Darkhawk is a true living legend in Michigan. He has been siring Champion foals for over two decades and those foals have in turn been producing Champions generation after generation. His siring ability is proven in so many different disciplines, from showring superstar to giving safe rides for the therapeutic riding program. These foals have done it all and are positive proof that Darkhawk is an established institution.

Possessing rich Brunk and Government breeding, about as up-close as you can find, he is a current link to the past. His sire was 100% Funquest, a line known for sound temperament, versatility and outstanding breed character. Hylee's Firefly, his dam, brings the mystique of the olde world even closer. This combination resulted in a true ebony color, flawless smooth topline with high tail attachment, gorgeous head featuring a large eye and small ear and breath taking movement. These traits have been passed onto his get, time after time. Although, "Hawk" himself is no physical giant, standing a stout 14.3, he has consistently sired get well over 15.0 hands, some nearly 16.0 hands. Even at 28 years of age, he charms visitors with his vigor and beauty.

As a yearling Darkhawk was shown extensively in-hand with great success, always the standout with his "blue-black" color and exotic looks. Immediately following his yearling year he was no longer shown so he could be used heavily as a breeding stallion by Sunup Acres, where his many sons and daughters were shown and enjoyed for two decades.. He came out of retirement in 2004, when he left Sunup Acres (his home of 23 years) and came to Muir’s Morgans. Here he was quickly put to use in the breeding shed.
