Name: Gurrurrk
Species: Brumby
Gender: Filly
Age: 2 yrs. old
Appearance: Gurrurrk is a fine piece of horseflesh. Her grand-sire was a stockhorse who was let loose after his master died. He was a horse of some potency, and Gurrurrk is a direct throwback to the ill-tempered grey.
She has sloping shoulder and very clean legs. Her back is short, the hip strong. Gurrurrk is built for speed with powerful hindquarters and a deep chest. While there is slight feathering on her fetlocks, the mare’s mane and tail are only very sparse.
The mare has an intelligent head with a large eye and kind expression. She was born coal-black, but is now a dark, iron-grey. The only white marking Gurrurrk has, is a diamond-shaped star on her forehead.
Personality: Gurrurrk is a pliable young mare. Her dam was a stupid mare, having lived her whole life on the flats surrounding Limestone Creek. She was a bully, often lording it over the rest of the herd.
Gurrurrk was jealously guarded by her dam from the other colts and fillies of the herd. The only companion she was allowed was her half-sister Gunuwarra. This has meant Gurrurrk is usually very nervous in the presence of large numbers of brumbies.
She could not understand why a stallion would take any interest in her. The filly hates being forced to take a dominant position, and draws a lot of strength from Gunuwarra instead.Gurrurrk is content to follow in her half-sister’s shadow, much as Gunuwarra tries to encourage otherwise.
