Description
The Silver Brumby took me cantering into the worlds wilder places. Geraldine McCaughrean
A silver brumby is a rare and special creature, prized both by other horses and by men
A silver brumby is special, but he will be hunted by man and horse alike, and must be stronger than both.
Thowra, the magnificent silver stallion, becomes king of the brumbies. But he must defend his herd from the mighty horse, The Brolga, in the most savage of struggles.
That is not the only danger. Thowra needs all his speed and cunning to save his herd from capture by man. In a desperate chase through the mountains, it seems there is no longer anywhere for him to run to
