Fun Friday Part 14
Hello everyone! I decided to put a little twist on today’s ‘Fun Friday’ and feature a single band from various times over the last few months. I have also added a few special throwback photos to when some of them were younger. Today’s featured band is Maverick’s band. For those who are new to the page and may not be familiar with how this band came to be, I will give you a brief history on what happened.
In April of 2019, Maverick stole mares Copper Penny, Paisley, Patches, and colt Poseidon from Band Stallion Brutus. He continued to hold Copper Penny and Poseidon while he and Brutus were doing a back and forth with Mares Paisley and Patches but ended up taking them back towards the end of April. During the summer, Brutus and Maverick continued to fight over mares until July when Brutus lost his entire band to Maverick. Maverick managed to hold onto the band, however, he temporarily lost Skipper to Brutus in September. While with Brutus, Skipper gave birth to their colt Arey. A few weeks later, Maverick would take Skipper and her colt from Brutus and continues to hold them today.
This year, Mare Aurora gave birth to her and Maverick’s first foal, Bluegrass. Mares Patches and Copper Penny also gave birth to foals who were presumed to be by Maverick but unfortunately, they did not survive. I will write under each photo below to share a little more information on the band. Enjoy and have a great weekend!
This was the first time I saw Maverick and his sire, Satellite back in 2015. Maverick was a yearling attempting to woo fellow yearling Opal from Red Face’s band.
