Storm Child

Composed and arranged by Tassos Ioannides

Lyrics by John Tatoulis

Performed by Joe Creighton

"In the darkness of the night

in the fury of the storm

with the silver mark of freedom

a spirit was born

Thowra, they named him Thowra

Like the wind, like the wind that is free

Thowra, they named him Thowra,

To be king of the bush his destiny

In the secret mountain vales

through the mist and ancient trees

runs the ghost-like horse so proudly,

silent as the breeze

Thowra, they named him Thowra

he's the son of the wind, strong and free

Thowra, they named him Thowra

And the king,  yes the king he will be

Age: 7 years old

Height: 169 cm

Color: bay splash white

Genotype: Ee/AA/nSpl

Caught: januari 2014

History: This mare roamed around in one of the higher areas in the Carpendale Valley. She was with a herd of around 8 horses and all have been caught and brought to the Carpendaler association. 

Personality: "We have already figured out in the few weeks she is here with us that she is a very caring horse. She will make sure to not squish you under her big butt when you crash during one of the jumps she loves to make. She is very caring over her foal, but makes sure that the little thing takes care of herself too, instead of hiding behind mommies leg all the time. One of the staff members have called her Ellie, after one of her old horses which she looks like very much. Their characteristics look a lot like each other too.

Make sure to treat this mare with a lot of respect, otherwise she will make sure you will go head first in the first pile of mud that will come by. She is very intelligent and you will never win any battle, strength or mind, you will start on her."

Training: This mare knows basic training and has been learned the basics of riding. She seems to be talented for Show Jumping.

Color: bay roan pintaloosa

Genotype: Ee/Aa/nTo/nLp

Pedigree: Import 013 x starter

Caught: januari 2014

History: This filly roamed around in one of the higher areas in the Carpendaler Valley together with her mommy and her herd. She was caught together with that herd and all have been brought to the Carpendaler association. 

Personality: "This big fella grows faster than he can run. He is very big for his age and we think he will grow out to be a very big stallion. Thanks to his size he is not very fast and also very clumsy, but we think this will change during his aging progress. We have named him Thor for his big, clumsy size and his will to be continuously in everyones attention. He absolutely loves attention and will do everything to get it. Even if it means it is bad attention. He will use his size in his advantage, which sometimes makes him get into trouble since we can't always hold him back with his size and weight."

Story-
The mare looked over the horizon, the calls of her small herd still echoing in her mind. She tensed at the rolling rumble of thunder. The colt beside her shifted nervously. The mare's head tilted down to groom the colt as the first drops of rain began to fall on their coats. The colt reached up and groomed her neck, his body tense under the thin layer of rain coating his shivering body. The mare's ears stayed pointed towards the horizon, worrying and waiting for her herd to return. The desperate neighs of the colt's father echoing in her head before he and the rest of her herd disappeared.

The sound on hooves thundered around them. The mare straightened up, startled. It was not her herd. It was the hunters. The panting horses had riders firmly seated on their back. The usually calm and quite mare reared up, desperate to block them from her son...

I'm so happy with this! Spent way longer then usual on the background and I'm really happy with it overall
