The Silver Brumby

Bel Bel

A very thoughtful cream Mare, mother of Thowra and good friend with Mirri, mother of Storm. Bel Bel walks with Yarraman's horse, and in some cases is entrusted to go ahead and guide. Bel Bel, like Thowra, is afraid of people, though in his case because he is always hunted for his unusual color. He shows his son Thowra a hunted way of life, passing all his wisdom to him, which in turn Thowra is relegated to his horse, Boon Boon, his daughter, Kunama, and his grandson, Baringa. He also tried to pass it on to his son, Lightning, and one of his favorite horses, Golden. Bel Bel is often described as a 'one wolf' and dies alone in the Ramshead Range, after one last pursuit. Bel Bel is the main mare of Yarraman's flock. She is depicted in The Silver Brumby's Daughter as an old cream horse with dark spots and majestic and wise eyes. This is a bit confusing, since there is never a dark spot mentioned. Thus, he will be the skin of a deer or dun. Thowra's coloring and descendants show that Bel Bel carries and passes dilute genes and dun to Thowra.

Thowra

Thowra is a cream-colored silver horse, the son of Yarraman's brown horse and Bel Bel's thick horse. Born in a storm, the object named him the Aboriginal word for 'wind' not only to wind outside when he was born, but because he was worried he had to be as fast as the wind to keep free. The majority of brumbies in southern Australia are black, bay, gray and brown, the appearance of horse creams causing a stir among wild flocks and humans alike. Thowra meets with open hostility from other horses, stallions in particular, while the mountain people quickly become obsessed with trying to catch him because of their scarcity. To survive, Thowra is forced to become more cunning than horses and humans.

Though she is mentioned in almost every Brumby Silver book, Thowra is just the main character in The Brumby Silver (and Silver Brumby Whirlwind), where she won the Golden for her mate, defeating a powerful horse The Brolga, and became the King of Brumbies Cascade. However, there is always an ever-present human threat, and by the end of the first novel, Thowra is forced to do a trick that seems to want to kill himself to remain free. There are some indications that it can change its shape into a white eagle and a whirlwind. In the rest of the series, he is the ancestor of almost all the protagonists, and often helps them (and others) in their respective journeys.

Coloring

Because the poetic license of the word 'silver' used to describe Thowra and his offspring it has misled some fans into believing that they are a pale gray or white, despite the fact they are described as 'cream' or 'cream' just as often. The reason why he is known as 'The Brumby Silver' is that during the winter Thowra's cream coat was described as much more pale, and took almost silver sheen. In combination with his silver mane and tail, Thowra's pale winter coat allows him to blend in with the snowy landscape in his native mountains.

Although there is often much debate about the true color of the horses starring in the Silver Brumby novel, Thowra is almost certainly a very pale palomino, or "Isabella." References to him and his relatives as "cream" and silver will help support this. Isabella palominos can be very light and comparable to the true "cream" or white-and-white color. Also, in Australian horseracing, "cream" is the word used to refer to the palomino of every mid-tone to lighter than this dilution. The last clue is that a chestnut Sire, combined with a palomino mother, is the perfect genetic recipe for palomino descent because palomino is the presence of cream genes on the basis of chestnut. Thowra will inherit the chestnut potential of her father and mother. And her mother will provide one creme gene she needs to share her own color. The fact that Yarraman is described as mild chestnut makes the foal "Isabella", (or pallor palomino) even more likely. It can be said that some of Thowra's own offspring with the Golden (most probably also palomino) may be cremello (creme double-dilute and even pale, with pink skin and blue eyes), but Thowra alone can only truly become palomino.

Evidence of other genealogies from the books indicates that Thowra and other "raisins", including the object Bel Bel, daughter of Kunama, son of Lightning, and grandson of Baringa also Palominos, not cremello, which is the next most likely dye. In 'The Silver Brumby', the special relationship between Thowra and Bel Bel's mother is due to their unusual coloring: the other Bel Bel boys by the Yarraman chocolate horse are all in chains.

In cartoons and films released in the mid-1990s, 'cream' is represented as Palominos, but the previous cover shows silver horses as a Gray Original Art Cover (white). Although Thowra's initial representation as a gray horse, there are several gray horses in the books, including the Thowra Boon Boon pair, and Cloud's gray horse and his partner, who are considered very different in color from 'cream'. The two horses that form the foundation for the herd of Baringa in "Silver Brumby Kingdom", Dawn and Moon, are portrayed as a very unusual color that is like the color of 'beige' distinguished from the gray horse, and described only as 'white'. These horses may have become what is now called 'cremello' or perhaps 'smoky cream', not 'white dominant', as both come from two gray-skinned parents (none of their parents can carry dominant white gene). Their foal with Baringa the 'creamy' is described as 'cream' (possibly 50% marriage between Palomino and cremello). Although there are other ways for pure white foal to appear, such as gray foal, and 'gray' in early life. Another possibility is maximum sabino or maximum tobiano.

