Silver Brumby, Silver Dingo
A ferocious storm cruelly separates the young colt, Tiarri, from his mother and dumps him beside an orphaned dingo pup. Tiarri saves the pups life from a marauding eagle, and from this battle springs a friendship that defies every law of nature. It is a bizarre friendship between three animals that ordinarily would never associate.
Together they roam the magnificent Snowy Mountains and survive repeated attacks from bush animals unsettled by their uncanny alliance. Binding them is the brotherhood of every silver brumby that ever walked the Cascades and the apparition of Thowra, the most wondrous silver stallion of them all . . .

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, is 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 his herd to run . . .
