and a great town in which to live, close to countryside and woods in which to have small time adventures. We only used sticks as pretend guns when we played war. That's not to say I hark back to those days that much; i love in the now, but in the past. These days, life is great but obviously different. The fact that I can watch videos on my handheld telephone and connect like this with strangers is something as a child I would never have dreamt was possible, even if I saw it on Tomorrow's World!
Just made a grown man cry , my sister adored the program and mostly the song and mum bought her the 7inch single which she played to death , on the home record player , many yrs later she put this scratched old disc on MY BRAND NEW STATE OF THE ART stereo (heap of junk ) lol ,well as the older big brother i lost the plot and smashed it to bits oh she cried for a month lol and as we grew up she never let for forget what i did , i would give everything i own today just to give her that single back today , but she passed away a few yrs ago now and god do i miss her , so to who ever put this on you tube i thank you for bringing back happy and sad memories of years gone by .
Don't regret anything. Your sister took those words she loved and raced to meet the dawn. Now the saga of the record is a long forgotten incident for her compared to the mass of happy memories you must have shared.
Man…..this has floored me. This song always reminds me of my Ma. There are so many things that I did wrong and wish there were so many more things I had done to make her proud of me. Please do not feel too bad about the incident , as the saying goes, it’s when it hurts is when it matters.
My late Mother chose this to be played at her funeral in 2012. My heart is still breaking. It will never heal. God bless you Mum, I love and miss you so much.
How weird to learn that. It is on the shortlist for songs I'd like played at mine! I think it reminds people my age (mid 50s,) of a time of innocence and wonder, before we knew what a mixed-up, messed-up place the world could be.
Pete Denver I just left a very similar post on another vid of this theme. It really evokes childhood times. Years have gone by but suddenly seeing/hearing this had me remembering my late mum and feeling like I could cry. We’re lucky to have such memories Pete.
I still get those warm emotional feeling at 66 years, I was so in love with her ,I don't think she ever had any idea of what she was, giving to the world, yet her life was so troublesome and died so young still breaks my , heart ,i have play it 3 time times now and it takes me back to when i was 10, and it is the same warm and optimistic emotion ,
I was born in 1968 and remember watching this as a 7 year old and loved it...My older sister bought me the 45 single of the theme tune... Sat here crying...Thanks for sharing this 😊
Born in 64, Had a lump in my throat for this plus other programs from early 70s. Banana splits, Double Deckers etc. Loved the theme from Flashing blade, the dubbing was appalling wasn't interested in it. Champion the wonder horse, Robinson Crusoe. Glad l was born in 60s, l do too much reminiscing........
@@bernadettemurray8260 Oh my life...Loved Banana splits and loved Champion the wonder horse to bits...Thanks...I have the song in my head now " like a mighty canon ball " 😂
Took you away to a mythical land just for 30 minutes children's TV back in the 70s was amazing double deckers water margin flashing blade joe 90 but the weirdest of all the singing ringing tree, there is a Nobel prize waiting to be collected if you can work out whats going on in that show .
It's so beautiful and wonderful, I loved her when l was young and always will , it reminds of my childhood all the times l watched, I really can't understand how anyone can't like J videos, l love them they amazing and lovely ❤
My mum met the singer of this buetfull song she was at a concert with friends this lady was one of the people who was singing in it allso she did Rupert the bear song my mum told me as well
I wish I could watch this again for the first time, then get up from the floor and see my Ma in the kitchen. I will not ‘like’ yet as 131 was the number of where we lived, surely a sign! 😊

Hi I was born end of 66 and I vaguely remember the song. I was sitting here musing why I wasn't so familiar with this and wondered as a late riser .....was I in bed🤣?? What time was it on??
Born in 1962 hated the series hated the music my mum loved it brings back such memories of love and childhood wish I had been a better son and not a scumbag
We had this track on a TV theme tune record. It had a terrible scratch on it and the needle forever jumped back on “Stars away, stars away, stars away, stars away……….”

