Description
A silver brumby is special - he will be hunted by man and horse alike, and must be stronger than both...
Thowra, the magnificent silver stallion, is king of the brumbies. He will defend his herd from the mighty horse, the Brolga, in the most savage of struggles. But the Brolga is not the only danger - Thowra needs all his speed and cunning to save the herd from capture by man. In a desperate chase through the mountains, it seems there is no longer anywhere for him to run to...Wild Echoes Ringing the characters of Socks, the black brumby with the four white legs, and Lightning, the cattledog - who first met in the thousandth Brumby - are reunited in this previously unpublished story.
