NORTH DAKOTA BADLANDS HORSE

SATELLITE'S BAND

Satellite was a subordinate stallion running with the Double Band of Red Face and Singlefoot for many years, even acting as bodyguard for the older, smaller Singlefoot. Over the years he worked at stealing some of the mares, but often gave up the mares to maintain his place with the rest of the band. Finally in the spring of 2012, he took Lightning, Sweetheart, and Crow from Singlefoot. These mares are all black and white, illustrating his color preference. He can still be found near Red Face but he has never established the bond with Red Face that Singlefoot had. They usually range from Talkington to Lindbo Flats. Satellite is distinguished by the unique bulge on his chest. He briefly lost his band to Coal in the summer of 2017 but won them back on 8-9-17.

2019 has brought both sorrow and happiness.

​In late February, our beloved Sweetheart went missing. She was presumed deceased and her body found in May.

April brought three new births to the band. Lightning gave birth to a colt, Aimes (adopted in summer 2019) and Minnesota to filly, Almanac. Sadly, Crow also gave birth to a precious little colt, Corbin, a lethal white. 

2020 brought Little Bear ( filly) and sadly Patches who died shortly after birth.
