The Silver Brumby: Challenge and Escape

Description

"The green basin in the hills was filled with the last of the light as the two horses, the enormous grey and the lithe, swift creamy, met. Sunlight glanced off them - spears of light shooting from Thowra's tossing mane - as the two wheeled and danced round each other without placing a blow." Extract from 'The Silver Brumby' by Elyne Mitchell

Another illustration from the Silver Brumby. Here, Thowra full of pride and youthful confidence, rushes forwards to accept the mighty Brolga, king of the Cascade brumbies', challenge. The Brolga is a powerful stallion and desires the younger stallion's herd for himself but Thowra leads him away on a merry dance, relying on his swiftness of movement to keep him just out of reach while Thowra's herd retreats to a safer distance. But will Thowra's first clash with The Brolga be his last?
