@mayhorse66 yes I am married. Since you are curious I will do my best to explain why the song affects me so much. I have been thinking about it for years.
It's the melody progression. Jackie Lee may confirm this, but I am fairly sure it goes from major, to major 7th then down to major again. The major 7 is special , I think this might have been the first time I heard it's etherial harmony when I was about 4 years old listening to this song, and I was stunned . With the gentle, sweet singing of
@michendo You are right on with your comment. When I first saw heard the melody and saw the lyric I knew then it had to sound ethereal and I think I succeeded in that. Thank you for your musical comment.
@MsJackieLee Your site has strange connectivity; which bit of my Country did you encounter in your younger days? My original comment on this was made to a very dear friend of mine and its funny you are now "the voice".
@Kilchattan7 The voice speaking hen, lol. I first encountered Scotland when I was with my first Big Band.
"The Squadrenaires" we played in a huge ballroom on Suckiehall street called Greens Playhouse. It was quite a famous dancehall in those days. I would be very surprised if it is still there. I dont think I ever laughed so much because of the scottish humour.
Ah! the good old days of which I have very fond memories.
@Kilchattan7 Thank you for correcting my spelling of Sauchiehall, I spelt it phonetically. I have to laugh when you say I was a braw lass, as I have a very funny story about the first time we got off our Royal Blue Bus to enter Greens. I still laugh about it and have told the story many time. I can not put it down on paper because of the langauge I would have to use, I will leave it to your imagination.
@MsJackieLee LOL I used to live right off Sauchiehall, and my husband,who is American, still insists on pronouncing it phonetically! Jackie, when is your book coming out?
@Jojoseahorse That is so funny, I would like to hear that. Unfortunately my book is on hold at the moment as the writer is on another project that she is being paid for. So I have to wait for how long, I am not sure. Thanks for asking.
I'm a fairly normal 44 year old guy , but yet your song brings me to tears every time I hear it. No other song does that. I know it sounds sad but your voice takes me back to a happy place. So sweet and lovely. Strange.
Sadly, the English language version of this show no longer exists. I have an email from someone at the BBC back in 2005 which tells me "they junked them within the last five years, along with only copies of the English language versions of the soundtracks"... Argh!
@jfree96 Yes indeed I heard the same thing, I dont know why they scrap shows like White Horses and other memorable shows, maybe to reuse the tapes, who knows. It's such a shame.
Ms Jackie Lee, i hope you have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS, and a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR. i hope that some of the tv channels start repeating White Horses, or even Rupert, so that a new generation can appreciate your musical talent. God Bless
@srboath What a lovely message , I thank you. Yes it would be nice if they could bring back the Original White Horses and Rupert or a new WH and Rupert with my original recordings, however, I think that is wishful thinking. Pity. Do have a very good Healthy, and Prosperous New Year.
What can i say, i was just browsing through old clips and this jumped out and dragged me back to my childhood. 'Whie Horses' was a series i loved as a child, and hearing the theme tune completely transported me back in time. Many thanks.
@oatlandsbear What would we do without computers. I for one would not be able to read all these wonderful messages about The White Horses series and my White Horses recording.
White Horses was my favourtie programme as a child and I have so many happy memories. This morning, 24th Nov 2010, the golden oldie on Chris Evans's Radio 2 show was On White Horses and I sang along and still know every word of this wonderdul song. I am now 54 years old :-) Thank you for a lovely song. Jill x

