Anyone recall a '70s film called something like, "Aspinol & the Blue Velvet Blanket" about a girl & her horse?

Question

Does anybody know the title of an old (mid-1970s) Disney-style family-type movie called something like “Aspinol [or “Aspinoll” or “Aspinal” or “Aspinall”; I am unsure of the spelling] and the Blue Velvet Blanket”, about a young girl and her racehorse? The horse was named after some weird tablet-form medicine that caused dramatic reactions inside of a transparent-walled advertising robot that would “take” the pills one-by-one as someone placed them in its “hand”. I kind of liked the movie, so I wondered if it’s out on video.

The Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit (1968) 

Frederick Bolton has to solve two problems. First, his boss has instructed him to come up with a reasonable campaign to promote a new product, a stomach pill named "Aspercel" - by tomorrow. The second problem is Fred's daugther, Helen. She is absolutely fond of horses, takes riding classes and has already had decent success in some competitions. Her biggest wish is to own a horse herself, a dream her father cannot afford at all. Now Fred tries to solve both problems at once by simply combining them: A horse named "Aspercel", ridden by his daugther should bring the name of the pill into the papers and make Helen happy, too. But there's still one more obstacle: Helen and Aspercel of course have to win a few prices to make this idea work.
