Straws Mighty Magnum

STRAWS MIGHTY MAGNUM is the epitome of an all-around horse. He has proven himself in the ApHC, NBHA and Open Show Rings - competing and winning in events from in-hand to games. Check out his show record below - it speaks for itself! Not only is "MAGNUM" loaded with athletic ability and versatility, but correct conformation and a quiet, easy-going personality that makes him a favorite to everyone that meets him. STRAWS MIGHTY MAGNUM is the perfect combination of ability, brains and beauty.

It's no wonder that MAGNUM has done so well. He comes by his talent and good looks honestly. Just check it out below! With lines tracing to Romans Straw Man, Skipper W, Wapiti and Mighty Bright you can't go wrong! His sire, Straw Sham, is an own son of Romans Straw Man and has produced some top foals that have succeeded in both the United States and Canada. His get have earned well over 1000 ApHC points in Open, Non-Pro and Youth events, 11 ROMs and counting, Medallions, Club Champions & Superior Events! Now, Magnum's dam, Popeyes Pride is no slouch. While she never made it to the ApHC show ring, she has proven herself in the breeding shed. Her foals have earned multiple ROMs ApHC points, and Open Show wins - along with Magnum's impressive record!

Could things get any better? Of course! With his first foals just starting to hit Show Arenas, they are already bringing home ribbons and money! They show "MAGNUM'S" athletic ability and are all stamped with exceptional conformation, pretty heads, big hips and excellent dispositions. There are currently only a handful of MAGNUM BABIES out there making their mark, but they are doing a heck of a job! They are stealing the spotlight in ApHC, Open and 4-H arenas in events from in-hand to under saddle - and turning heads as they go! His foals have earned money in futurities, Year-End Top Ten honors in the Nation, and World Championship Qualifiers. They are proving to be excellent Non-Pro and Youth mounts with the ability to win Open events, too. The proof is already here - and we are just getting started! "MAGNUM'S" foals are Breeder's Trust and Magnum Gold Incentive Fund eligible along with a few select open futurities.
