"The best way to describe Fernando and Magnum is that they are soul mates! It is impossible to think of one without thinking of the other.

They often say people are like their animals, and this is the case with Fernando and Magnum. Each is exceptionally gifted and a true pleasure to be around. They each give so much to the Arabian horse community—we would all be so lost without their influence!”

He remembers their early time together clearly. “My friendship with Fernando started right away because we share a mutual interest in art. When we visited him at his apartment in Buenos Aires, I realized he had some incredible Latin American art, some really esoteric pieces that probably a lot of people wouldn’t know about, but I knew all of the artists he was collecting. We formed a fast friendship based on our appreciation of art and Arabian horses, which we both see as art.”

“He was extremely kind, very much a gentleman, and very enthusiastic about the Arabian horse,” David Boggs recalls, adding that Fernando’s affinity for *Padron and the *Padron bloodlines gave them common ground immediately. “He really wanted to learn more about bloodlines and pedigrees; he loved the idea of having a breeding program in Argentina. We enjoyed each other’s company at the Brazilian Nationals, and discussed looking for some top quality broodmares. It was a great time for our paths to cross, because I knew where there were some great horses available. Together we put together a phenomenal collection.”

Meanwhile, on May 2, 1995, just outside Ocala, Fla., a chestnut colt by Padrons Psyche was born to the mare A Fancy Miracle, by *Sasaki. Bred by Jay and Lisa Havice, the youngster who would be Magnum Psyche showed class from the beginning. By May 1996, he had already changed hands three times—the third being to Midwest clients John and Tracey Benoit.

David remembers standing on the rail at Region 12. “I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw Magnum,” he says. “I attached myself to the handler as he went back to the stalls, and fortunately I was in the front of a very long line of people that wanted to purchase the colt.

We were able to do the negotiations and put it together within the day.”

Five months later, in Louisville, Ky., Magnum Psyche notched his first national title, claiming the U.S. National Championship in the Breeders Sweepstakes Yearling Colts class.

Scottsdale 1997 marked Magnum Psyche’s first connection with the Santibanes family, but it was not with Fernando. A teenaged Joaquin de Santibanes represented Haras Mayed that year, more or less “looked after” by Boggs and the Midwest staff. Joaquin was more than a kid on vacation, however; for a couple of years, he had been shoulder-to-shoulder with his father on the search for the right stallion to head their fledgling program.

Everything could have changed at this pivotal time. Fernando de um m Santibanes could have taken Magnum home to Argentina to grow into thee herd sire he envisioned for Haras Mayed. But he didn’t. Coming 3, Magnum was poised to make his name—and for a variety of reasons, Fernando was ready to help him.

The year 1998 put Magnum Psyche on the map, as he embarked on an h ambitious schedule, roaring through six shows. By the end of the year, h hee had annexed stallion championshipss at the Buckeye, Region 15, the Canadian Nationals (unanimous), and the U.S. Nationals, with David on the lead.

many Magnum offspring through the years. “Fernando and David gave the opportunity to Magnum to show who he is—the great mares for him to breed, a great program behind him in advertising and promotion, and following the offspring so that they are shown and promoted the right way. A stallion needs to have a good owner; you need to understand how important all that support is.”

is unparalleled not only as a show horse, but as a sire.”—Lucky Lurken

That Magnum Psyche won his second title as U.S. National Champion Stallion was almost anticlimactic; his son Jaayd finished reserve to him, Maggdalina was named U.S. National Champion Junior Mare, Magnum Chall HVP was U.S. National Champion Junior Stallion, and the Magnum son Maximuss was U.S. National Champion Futurity Colt. In Half-Arabians, Rohara American Idol added the title of U.S. National Breeders Sweepstakes Yearling Colt. There was no question: the Magnums had arrived.

In the years since, the awards have kept coming. Magnum Psyche is perennially the leading halter sire at Scottsdale, the U.S. and Canadian Nationals, and sometimes overall leading sire.

Even as his career in the United States was just gathering steam, Magnum initiated a presence in South America. In 1999, he went home with Fernando de Santibanes, and has spent part of the year— summer in the southern hemisphere—at Haras Mayed ever since. For Fernando, those are the sweetest times, the times he has only to walk outside to see his stallion.

“Fernando has a love for this horse, and the horse for him,” David says. “They go for walks when they are at the Scottsdale farm

together. He’s not a trainer, so Magnum doesn’t have to do anything or be anything but himself with him. He’s very proud of Magnum; he respects Magnum and he honors Magnum. I think that he wants Magnum to be all that is possible, and this is why he allows the movement of the horse so many times when his personal level absolutely wouldn’t need that. If he could wear his pajamas out and feed carrots to his horse every morning, he’d live happily ever after. But he knows it’s the best for Magnum and it’s the best for the Magnum children and their future and the market of the Arabian horse.”

“When the horse is in Buenos Aires, if you visit Fernando, you see how he loves the horse,” Johnny Downing agrees. “He goes in his stall and gives him big bear hugs, and Magnum nuzzles him. There is really a personal involvement with the horse; this is not an Lyndsey Boggs

absentee owner. I think that’s really a testament to Fernando, because he loves them as animals and sees them really and truly as art. It was a perfect fit to have Magnum go to Fernando.”

