Just a little factoid for ya... The guy riding the horse as the "White Knight" was killed11/19/67 in a plane crash. His 10 year old son was also killed. His wife and 13 year old daughter survived the crash but, were trapped in the plane for 36 hours until rescued.

Yes, 'bongo', "The White Knight" first appeared in 1964, and was seen in Ajax Laundry Detergent ads over the next three years {even Bob Hope parodied it in his 1967 feature "Eight On the Lam"}.