the best tv programme of my childhood and i love lisening to the theme tryed for many years to find it wish i could buy it all on dvd and watch for old time sake
@irenewoods42 - the singer of this song - and the Rupert The Bear theme - is Jackie Lee and she has her own youtube channel. Search for MsJackieLee and you'll find it and be able to speak to her. I did, and have!!
beautiful song i have never forgotten from a timeless era i will never forget . those summers just lasted an eternity as a kid and the days seemed to last forever . beautiful memories!
Hello again Jackie, Thank you for the information about your record. I can tell you, I will always keep it, unless you change your mind. I only have a handful of records that I ever owned from new. All of them are dear to me for one reason or another, in all of them you would never need a words sheet. I only have records you can hear the words clearly on. May just be a me thing, who knows. Thanks again for your information, hope you are keeping well, take care...Tony
You were a big part. Your voice is Lovely. My dear late Mom always made sure we had to eat at the table. I used to get up and go into the front room when I heard your voice!!!! Mom would then bring my tea so I could watch the show. I did have a Big row mind you!!
Again thank You. I don't know if I can say this but what ever.. Godbless
@4airwolf Hi again Tony, I am so glad you are keeping the record in mint condition. I believe at this moment it is worth some money as someone was offering my White Horses Album on ebay for I think 200 pounds, whether it was bought I dont know. So you hang on to it. Thanks again for the offer.
Hi jackie, Thank you for your near instant reply. Yes I had to order the record, It has been played a few times early on and is in nearly mint condition. I would be very happy to send it to you as a gift, If you do not have a copy. I have heard of artists that always wished they had kept a copy of there work. It was nice in those days to listen to a song and to be able to hear all the words clearly. Tony
@4airwolf Hi Tony, you are so kind. Thank you so much for the offer, however, I really think you should keep it as I hear that those original singles are very hard to come by and should be worth some money to you. I do agree with you in hearing every word of White Horses as I was such a stickler for that no matter what I recorded. Such is not the case nowadays.
Hi Jackie, I watched the white horses series when it was first on tv. I went and purchased a copy of your record a 45rpm single and still have it. I like many others had a crush on the girl who played julia and was sorry to only now find out she had died, so many years ago. Even now your song takes me back and still gives me a chill, in a good way.
@4airwolf Hi there, thank you for buying my White Horses single, I cant believe you still have it. I am sure that it must be worth something to have one of the original singles as there are not many that have survived. Love your comment.
Thank you for showing this gem of yesteryear brings back wonderful memories of my childhood. Happy days. Theres nothing on television today like this. Everything today is corrupt. Thanks for showing.
Once again the BBC has wiped the tapes- top marks for stupidity. I had the hots for this nice natural girl back in 1968 and the BBC has ruined it all- I might have to withhold my licence fee in protest!
@MsJackieLee Jackie there was a programme on TV last night- "The Unforgettable Bob Monkhouse". A clip from "The Golden Shot" was shown including the end credits- and you were there- I suppose it must have been 1968 and you were on to sing "White Horses" . I can't remember if guests shot the bolt to sever the cord but I seem to remember a viewer phoned up from a phone box outside a Radio Rentals shop and he was watching the TV through the shop window! Totally crazy! I don't think Bernie scored!
this takes me back to my school days....... happy times.... i want this played at my funeral... as a nod to my happy childhood, thanks so much for this......
@MsJackieLee hi jackie unfortunately my mother passed away 4 weeks ago so my comments might have been a bit premature, however i carried her in like i did for my father and know they are together again in god,s garden .... god bless......
Hello Jackie. Les from NZ here. I do not remember the TV show being played here but I certainly remember the song well. Fortunately I have the 45 and I have also recorded the B side Too many chiefs to my hard drive. White Horses is a classic and for me also takes my mind back to those dreamy days of the 60's. What really bugs me about oldies radio stations today is that they seem to play the same 10% of old tunes over and over again and ignore great songs such as yours.
Best TV show of all time, hands down. I wasn't even born when it was released, but we had the single (thanks to my older brothers), so it was played to death. Adorable.
@Boydno9 i agree, timeless classic, reminds me of school holidays. I only wished I had bought the single on 45rpm when it was offered to me, as have recently bought a 1971 Juke Box. Would be so fitting xxxx
I was totally bowled over to think I had a reply from Jackie! So gracious. I think I speak for what must be all those pony/horse mad children back then that have become adult riders or horse lovers, in saying a huge thank you, firstly for singing White Horses and secondly for being gracious, and courteous enough to reply to us here. The memories you helped evoke are with us forever.
PS Jackie, my canter work gets done to Lightning Tree from Follyfoot, but yours doesn't need to be tweaked to fit