Thowra is described as a siring of only three gentle foals as he is, this is an anonymous foal on Boon Boon's gray horse (which may have been gray for several years), and the original kati, Kunama and Colt Lightning from the Golden mare cream. Interestingly, Golden is described as a 'cream' like Thowra himself, but is much more clearly identified as Palomino by its name, suggesting that he might be a darker, more traditional 'gold' Palomino, though clearly can still be identified as being the same color as Thowra.

In 'Southern Silver Brumbies', Thowra pondered the fact that beyond these three foals, he had no silver foals. Instead, 'he has gotten a lot of creams with dark spots that are rarely free, because men always hunt them down, and he has a drink, and some very handsome dunike'. A 'cream with a dark spot' will be the skin of a deer, while 'Taffy' is an Australian term for what is sometimes called 'silver chocolate', or a brown coat with a pale silvery mane and tail. These children will inherit one copy of the cream dilution gene from their son, and their basic color from their mother, but the unusual color mentioned suggests that brwy 'silver' brings another color modification gene other than the cream dilution gene, potentially including the dapple gene silver (which produces taffy), genes or flaxen genes.

Silver Princess Brumby

Kunama

Princess Thowra and Golden, Kunama, is a free-spirited little boy, one of Thowra's first creams. As a two-year-old, he is shown to have a depth of intuition that Thowra, his father, does not have. This may be in part because horses, without the luxury of the great powers of horses and with the responsibility of the foal in the legs, must have even greater wisdom than their cattle horses if they remain free and wild. Kunama, who has been trained in bush crafts by Thowra and Boon Boon, is cautious and alert to men, but even this warning is not enough to keep him in Thowra's Hidden Valley when his attraction is captured by a spirited young stallion with an unusual spark of white on his pelvis, named Tambo, who is the son of horse racing chestnut and other racehorse 'Highland Lass.' In the wild excitement of running with another young horse, Kunama paid no attention to the warning of the wiser bush beast, and ran in the mountains much longer than it should, even back to Cascades with Tambo during the summer, even though it was' a time a silver filly should remain hidden or afraid of being caught. 'Finally, a boy and his father managed to capture a silver foal, with the intention of turning him into a cattle horse, but Kunama's desire for his freedom only succeeded in transforming him into what men call horses. Kunama was finally granted his freedom by the boy out of pity, and he walked back to the Hidden Valley, which was left there with Tambo.

Kunama is a full sister to Lighting and half sister to Jillamatong and Wanga, both of whom are creamy but with dark dots. He is Baringa's dam and an anonymous film chestnut.

Silver Brumbies from the Southern Brumby Silver Kingdom

Baringa

Niece to Kilat and son of Kunama, Baringa is a true silver horse. Strong, fast and smart, he's really Thowra's grandson. But when Thowra took him to the south he was only a year old. When he adds a beautiful Dawn to his flock, life becomes more dangerous. However, Baringa soon discovers a secret canyon where he can keep his flock, and he learns how to fight as well as his grandfather. Finally, he became the Silver Stallion of Quambat Flat.

The name Baringa means 'dawn' or 'light' in Aboriginal language. The story of Baringa is told in the books "Silver Brumbies of the South" and "Silver Brumby Kingdom." Baringa is also known to have the most beautiful herds ever seen in the south.

Baringa's Herd

• Dawn: filly white and silver
• Month: filly white and silver
• Yarolala: flaxen filly chestnut. Throwback to Yarraman. Daughter of Son Of Storm
• Kalina: 'Cream and silver'. Baringa's first son. The first fawn of Dawn. Born in the Great Flood
• Snow White horse unnamed by Moon
• A blue rooster, the White-Faced daughter
• A lazy white horse that belongs to a dark horse before, he thinks everything is a joke

Dawn

The first horse to join the herds of Baringa, Lightning and Baringa first saw her dancing in a silver fog circle at Quambat Flat. Although Lightning tried many times (failed) to win Dawn, he decided to run with a more compassionate Baringa. In the event of Silver Brumby Kingdom, Dawn separated from the herd by a terrible flood and Baringa went looking for him, finally finding him on a small island in the middle of the river. By this time he had given birth to the children of Baringa, whom they named Kalina. What is interesting is the fact that, although Baringa already has a herd, it is very implied in the Brumby Silver Kingdom that Dawn is the horse he loves most, even leaving his flock to search for it.. Dawn is the stepmother of the Moon, and both seem to be good friends.

Month

The second horse to join the herd of Baringa; called 'hidden'. She looks and has the same footprints with her step sister, Dawn. The moon initially follows The Ugly One. His first foal was a snowy white filly.

