The Silver Brumby Characters

I'm a bit of a fan of the Silver brumby books, so I wanted to make some pictures of the characters in Spirit style. Of course, the author used very poetic language to describe the horse's coat colours, and very few face or leg markings are described, so some of this is artistic liscence; i.e. I've used my imagination. I've also taken some of the designs used in the animated series for these horses, particularly face and leg markings.

Thowra - Name meaning: "Wind" - (Yarraman x Bel Bel) The main character and the eponymous 'Silver Brumby'

Storm - (Yarraman x Mirri) Thowra's half brother, and his best friend throughout his life.

Yarraman - Name meaning: "horse" - (?x ?) Thowra, Storm, Star, Arrow and many other foal's sire. The former King of the Cascade Brumbies.

The Brolga - Name Meaning: a bird from the crane family - (? x ?). The grey sire of Boon Boon, and the stallion who defeated Yarraman .

Arrow - (Yarraman x Brownie). Brownie's mean spirited son, who bullied Thowra and Storm throughout his life.

Bel Bel - (? x ?) Thowra's wise mother

Mirri - Possible name meaning: dog? - (? x?) Bel bel's best friend, and Storm's mother.

Golden (? x?) Thowra's beloved mare, whom he stole from the humans.

Boon Boon (The Brolga x ?) The wisest mare in Thowra's herd, and his other favourite.

Brownie (? x?) (May also be called 'Darkie'). Arrow's mean spirited mother.

I hope to make more pictures of other characters in the books. I'd also love to know the meanings to all the aboriginal names of the characters. Obviously, the ones I've listed I already know, but the ones I haven't listed I can't find meanings for. If you know what they are, I'd love to hear them ^^
