By Mario Braga
He didn’t just raise the bar, he reset it entirely.
TM Itaipu (El Tino x Faizah Carol by Shael Dream Desert) was named 2022 Brazilian Gold National Champion Young Stallion and his impact on the breed has only grown since.
His get have claimed titles across Brazil, Europe, and the Middle East. His daughter TM Bella has been among the top winning show horses in Europe and the Gulf region. His son TM Emperor won Gold at the GCAT in São Paulo and Silver at the GCAT Finals in Doha. His daughter TM Ipanema was crowned Brazilian Silver National Champion Yearling Filly before her export to Qatar.
On the sire side, Itaipu descends from El Tino, one of the most important sons of DA Valentino, representing the powerful Mirage line through Bay El Bey, Bey Shah, and Versace. His dam line traces through four consecutive generations of internationally exported mares, all representing the legacy of Haras Aratinga.
First leased to Al Nasser Stud then to Ajman Stud, one of the world’s premier Arabian breeding programs, TM Itaipu’s first international foals are now hitting the ground.