“Fernando is a businessman and he’s been very successful all his life,” observes Lady Georgina Pelham, of Haras La Catalina in Argentina. She has been a friend of the Santibanes family since 1991, when they were new in the industry. “But money isn’t the only thing in life; it’s very important, and the good you can do with it is very important, but you have to have some passion in your life. Your heart has to be touched, apart from your family. A man like Fernando needs that outlet—having something that really makes him passionate. He can go and watch Magnum in the pasture, and be happy looking at him and realize he is happy.”

"We have been richly blessed by Magnum and the Santibanes family. It is an awesome privilege to share our lives with this great horse, who despite his magnificence, is kind and gentle beyond measure. Magnum is always a gentleman. We can even put our four year old son, Jake on his back knowing he will be safe.

We deeply and profoundly appreciate the Santibanes family. We are grateful with all of our hearts for the trust they have placed in David—who has been Magnum's partner in destiny's dance ... and the development of a dynasty." —Terry Anne Boggs

Magnum Chall HVP wasn’t at Midwest, Fernando came to see him. Fernando is a quiet man, but he’s very intelligent, and I’ve never met anybody who is behind the horses the way he is.”

Johnny Downing tells a story that illustrates the strength of Fernando’s attachment to Magnum Psyche. “Maybe a year or two after Fernando purchased him, there was a buyer for Magnum,” he says. “They were offering a lot of money. It would have been a lot of money in commission for David and for me, but even we agreed that Fernando shouldn’t sell the horse. I think all of us knew then that Magnum was really an incredible horse, and it was such a perfect fit for Fernando to have him.”

With his dual citizenship, Magnum has had a significant impact not only in the United States and Canada, but also the South American Arabian scene. His foals are present for the ribbons routinely at the national championship shows, and populate the herds of the leading breeders. And as the years have gone by, his sons and daughters have extended his influence to Europe and the Middle East as well.

“He’s the kind of horse who changes the Arabian business in the whole world,” Mario Zerlotti affirms. “To me, he’s an icon for the industry—he and the stallions he has produced. If you look over the world in every country, there is a son that is a major stallion, like Magnum Chall HVP, JJ Senor Magnum, WH Justice, JJ Magnum Gold, Justify, and others. He has sons producing great stallions in South America, the Middle East and Europe. It’s not just what he is producing, but what his offspring are producing now too.”

As he ages, Magnum is still going strong. In 2009, in another nearly unprecedented move, he returned to competition at Scottsdale. “It was really the last jewel in his crown,” David Boggs explains. “He had never shown at Scottsdale. He resides in Scottsdale half of the year; between going to Argentina and flying back to Scottsdale, he would have been there for the presentation and breeding, so there wasn’t a lot of stress on the horse.”

At the age of 14, Magnum Psyche was named Supreme Champion of Scottsdale. “He’s as perfect now as he ever was as a yearling or a 2-year-old,” says David. “He could show whenever he wanted. At Scottsdale, the response from people was overwhelming.”

“I saw him the first time at David’s when he was a yearling in the stall, and he was beautiful that day,” Lucky Lurken remembers.

“The last day I saw him was at Scottsdale when David showed him, and he was the best I’ve ever seen him—he took my breath

"I have loved Magnum since the first moment I laid eyes on him, and I have loved Fernando and Joaquin de Santibanes since the day I met them. All the words I've had the honor of writing in regard to Magnum and his friends fall short. I simply can't find enough superlatives to describe the unique perfection that IS Magnum—nor can I express the beauty of spirit possessed by his people, the father and son who love him. Thank you Fernando, thank you Joaquin, thank you David. It has been a great blessing and a great joy to journey beside the "Family Magnum" along destiny's road."

away. The curious thing is that Magnum Chall HVP is the same way. We bought him at 8 months old and he was 9 recently. He looks better today than he did when he was 3. It’s amazing.”

“I think longevity is very strong in the Magnum horses,” David agrees.

“They start as refined youngsters, almost a bit too feminine—even some of the colts—but as they mature, they maintain that refinement. These older stallions look magnificent.”

And every year, more Magnum youngsters arrive to ascend the ranks. “In terms of market, the Magnum Psyche foals have dominated throughout the years,” David notes. “They really have been the trendsetters of what some of the best horses have been marketed for. They have been internationally received by new breeders and entrepreneurs, so there is a solid foundation that surrounds Magnum and the marketing program. It has been a great union between Haras Mayed and Midwest.”

16 MAGNUM HALL OF FAME | AR ABIAN HORSE TIMES

“Magnum is a horse that was created to bring joy and happiness to the hearts of Arabian enthusiasts and aficionados … a being that the good Lord above spent a lot more time on. Magnum and Fernando were meant to be together, and with the entourage headed by David Boggs, Fernando has allowed Magnum to become all he can be. Thousands of tests from now, his name will still ring and never be forgotten. What Magnum has done for the Arabian breed, no words can truly describe.”—Travis Rice

As time has passed, Fernando has expressed his support for Magnum in his support for the breed as a whole. “He’s an ambassador for the Arabian horse business and he wants to help the market any way he can,” says David. “He’s been there worldwide to donate breedings to charities and different functions, and he’s nominated the horse for almost every program that has been.

“Fernando and Joaquin’s foresight, breeding prowess, dedication, friendship and love for everyone in the Arabian breed have allowed Magnum to achieve the honor of being the Arabian breed’s greatest sire—at the youngest age ever for a stallion. Their dream has been accomplished, and now fuels the hearts and souls of Arabian breeders around the world, allowing them to also produce their own champions through Magnum.

“Fernando and Joaquin, with their friend David Boggs, who is like family to them, have created an Arabian icon that will last forever and never to be equaled: Magnum Psyche!”
