The majestic black stallion that leads the herd of wild brumbies in The Man from Snowy River (1982).
In the film it is revealed that the stallion was the first foal of the prize-winning 'old Regret' and had been set free by Matilda, the mother of Jessica (Sigrid Thornton) and wife of Harrison (Kirk Douglas).
