Magnum was honored once again by the Appaloosa Journal as one of the "Greatest Stallions of 2018".

 

Straws Mighty Magnum is versatility. Magnum has earned many prestigious awards and recognition for his excellence in a variety of events - from the ApHC, NBHA and Open show circuits. On top of his successful show career, Magnum was also a favorite for ranch work and leisurely trail rides. His athleticism and versatility paired with his quiet, easy going personality make him a favorite with all who meet him...and his good looks are always turning heads.
 
Magnum comes by his abilities honestly. His sire, Straw Sham is a multiple Medallion producing sire, World & National Reserve & Top Ten winners (USA & Canada), ROM producing sire and his foals have earned many ApHC points. Not to mention he is by the great Roman's Straw Man. Magnum's dam, Popeye's Pride is no slouch herself and has proven herself in the breeding shed. With only 3 foals, they have earned over 300 ApHC & ACAAP points, Medallions, Top Tens at the Worlds/Nationals, and numerous Year-End Awards.  Click here for pedigree details.
 
Magnum's success has spread past the show ring and in to the breeding shed. Magnum's foals are showing the same athlectic ability and excellent dispositions while also being stamped with exceptional conformation, pleasing profiles, and the will to work that makes their sire the excellent horse that he is. His foals are stealing the spotlight in ApHC, 4-H and Open show rings around the United States - and soon to be World-wide! They are proving to be excellent Youth & Non-Pro mounts with their quiet, trainable disposistions, while still being competitive in the Open classes.  To date the Magnum Force has earned over 600 points and counting on the ApHC Circuit.  View his get's accomplishments below and keep up to date on their accomplishments on our Show Ring page!

 

For those interested in color genetics, Magnum is genetically tested heterozygous for Champagne, ee for Red and Aa for Agouti.

Magnum sustained a riding career ending injury in 2013.  Also with the demands of our growing cattle herd and calving falling in the midst of the busiest time of breeding season, we have drastically cut back on our breeding.  We will offer a limited number of breedings and plan to raise of a few of our own, yet, in the next few years.  Thank you to all of you for your support over the years - and we will continue to cheer for the Magnum Force!
