Even as a young child this music touched my core and moved me to tears. Try as I might, I cannot rationalise my reaction to this piece, as for me, I describe it as an uplifting, energising experience. Yet still, raw emotion is immediately there from the opening note, as it always has been. Momentarily, I am lost to the journey; I am transported to another place; I am anticipating the next crescendo; I feel a genuine sense of comfort, warmth and complete security. Yes, articulated now through adult vocabulary, but if I’d had the words as a child to express my reaction to this music, they would have been the same. A powerful masterpiece.

One of the greatest theme tunes EVER!

[@navsingh5383]

I cannot believe how fast time has flown by this was my favourite theme song

[@petehannity2956]

So many of the UK produced programmes have tremendous theme music.

[@davidclelland6065]

I can only reflect what most others say, it was sunday afternoon and early morning summer holidays nostalgia.

[@paulbrown7357]

I remember 1971 and the coal strikes ,no electricity for four of the days of the week,the snow for three months and reading by candlelight. All that seems easier than life today.

[@Brian-zl8qj]

We British know how to do decent music!!

[@olivcom9739]

Quel bonheur de retrouver en dvd cette magnifique série symbole de la belle époque. Tout est parfait, le générique, les acteurs dans la totalité et les histoires. Contrairement à aujourd'hui, il y avait de l'humain dans la vie de tous les jours.

This theme just got played on some TV advert right now and my ears pricked up. The banging of the drums just makes your heart beat that bit faster. Childhood memories x

[@deansteele8865]

"what's this lynn?" "the theme tune from black beauty" "it's BRILLIANT!"

[@kimp7160]

I think I remember this show. I only ever watched it at my grandparents' house and it would have been reruns by that time (early 80s). This and The Black Stallion were some of my favourite shows to watch there. I went on to read the books and they were the favourites of my childhood.

so many memories off this...watching on a sunday tea time..whole family glued to the telly

[@shaunloveland6222]

This takes me back to my childhood. I’m now 54, but just hearing this tune transports me back to the 70s. It feels like a much simpler time back then. Love it!

[@micheled.ives-davess2511]

This is just stunning music. I loved this programme when i was a child,it gave me my love of horses along with Follyfoot. I was up near Stockers Farm Rickmondsworth where it was filmed the other day, good memories.

I was born and bred where they filmed it.

[@davidmorton879]

Michele D. IVES-DAVESS I lived about 2 miles from stockers farm for 28 years. I always remember when it came on the music use to make me feel sad for some unknown reason. It was the same with bright eyes from Watership down.

[@KATIUSHKACHILE]

This theme and the beautiful stallion took me back to my childhood watching tv series "Black Beauty". I love horses too much. 🐎🐎🏇🏇Greetings from Chile.❤👏👏

[@kareninight8588]

tears streaming down my face my childhood all over again

[@rosechristy4942]

Just beautiful watching black beauty gallop through the fields

[@CGreen-hh6qk]

Not ashamed to admit this gives me goosebumps on top of me goosebumps

[@markchapman2933]

TV programmes with horses in them were some of my favourites as a kid. White Horses, Champion The Wonder Horse and Black Beauty. All with brilliant title music but particularly Black Beauty. For me it was just an innocent beginning. A love for studying horses grew to such an extent - believe it or not - made me into a gambler! Thanks Black Beauty.

[@Carol-sx6rg]

this song and film still brings me to tears ! ... my 7 year old daughter saw the serie last week, she found it a bit exiting with the bad guys who try to steal Beauty ; -) but always a good end... love you sweet Beauty , still in my hart xxx ( splashing true the water beautyful !) btw we are still making beautyful memories here in 2019 ... times are still as wonderful as in my childhood. Moving forward in time , galopping like this Black Beauty did , all is well !

[@LordEriolTolkien]

In my 50's and I still occasionally wander round humming this tune

[@jenpearson3872]

Loved this programme. The tune takes me right back to my childhood....total escapism.

[@terencemeikle534]

Those emphatic beats on the kettle drum, the free running of that magnificent horse, and the stirring melody: it doesn't get any better than this as far as intros go. So civilised and inspiring. Black Beauty played an integral part in the opening up of my childhood intelligence and ethical world view. A beautiful programme. ❤

[@ackers72]

Quite possibly one of the most beautiful rousing emotion tingling theme tunes ever
