Hawk' matured into a wonderful horse. He had inherited the flaming red coat, rocking chair movement, and gentle disposition of his sire, SOS, a pure Banker stallion.  His beauty, refinement, and balance were gift's from his dam. He had a sweet, trainable temperament and genuinely liked people. Hawk was everything we had wanted in a horse. We decided to leave him a stallion and to begin breeding Spanish Mustangs. Hawk produced many fine foals in a myriad of colors, including two stallions and a mare that we retained for our breeding program. He was trained to saddle and was an accomplished trail horse. He was Doug's personal riding horse until his death. Hawk's legacy continues to live on in our herd and that of other breeders throughout the Midwest.
