 NRHA Hall of Famer Magnum Chic Dream is making history once again as an NRHA $12 Million Sire after only crossing the $11 million mark a mere five months prior. The Guy A Du Ponchel-bred stallion, by NRHA Hall of Famer Smart Chic Olena and out of Sailin Barbee, garnered $44,294 in NRHA LTE for owner Viola Scott. With NRHA Million Dollar Rider Casey Hinton at the reins, the stallion was crowned 2004 American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) Senior World Reining Champion, his most notable title within his show career.

The breeding shed is where Magnum Chic Dream continued to leave his mark on reining. His progeny have competed and earned top titles in nearly every facet of reining competition, including the NRHA Futurity, the NRHA Derby, the National Reining Breeder’s Classic (NRBC), and the World Equestrian Games. To date, 28 of his offspring have over $100,000 NRHA LTE.

Custom Dreams (out of Gunna Be Custom) has led the charge to push Magnum Chic Dream over the $12 Million Sire milestone. Owned by Custom Dreams Brazil, the Devin Warren-bred and -nominated stallion has earned nearly $215,000 this year, including a $100,000 paycheck at the 100X Cowtown Classic where he and Deary won the L4 Open Stakes. They went on to earn top marks at the 2024 6666 NRHA Derby presented by Markel with a reserve championship in the Tamarack Ranch Open 4-Year-Old Stakes, a first-place finish in the American Paint Horse Association (APHA) Chrome Cash division, and sixth place in the L4 Open Derby.