@WildPony001 It is my pleasure to answer each and everyone of the comments that are sent to me. I am the lucky one here to think there are so many people such as yourself that take the time to write to me it is only right that I respond as I do with great delight. I have not heard Lightening Tree, however I am sure it is most apt for your cantering.
Thank God for You Tube - I have been looking for a copy of this song for years - My childhood was filled with horses and this TV series with Jackys song never left me. It still brings so much emotion up for me. It must be amazing Jacky that so many people have been touched by this song and series. it is good to see your comments - I wish you all the best :)
@terigary123 Hello there terigary, I must say yes I am quite amazed at the amount of people I hear from, each with their own special memories regarding my White Horses Theme, wonderful I call it. Thank you for your lovely comment.
I love this song. It is one of those songs that one can never forget. Like everyone else, it brings back memories of my childhood, both happy and sad, and an age of innocence that has now sadly disappeared. I always dreamed of getting to ride one of those beautiful white horses...I've never ridden a horse to this day sadly!!
A marvelous TV series for children of my era, and the song so sweetly sung by Jackie with that lovely, warm voice. Thanks for the memories so much.
@prisonervi Ah beautiful memories indeed. I remember when I went to the stables outside London to do the shoot for the cover of the White Horses album I was totally blown away at the wonderful majectic white horses that I had my photo's taken with. They were such magnificant creatures. It left an indelible mark on my mind.
Jackie Lee.
Gentle creatures. I will never forget the experience, althoug I had ridden horses bare back as a child they were always small ponies.
Statutory viewing for me, thank you Jackie and the program for getting me addicted.....to horses. I've had my own for 21 yrs and used the theme for schooling to. Works well for my boys paces.
@WildPony001 Oh how lovely I can just picture the whole scene you discribe, your beautiful horses trotting to My White Horses Theme song recording. I wonder do they enjoy it, the music I mean?. Thanks for your lovely comment.
@Mistrigf I am so glad that you liked my recording of the Theme song to this series. I must say I did enjoy recording it at the time, however, I had no idea it would mean so much to so many people. I am thrilled and very honored to have been associated with both White Horses and also Rupert Bear.
Oh my gosh.. I just LOVED this show.. this music just gives me shivers and so many happy memories. I sent it to my brother in the UK and he wrote back and said it brought a tear to his eye..
@IKnowitAllYeah Well thank you very much for your delightful comment. I am just thrilled and so very honored by all the comments I get regarding my recording of White Horses. What can I say.
Hey, just watching this with my mum who is going crazy cos Im finding out there's no way to get it on dvd in the UK. Anyone know if we can buy it on dvd at all? even if it's the german version my mam says it would be the best christmas prezzie x
Gosh! This takes my mind back... Me and my brother when it was shown on TV in the mornings during our Easter Holidays from School almost forty years ago... Oh the lovely memories... So upset to learn that all these were wiped/lost forever...
oh my goodness it takes me back to when i was little,I wish they would repeat the shows on sky or something..love the theme.I wanted to ride all the time back then.
@MsJackieLee Thanks for the lovely memories! If I can't share this wonderful show with my three girls (still hope for a DVD release) at least I can share the song on Youtube :)
@Jojoseahorse Hi there, a DVD would be nice wouldn't it. Maybe if you email Universal records to see if they would re-release my White Horses again, it would be very interesting to hear what they would say. I am so honored to be part of your happy memories. Thanks for your lovely comment.
yes, my daughter said she wants the kind of life I had as a kid, running about with no cares, summer holidays full of fun and great tv, white horses, follyfoot, black beauty etc........
Oh my god i'm back in the good old school summer holidays watching this and then going out with my friends pretending to ride white horses!! The best years of me life.
@wedrinkmountaindew How nice to read your comment. When I recorded White Horses I had no idea how much that sweet little song would mean to all of you wonderful people who take the time to comment on this Utube. Thank you all so very much indeed.
The concept of white horses is really the concept of renewal.
It's no coincidence that unicorns, those mythical beasts, with both the earthly strength of muscle under lithe flesh, and the drifting easy grace of soft spun silken clouds, are always depicted as white.
In wanting to see them, feel them, ride them, you are expressing the idea of freedom and need, of responsibility and duty.
The silken clouds of shifting light are thundering in your mind, grace unfolding.
im 46 i have told people of similar age about this nostalgic tune it has the same effect on every on of our era, why is that? its we also have the 80s. dont do other eras have same?
It was the theme to out childhood years, back in the long hot summer of 76 - Tintin and White Horses followed by Why don't you - and then I guess most kids did switch off that is... Good times
40 years have flown by, what a fantastic tune. I was 6 and was transfixed when the song came on the old TV Mum and Dad must have been glad, I loved the blonde girl in the show and wished that she would be my girlfriend. The things that go through your mind when you are so young.
I grew up with this programme I first watch this when I was 3 hrs old

