About
When I was around 7 or 8 years old I came across the Silver Brumby books by Elyne Mitchell for the first time. I read the first (The Silver Brumby) and the second (Silver Brumby's Daughter) book in a matter of days. I was hooked. It wasn't long before I found the third (Silver Brumbies of the South) and the fourth (Silver Brumby Kingdom) book at my local library and read them too. I loved them as well. Actually my absolute favourite book was Silver Brumbies of The South and Baringa was my absolute favourite Silver Brumby. Unfortunately I never read the last books of the series as my library never seemed to have them in when I was there. That didn't stop me from re-reading the first four books, so many times that I've lost count actually ;)
Years went by but I've never forgotten the books and the fact that I never got to read the last books in the series. The last part bothered me a bit and a while a go I started my search to buy the books so that I can read them again and one day, perhaps, pass them on to my children.
I found the last two books without much trouble but I'm still trying to locate the first four, and the book Moon Filly since it's kind of connected to the Silver Brumby books.
The first and second book was actually found, after some intense googling, at a low price and in excellent condition! The third and fourth book was found shortly after and I have re-read them and collected information about the character's look and personality.
The idea of making models of the characters mostly started as a small idea of making only my favourites but then bloomed into a full blown plan to make most of the characters and some dioramas for them. As I am a modelhorse collector and aspiring modelhorse painter and customizer I found the opportunity to make the Silver Brumby characters an inspiring way to improve my skills. This is not any kind of rush project, it will take time and it will move forward slowly but I can't wait to see my own herd of Silver Brumbies on my shelf!