Who on earth would put thumbs down on this,Its timeless and beautiful.
Eight monsters.
Or, maybe just eight people who dreamt of having a beautiful experience/relationship with horses who were possibly traumatized by the beasts!
God only knows
Wonderful
Those who don’t know 👍
Brilliant ,childhood memories come flooding back , a lovely ,innocent time to be young . Thank you .
Always on in the 6 weeks school summer holidays, loved the theme tune.
my very first memory of T.V and get a lump in my throat when I hear this.
The beautiful vocals from Jackie Lee
I used to watch white horses every saturday when i was very little loved it.💖💖💖💖💖
A song and a series from my very very past 60`s love this song reminds me of happy times .... Can`t listen it enough
This old memory had me absolutely mesmerized.
Took you away to a mythical land just for 30 minutes children's TV back in the 70s was amazing double deckers water margin flashing blade joe 90 but the weirdest of all the singing ringing tree, there is a Nobel prize waiting to be collected if you can work out whats going on in that show .

Lovely piece of music,happy memories.
Thanks for finding this and uploading it - such a pretty song. The last time I heard it, I was about 10 years old and it was 1976 or thereabouts.
My mum met the singer of this buetfull song she was at a concert with friends this lady was one of the people who was singing in it allso she did Rupert the bear song my mum told me as well
And Indigo Pipkin :)
This was the start of me falling in love with grey horses..xx
I wish I could watch this again for the first time, then get up from the floor and see my Ma in the kitchen.
I will not ‘like’ yet as 131 was the number of where we lived, surely a sign! 😊
Born in 1961, I’ve loved horses all my life.
I loved this I was only 6yrs old but loved the white horses and the theme tune
Along with Belle & Sebastian, great French tv kids tv series; lovingly enjoyed in France and lots of other countries.
Wasn't white horses from Belgium?. Although I might be wrong
The Aeronauts !

A German/Yugoslav co production
@@Georgieastra I stand corrected 👍 but...set (and filmed in France)

I used to rock on my rocking horse all the way through the programme , loved it ❤
Hard to believe it, but Jackie Lee was also a backing singer for Jimi Hendrix.
Actually All along the watch tower might work as the signature tune for White Horses?
I remember watching this
Oh beautiful theme
Glenn Johnson What a wonderful song.Takes me back 52 years and can remember Jacky Lee performing it on "Top of the pops".Recently purchased the original "White Horses" re-issue album on CD,including the b side to the single,all in glorious stereo
Wasn’t it someYugoslav cluster f7ck?
I heard that this theme tune was only used for the British adaptation.
Happy carefree days 👍👍👍👍
Irish girl Jacky Lee sang this theme and Rupert the bear too..🎶🎶🎵🎵🙏🙏👍👍
This and Folly foot. I preffred this, the girl was better looking, and she could ride better than any of the Follyfoot mob.
Loved that show and the song that goes with it
memories
Julia was like a young Brigitte Bardot
A Saturday morning getting ready for the ABC Minors. White horses, try to watch this at the same time. Was always good my sister loved it.
Lovely video and music too
why does it make us cry I wonder ... lost childhood I suppose
The girl looks like my sisters daughter and she likes horses too.
Helga Anders; my first crush.
Yup, and tragic what happened to her.
@@shireboundscribblesAbsolutely, and child actress abused by the system 😢
It was a beautiful dream of a programe to me a young girl at the time❤
A bit before my time but I think I must have seen a repeat.
Never got up in time for this. Just saw the end credits 😄
Hi I was born end of 66 and I vaguely remember the song. I was sitting here musing why I wasn't so familiar with this and wondered as a late riser .....was I in bed🤣?? What time was it on??
God.bless.your.mother.
Born in 1962 hated the series hated the music my mum loved it brings back such memories of love and childhood wish I had been a better son and not a scumbag
While girls seemed to watch this for the horses, as a boy I watched it for Helga Anders. Horses for courses, as they say,
Something special
...and the Lone rangers horse was called?? Help me.