Once again the BBC has wiped the tapes- top marks for stupidity. I had the hots for this nice natural girl back in 1968 and the BBC has ruined it all- I might have to withhold my licence fee in protest!

@MsJackieLee Jackie there was a programme on TV last night- "The Unforgettable Bob Monkhouse". A clip from "The Golden Shot" was shown including the end credits- and you were there- I suppose it must have been 1968 and you were on to sing "White Horses" . I can't remember if guests shot the bolt to sever the cord but I seem to remember a viewer phoned up from a phone box outside a Radio Rentals shop and he was watching the TV through the shop window! Totally crazy! I don't think Bernie scored!

I recall the theme music but what the hell was this tv series about - other than horses of course.
Chilling in the sixties and seventies as a kid was so cool in reflection.

Hello Jackie. Les from NZ here. I do not remember the TV show being played here but I certainly remember the song well. Fortunately I have the 45 and I have also recorded the B side Too many chiefs to my hard drive. White Horses is a classic and for me also takes my mind back to those dreamy days of the 60's. What really bugs me about oldies radio stations today is that they seem to play the same 10% of old tunes over and over again and ignore great songs such as yours.
Thanks for the memories

Best TV show of all time, hands down. I wasn't even born when it was released, but we had the single (thanks to my older brothers), so it was played to death. Adorable.

@Boydno9 i agree, timeless classic, reminds me of school holidays. I only wished I had bought the single on 45rpm when it was offered to me, as have recently bought a 1971 Juke Box. Would be so fitting xxxx

I was totally bowled over to think I had a reply from Jackie! So gracious. I think I speak for what must be all those pony/horse mad children back then that have become adult riders or horse lovers, in saying a huge thank you, firstly for singing White Horses and secondly for being gracious, and courteous enough to reply to us here. The memories you helped evoke are with us forever.
PS Jackie, my canter work gets done to Lightning Tree from Follyfoot, but yours doesn't need to be tweaked to fit

@WildPony001 It is my pleasure to answer each and everyone of the comments that are sent to me. I am the lucky one here to think there are so many people such as yourself that take the time to write to me it is only right that I respond as I do with great delight. I have not heard Lightening Tree, however I am sure it is most apt for your cantering.
Best Wishes to you,

Thank God for You Tube - I have been looking for a copy of this song for years - My childhood was filled with horses and this TV series with Jackys song never left me. It still brings so much emotion up for me. It must be amazing Jacky that so many people have been touched by this song and series. it is good to see your comments - I wish you all the best :)

I love this song. It is one of those songs that one can never forget. Like everyone else, it brings back memories of my childhood, both happy and sad, and an age of innocence that has now sadly disappeared. I always dreamed of getting to ride one of those beautiful white horses...I've never ridden a horse to this day sadly!!
A marvelous TV series for children of my era, and the song so sweetly sung by Jackie with that lovely, warm voice. Thanks for the memories so much.
prisonervi 1 year ago
@prisonervi Ah beautiful memories indeed. I remember when I went to the stables outside London to do the shoot for the cover of the White Horses album I was totally blown away at the wonderful majectic white horses that I had my photo's taken with. They were such magnificant creatures. It left an indelible mark on my mind.
Jackie Lee.
Gentle creatures. I will never forget the experience, althoug I had ridden horses bare back as a child they were always small ponies.

Statutory viewing for me, thank you Jackie and the program for getting me addicted.....to horses. I've had my own for 21 yrs and used the theme for schooling to. Works well for my boys paces.

The concept of white horses is really the concept of renewal.
It's no coincidence that unicorns, those mythical beasts, with both the earthly strength of muscle under lithe flesh, and the drifting easy grace of soft spun silken clouds, are always depicted as white.
In wanting to see them, feel them, ride them, you are expressing the idea of freedom and need, of responsibility and duty.
The silken clouds of shifting light are thundering in your mind, grace unfolding.
