Information About

Follyfoot




The series, which was filmed on the Harewood family estate, was set at a home of rest for horses, and often had challenging things to say about the treatment of horses and animals generally in British society. The ethos of Follyfoot was to give another chance to both horses and people who had been rejected by the rest of society. The series' theme song, "The Lightning Tree", written by Stephen Francis and sung by The Settlers, is well-remembered.

The series was also popular in Australia and Germany . The main actors were Gillian Blake as Dora, Steve Hodson as Steve, Christian Rodska as Ron Stryker, Desmond Llewelyn as the Colonel and Arthur English as Slugger.
