NORTH DAKOTA BADLANDS HORSE

Marty's BAND

Marty, is a 2014 Stallion out of Lightning and Satellite. He was named in the year of country singers, and was mistaken for a filly and named after Martina McBride, later when the techs realized their error, he was renamed Marty. 

After much persistence, Marty successfully stole several of Brutus's mares in April 2019, Iris, and her colt, Poseidon, Paisley and Maine. 

By July, Marty succeeded in taking the rest of Brutus band, Aurora, Cassie, Dawn's Early Light, Ferra and Maddie, leaving the old warrior lame in the process. However, in September he lost a pregnant Ferra back to Brutus but soon got her back, making Brutus a seemingly confirmed bachelor. 

2020 brought sadness with both Iris and first time mama, Maine losing their foals. While Aurora brought sweet Bluegrass (filly) into the band. Marty was tested and briefly lost some of his mares, until he was successful in getting them back from Vamoose and other bachelors, hopefully he is a stronger, more observant band stallion. 


In the late winter of 2021, we saw Trooper gain mare Maddie and then after much battling gain the rest of the band from Marty. 

In April of 2021, Marty was successful in stealing back Ferra, Iris, Maine, and Arey, but then lost them all to Tropper. 

May 6th Maine joyfully gave birth to her first viable filly, little Harper. Mama Maine wisely took her wee filly, Harper and lived alone until be taken back by Brutus. 

After months of battling and scars to prove it, Marty took his entire band back (minus Maine and her filly Harper) in late July. 

Harper and her mama, Maine, rejoined the band in the fall of 2021, only to leave again in January 2022, again returning in the summer of 2023.

This band most often is found in the area of Lindbo Flats.
