Wonderful bit of nostalgia (ah, the black and white TV pictures), nice tune, but I don't think it's the programme I had in mind; I definitely remember horses running through surf.
I have a feeling that it was a children's TV programme - does that that stir anyone's memories out there?

Oh, right... not that one then... what about the late 1990s Guiness advert where pounding surf turned into w galloping white horses.... great film effects...... ???

'Yes' Peter, it was a Play School film shot specially for the programme!  Through the ? window into the real world and covered a huge range of events and places.  Many now famous people worked on the programme:

Congratulations on your superb shots in this region of birds and insects and a great study of the bull's head - it could be on a coin!)

Peter some wonderful photos there thanks for sharing.

Yesterday I took these pictures of a family of deer that are always on the road up to my house. I get really close to them...noticed she has a injury to her eye.

Really natural relaxed shots you took of the deer, gorgeous young one with those appealing eyes and markings and some sun Angie, perfect setting in the ferns  :D

I preferred the McEwan's lager adverts, although there was one Guinness ad where David Haig(?) is trying to say something over the din of a disco and shouts 'marvellous' at the top of his voice just as the music stopped!

The adverts I liked best that have a wildlife connection were the tuly superb series for Budweiser beer, featuring Louie and Frank the chamaeleons and the frogs.... and the ferrets........magic ads..... though useless in that I never bought any beer!
 Heaps of them on You-tube... here's one to get you started:

Peter,
I have a feeling that it was a children's TV programme - does that that stir anyone's memories out there?

I have a distant memory of this too. Set me off searching the web and can only find this reference to
Jacquie and Hermine sounds like the programme you're thinking about.

 I don't think so, Brian....that series, while it had an episode titled "Belle, Sebastien and the horses"  was set in the mountains .......Pyrennean mountain dog (Belle), orphan (Sebastien) brought up by mountain guards etc......  :-\

Good grief.... I AM a mine of useless information  :-[
