Sunday Hawk. The Morgan Horse Magazine. Jan. 1984
Upper from TMH
Lower from the AllBreed site
He was all Brunk except for the Gov't stallion, Haven. He was bred by Ernest McElhinney of Morning Sun, Iowa, who bred some good Morgans of mostly Brunk stock.
From the All Breed site--"Sunday was about 15 hands with one of the prettiest trots I have ever seen. He had a huge eye, but was kind of straight headed." That head likely came from his Illawana ancestor. The Illawana prefix Morgans sometimes had a longer and straighter head.
Sunday Hawk sired 44 registered get. One son was Arkomia Barrington who sired some nice ones. Another son was AOM Sunday's Magic who sired for Kim Viker's GR prefix, as well as SFFM prefix. Other of Sunday Hawk's get bred on to one extent or another.

Nobelle. &. Noble Command. The Morgan Horse Magazine, Jan 1984
He certainly had an inbred pedigree.
Sired 126 registered get and has had a considerable impact on today's Morgans.
So, what do you do when you have one as inbred as Noble Command? You find a mare who is also highly inbred to the same horses that are behind the stallion and breed them to each other to get a pedigree that is super inbred.
Nobelle had 15 foals. Amongst others that bred on, she was dam of Futurity French Command.
