Yarraman is the previous King of the Cascade Brumbies and Thowra's father. He is also the father of Storm and Arrow, a chestnut stallion, half-brothers of Thowra.

Life[]

He was described as a noble, brave and legendary horse by many who saw and heard of him. Creatures of the High Country, as well as brumbies in the South, all know about him and his legend. Judging by that, it can be stated that Yarraman was a well-liked leader, spreading peace across his kingdom.

He protected his mares, caring for each and one of them. Bel Bel, Mirri and Brownie were all members of his herd before his death. When Brolga attacked for the first time, he chased Thowra, Storm and their mothers from his territory with a part of his own herd. Yarraman didn't hesitate when his rival came to his land. Yarraman protected both of his sons, as well as his whole herd, banishing the Brolga. Even though he suffered injuries, Yarraman was strong, wise and experienced in combat, leaving the young and not yet mature grey stallion at the disadvantage. As Bel Bel and Thowra came to safety, the mares made their foals watch and learn from his example, because every stallion in the High Country eventually faces rivals, fighting for mares, pastures and territory.

As strong as he was, Yarraman never considered his rivals worth killing. In his encounter with Brolga he merely taught him a lesson, punishing him enough that the younger stallion would think twice before challenging the chestnut stallion again.

Death[]

Yarraman met his demise from Brolga, a young and arrogant horse, who was young at the time of his reign. As stated, Yarraman was twice Brolga's age, which ultimately led to him loosing in the battle against younger stallion. The battle between them was described in detail in the books, ending in Brolga achieving a death grip on Yarraman. Although the older stallion fought, he soon became exhausted and Brolga finished him. Thowra mentions that Brolga was the one who defeated and killed his father. Before his death he was the head of a herd that was taken by Brolga, and after that re-taken by his son, The Silver Brumby, passing the title of the King of The Cascade Brumbies from father to son.

After his demise[]

Chestnut stallion appeared after his death as a spirit, guiding his son, Thowra, when he wasn't sure about facing his father's killer, Brolga, in a fair fight for the crown and the title of the King. He showed his experience and wisdom, helping Thowra to realise his advantages against the now old grey stallion. Yarraman was one of the reasons why Thowra defeated Brolga and reclaimed his father's title to the rightful heir.
