The Silver Brumby	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Elyne Mitchell's Silver Brumbynote brumby is an Australian term for mustang novel chronicles the life of Thowra, a wild foal whose father is killed by the vicious Brolga. In accordance with narrative tradition, Thowra eventually grows strong enough to form his own herd and defeat the Brolga...although not without gaining humans' attention. Further sequels followed Thowra's descendants and allies.The series had two adaptations- a cartoon series and a film- and was rereleased in omnibus format during 2012.

The Silver Brumby / int_25c7b33a	type	Cruel to Be Kind
The Silver Brumby / int_25c7b33a	comment	Cruel to Be Kind: Elyne takes an injured joey from the wild so she can tend to him, but as he heals she orders her daughter to keep him outside; if the joey doesn't get accustomed to the cold, he'll never survive an Australian winter. When they release him back into the bush, they also shoo him away, to make him develop a proper fear of humans (who might kill and eat him).

The Silver Brumby / int_319e4a2f	comment	Even Evil Has Standards: The Man, who is always after Thowra and his group. He may be hellbent on capturing them, but the horses note that the difference between him and the trappers they meet later on is that the Man would never dream of killing a brumby, and almost never uses his gun. In contrast, the trappers try to shoot and kill anything that moves solely for sport.

The Silver Brumby / int_3d649526	comment	Elemental Motifs: Thowra is associated with the wind. He was named the Aboriginal word for "wind" because he was Born During a Storm, and his mother believed he would have to run as fast as the wind to avoid being hunted for his rare cream color.

The Silver Brumby / int_63d861f8	comment	Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Calling him evil is a bit of a stretch, but the Brolga is still hot-tempered, arrogant and rude. Even so, he cares a great deal for his herd and his daughters, Boon Boon in particular. In fact, it's only when he's talking to her that he seems the most gentle.

The Silver Brumby / int_7febc23b	type	Establishing Character Moment
The Silver Brumby / int_7febc23b	comment	Establishing Character Moment: In the very first episode, naturally. Thowra tries to warn Arrow about the Man who's after them, but Arrow scoffs and ignores his warning. Immediately after, the Man shows up and Arrow takes off, abandoning two of his friends to the Man in the process. This accurately displays his cowardly nature and constant putting of himself above others. Thowra also gets one by saving a foal who'd fallen into a fast flowing river, despite the colt being one of the many offspring of the Brolga.

At which point the man, realizing his work has been All for Nothing, breaks down screaming in the mud.

Now here comes Thowra, who's half the Brolga's age and intent on taking back his father's throne. The Brolga is not pleased when Aranda points this out to him.

He jumps over a ledge when the Man corners him, leaving the latter to believe he'd jumped to his death. Since the fog was heavy, he could not see that Thowra landed safe and sound down below. Since then, the Man believes that any glimpses he catches of Thowra are just his ghost, and the horse intends to keep it that way.
