  • Horsey programme but not follyfoot?

    What was the programme in the 70s/80s that had a great theme tune and it was about a girl and some horses - I think it was on ITV so wasn't white horses. It was like Follyfoot but definitely not that - just one word I think beginning with C?

      Oh my.

      I've got the theme tune running aroundin my head. Isn't it amazing how you can suddenly remember lyrics that you haven't thought about in years.
      Laugh and the world laughs with you.
      But do it all the time and they will lock you away.

        Another one similar to this was My Friend Flicka

        I had discounted these 'cowboy types though, as Follyfoot and White Horses were sort of 'Stud Farm / Retired Horse' type programmes

          Apparently there was a seventies series called The Stables and there are DVD's of the programme available here - http://www.britishhorse.com/acatalog..._DVD_s_49.html

          Don't know if its Drama or Documentary style though

            None of those I'm afraid - it was a british programme and there was a girl in it with brown hair - the theme tune used to sort of say "mom mom" - by the way I am quite sane!

                Excellent find! Thats a new one on me, well done!
                I bet its that "Song of Christina" thats stuck in the OP mind, brings in the "C" name nicely too.

                    Lyrics in all there glory

                    "Song of Christina"
                    Music by David Fanshawe. Lyrics by Alan Plater.
                    Vocal by Nick Curtis.
                    "I will sing you a song of Christina, Christina, of Christina.
                    I'll sing you a song of Christina at Flambards.
                    "I'll sing you no ballads of rose-garden ladies,
                    Watering flowers in parallel rows;
                    Instead let me sing you a song of Christina
                    Who makes her own music wherever she goes.
                    "I'll sing you a song of Christina, Christina, of Christina.
                    I'll sing you a song of Christina at Flambards.
                    "I'll sing you no sonnets of drawing-room ladies
                    Dipping dry biscuits in unsweetened tea;
                    Instead I'll show you a girl who walks boldly,
                    Tough as a diamond, laughing and free.
                    "I'll sing you a song of Christina, Christina, of Christina.
                    I'll sing you a song of Christina at Flambards.
                    "You will not find her kissing the hem of your garment
                    However you beckon and call.
                    She'll more likely share you red wine and rude stories
                    In the wee small hours after the ball.
                    "I'll chant you no anthems of sweet-smelling ladies
                    Uttering small talk at vicarage teas;
                    Instead I'll sing of a smiling survivor
                    Who's been through the wood and the trees.
                    "I'll sing you a song of Christina, Christina, of Christina.
                    I'll sing you a song of Christina at Flambards.
                    I'll sing you a song of Christina, Christina, of Christina.
                    I'll sing you a song of Christina at Flambards."

                      Fantastic! That is it - this is a great forum! Will have to remember other programmes - you can't beat them from the 70s/80s!