Pert White Mare

One of Thowra's horses was brought to Baringa. He was originally owned by a black horse, but when Thowra decided to steal it, he left voluntarily, but slowly. He is described as 'lazy' and 'round'. Often called "Pert" Thowra was embarrassed but enjoyed his stubbornness and often "fun".

Blue Roan Mare Untitled

One of Thowra's horses was brought to Baringa. When Thowra searches for Baringa, he is the only herd who tells him anything.

Kalina

Son of Dawn and Baringa, Kalina was born when Dawn was swept by a river to a small island, and it took Baringa days to find her. Although Baringa initially wanted to name Kalina after the flood, Dawn believed that their foal should not be called something horrible, and they named it Kalina - "for the beauty of the great snow". He also became Yuri's father while they were looking for Thowra.

Koora

Thowra's mare he left to run with Baringa. Has a silver pony with pale roar ears, Dilkara.

Lightning

Son of Thowra and Gold and brother of Kunama. Lightning is one of Thowra's three silver foals. Having been hidden in the Secret Valley for two years, he was brought to the south by Thowra, along with Baringa. Lightning is beautiful but arrogant and said by Thowra is almost as difficult as Gold to be trained in the path of the bushes. She is captivated by Dawn's beauty and continues to chase her for her flock. But it seems that Goonda is the horse he loves most. When the black horse comes looking for its stolen horses and becomes captivated by Goonda, Lightning learns one thing. He learns that even the beauty of Dawn that remembers does not mean anything to him compared to his feelings towards Goonda.

Lightning finally admits that he does not have to go after Baringa's horse when Baringa defeats a black horse when he can not.

Lightning

• Goonda: Red roan filly
• an anonymous donkey born from Goonda
• 2 unnamed gray horses
• 2 blue horses (Stolen from a black horse and won by Baringa who gave them a gift to Lightning)
• Yarolala: Chestnut flaxen filly (which later joins Baringa herds)
• 3 unnamed male horses (Stolen and taken back by the black ones)

Goonda

The first horse to join the Lightning herd when they were two years old. She is the daughter of Whiteface. Lightning wins after his first fight against a gray colt. His name means fire. She grows into a beautiful mare with Thowra surprised at how beautiful she is and the black horse stops in her place when she sees it. She admires Lightning and when she sees him fighting for him as if possessed by Thowra's spirits, knowing that she will be owned by Lightning forever.

Yarolala

A fille flaxen chestnut coloring is a setback to the Yarraman line. She is the daughter of Son of Storm. Yarolala heed Lightning's call with the intention of following Baringa but loses his footsteps as he melts into a bush before him or Lightning realizes he's gone. He stays with the Lightning herd but spends most of his time looking for Baringa which he considers to be 'the most beautiful horse on the mountain'.

Other books in series

Moon Filly (1968) Ilinga

One of the two protagonists of Moon Filly, Illinga is a very beautiful mare who is desperately trying to find Wurring (and vice versa) despite the efforts of a mean cruel iron stallion.

Coloring

The description of Yuri's fur color is strange because she is described as dark chestnut, and has a coat that "shines" at night by reflecting the moonlight. This reminds us of the metallic suits of Akhal-Teke, although this unusual metallic or "satin" sheen can occur on any type of horse. The champagne horses are also known for their unusual sheen, though the appearance of a rather new champagne color in brumbies seems highly unlikely. It is strongly suggested by Elyne Mitchell that "moon horses" are a special kind that is very subtle and beautiful beyond their own colors. Was he inspired by the rare Akhal-Teke? Or maybe by the Arabs? (known influence on wild brumbies along with their descendants of the Thoroughbreds.) Only the author himself would really know it.

Yuri's Sire Wurring can also carry this glowing metal shine as it is described as shining as the sun itself.

Another horse whose fur color is being debated is Ilinga. Although largely described as very dark brown, he later (as he matures) is described to have silver hair flowing in his hair. Those with better horse genetic knowledge argue that he is much more likely a black silver dapple, (black base with a silver dilution gene that dilutes the black pigment to the paler, the color is almost creamy at times) because he is described with ' the color of the moonlight across his back, 'and the silver strands in his hair. This would certainly bind better to explain the relationship with the moon because of the contrast of colors, and throughout the novel the character color has been significant. But since silver dapples are depicted in some brumby novels, it seems odd that the author will not describe it that way. Another possible mistake in this theory is that he does not seem to have been born black dapple silver; it changes color as he matures. Silver silver dapples are often born as buffalo or cream color and with their first cage showing their adult coat.

All this confusion over color could be an over-analysis of enthusiastic fan enthusiasts. Perhaps Elyne Mitchell himself, though obviously very knowledgeable about horses, took a creative license in describing the colors of his horses, without telling them how likely they were or possible genetics.
