.. TV series??
Obviously I'm not going mad, as there's a web-site & the theme-music in this site (http://www.mark-hammond.co.uk/music.htm)
I've asked various collegues/friends & no-one can even remember it, or the music.
It was voted the best TV theme ever (http://www.geocities.com/thewhitehorses/dailyexpress.html)
'White Horses' website (http://www.geocities.com/thewhitehorses/)
The singer is Jackie Lee, the same lay who sang 'Rupert The Bear'
Go on, someone must remember it

Yep, unfortunately I have to admit that I remember the series well. If I remember right it was a foreign series dubbed (very badly) into English.

"puff the magic dragon" lol still rememember the whole song, (also the nawty version)

"White Horses" was one of the perennial programmes of the shcool holidays; it was trotted out (sorry!) year after year, and due to the scheduling of the programmes to acommodate London school holidays, which started a couple of weeks later than ours in the Midlands, we never did see the end of it!!
-
Yup, I remember white horses as a youngster.
Had the same slot and rotated with Robinson Crusoe (with the annoying parrot which said "Poor Robin" all the time) and Belle & Sebastian, which was about a mahoosive dog and a kid as I remember.
-
Don't remember much about it, but do remember the program title and music.

At least I'm not going senile & it did exist on British TV
'Elmo', I thought the massive dog & the girl was 'Crystal Tipps & Alistair'??

And here's the opening sequence.
