Sire of 51 registered get.
Many of his get bred on to one extent or another but I am doubtful that any line comes down to today.

He had a lovely pedigree of Brunk sire and a Gov't and Lippitt dam.
He sired many get, mostly for Whippoorwill Morgans.
A pure Brunk pedigree, bred by Stuart Hazard.
He sired many, some for Whippoorwill, many for Funquest, and also others.

Breezilee The Morgan Horse Magazine, March 1971
Bred by Doris Ryan, this mare was mostly Western Working Family bred. Her sire, Mr Breezy Cobra, was out of a mare bred by the L U Sheep Co of WY. Her dam, Rachel Lee, was bred by the Chilocco Ag. School of Oklahoma. The dam of Rachel Lee. Racher, was bred by the noted Texas breeder, W P Thornhill, using the Roland Hill bred Silver Ranger as sire, and a mare, Dan's Bess who went to Sellman breeding and some old Kansas breeding. There is plenty of Brunk breeding behind Breezilee and a lot of it comes down through western breeders.
Breezilee had two foals who bred on to some extent--Flintalee and Intrepid Sir Breeze.
