In the story, a wild silver stallion colt (Thowra quickly grows to adulthood and replaces his father as the leader of a herd of horses. Before assuming leadership duties, however, Thowra must find and defeat the stallion responsible for killing his sire. The beautiful and intelligent horse is desired by a ruthless mountain man, who is unable to capture it on his own. In fact, when he buys a mare captured from the stallions herd, the horse rescues her from him. In revenge, he determines to kill or capture the stallion no matter what. Unable to capture such a primordially wild creature, he winds up killing it, and now the ghost of the silver brumby roams the mountains. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
