Held in the fascinating ecological haven located in the coast of Angra dos Reis with its 365 islands and surrounded by the greenish Serra do Mar, the Rio Arabian Show is the event where the Arabian Horse meets the sea in Brazil. This annual event has been held for 6 years at Hotel do Frade, a sophisticated resort located in the Southern area of Rio de Janeiro State that offers among its facilities a golf course and a marina. As usual, the event was superbly organized by the nice couple of breeders, Claudio and Nancy Hirsch, owners of the Stud Farm Namahê. This year the show took place on June 31st-August 02nd and was judged by the Brazilians Lenita Perroy and Marcelo Borges and the Italian Fausto Scanzi. A stallion imported from Poland by Jaime Pinheiro, owner of the Vila dos Pinheiros Stud Farm, the stud *Emiliusz was awarded the Champion Horse prize by the judges, and as Reserve, Stud Farm JM's Mister Style JM, owned by José and Maisa Alves.
Dapple gray *Emiliusz is the offspring of the Egyptian Laheeb with the Polish Emocja (by Monogramm), bred by Poland's Michalow Stud Farm and belongs to the celebrated dam line "E" whose grandmother from the mother's side is Emigracja, this family's current big star, the mother and grandmother of big race horses and international halter champions. This was its second appearance in Brazilian exhibitions and in both it became the Unanimous Senior Champion Stallion. Its Reserve, Mister Style JM, has already been the National Reserve Champion Colt and has currently re-started its stallion career in Brazil after experiencing a period of shows and breeding in the Midwest Training Centre owned by David Boggs. It is the son of *Style SRA, one of the most successful among the offspring of Bey Shah breeding in Brazil. Mister Style's dam is Jaklanna JM, daughter of Jahd El Jamaal with C Fantasy Shaklan (by El Shaklan).
The Vila dos Pinheiros and JM stud farms have also had other Champions. HVP, the suffix for Vila dos Pinheiros, has conquered, besides Emiliusz, the Junior Female Championship with Raffoletta Rose HVP, which had just been sold to the Italian breeder Federico Castelanni. Raffoletta is daughter of *Legacy of Fame, son of Legacy of Gold, grandson of Aladdinn. Raffoletta's dam is Magnum Rose HVP (by Magnum Psyche) with *Rohara Antiquibey (by Bey Shah).

Score JM's dam, Hestoriah, an Aristocrat in Brazilian breeding, Q' Di Style JM's dam, National Junior Male Champion, Larabeska JM, National Junior Female Champion and Onzza D' Style JM, National Reserve Champion, all of them exported to the United States.
