Anyone remember this from the 70s?
It was about a girl whose parents went away and she decided to bring her horse to live in the house. The two main things I remember are that the horse was called Orbit and there was a scene where he had been stolen and the girl had found him on a barge and had to get on his back and jump him from the deck of the barge onto the canal bank.
Reason I'm asking is that my friend bought me a huge cuddly horse for my birthday (She asked me what I wanted and as my real pony has just died ()I said "a new horse" so that's what I got!). I decided to name him Orbit but got loads of blank looks from assembled friends and family as it seems I'm the only one who remembers the programme.
One thing is driving me mad. I know that the horse they used in the series was a stallion standing at stud at the time (used to be advertised in horsey magazines)but I can't remember his name.
You'll probably all think I'm mad now! In my defence I've been out for my birthday and drunk rather more wine than I'm used to. Great evening though
