Actually, the white horse is heroin. The song goes:
"If you wanne ride - don't ride the white horse,
  ride the white pony."  The white pony is cocaine.
Very 80's. Don't take heroin - use coke.
The funny thing is that White Horse was almost a
bigger hit in the US than it was back here in Denmark !
Laid Back are still livin' large on royalties and sample
fees from White Horse and Sunshine Reggae. I think
the first record to use the bassline from White Horse
was 'The Fuck Shop' by 2 Live Crew back in '89.
Since then, a million people have used it, including
our very own DJ Godfather.
