by THERESA CARDAMONE Beyond the gracious gates and down the picturesque lanes that wind between verdant pastures, the ivy-covered walls of Haras Vila dos Pinheiros embrace the living dreams of its founder, Jaime Pinheiro. Since its inception in 1990, Haras Vila dos Pinheiros has taken its place among the leading Arabian horse breeding farms in Brazil. The impact of the HVP breeding program is evident in the pedigrees of current champions at top competitions on a global level.
Jaime Pinheiro selected his foundation stock after visiting many illustrious collections of horses in Brazil and all around the world. He was impressed with the style, type, elegance and fire of the Padron lineage and the power, charisma and movement of Bey Shah and his descendants. He also learned the value of the dam line and insisted on
exceptional pedigrees on the maternal side as well. With the genetic probabilities now stacked in favor of success, it did not take long for the “HVP” suffix to become synonymous with the high quality of the HVP herd.
Magnum Chall HVP has shown a bright light on the HVP program ever since he was foaled in 2001. Sold at a very young age to the United States, the son of Magnum Psyche and Taamara HVP (a homebred daughter of Don El Chall) was the unanimous Scottsdale Junior Champion Colt in 2003 before earning the first of his three national titles, U.S. National Champion Junior Stallion in 2004. The following year, Magnum Chall won the same title in Canada before returning to Brazil, where he also claimed the junior championship.
Magnum Chall HVP is the sire of many exceptional horses for the world’s leading breeders, including one of the prize broodmares of Albidayer Stud, 2005 U.S. National Reserve Champion Yearling filly, Mattaharii. A stunning mare, she out-produced herself with her daughter, 2017 World Gold Champion Junior Mare, Mozn Albidayer, who is also the 2016 U.S. National Champion Junior Mare; as well as producing other champions, including French National Champion, Mayasah Albidayer. Magnum Chall has sired a multitude of national winners, such as 2017 Brazilian National Champion Hunter Pleasure horse, Munir HVP, out of Myna HVP.
The HVP stamp is evident across the world. 2012 Brazilian National Champion Stallion Vulcano HVP, by Nuzyr HCF out of the homebred Lady Psyche HVP, is a magnificent chestnut with previous Brazilian honors as a young colt and junior stallion. Cherished broodmare HB Bessolea celebrated two of her offspring winning U.S. National Champion titles in 2014 when full siblings Bessolina El Marwan and Baahir El Marwan, by Marwan Al Shaqab, were named Champion 4-5 Year Mare and overall Champion Stallion. In 2017, full sister Baviera HVP was named Brazilian Senior Champion Mare.
HVP mare RD Fabreanna, a U.S. National Champion Yearling Filly, is the dam of the stallion who finished Reserve National Champion to Baahir in the U.S. in 2014 and is a Brazilian National Champion himself, LLC Fasario. Fabreanna is the dam of many other incredible horses, including multiple-U.S. and World Champion, Donna Molta Bella SRA. Angel of Marwan is a full sister to three U.S. National Champion Yearling fillies, all out of the phenomenal Amety B (Eternety x Amiga B, by Bask El Amigo) and sired by Marwan Al Shaqab. She is representative of the many other outstanding mares who are part of the HVP collection; Aj Kharena, DA Joia, Abbiat El Shams, JR Burmagny, Promessah, RP Joharra, et al.

The Haras Vila dos Pinheiros program has been honored by the many important breeding awards they have garnered over the years. And that is not likely to change in the near future, if the results of the last two years are any indication.
In 2016 Haras Vila dos Pinheiros won the prestigious Breeders Cup championship as Brazil’s leading breeder. The farm was ranked in first place as both the Leading Breeder and Leading Exhibitor of halter horses and second as leading breeder and leading exhibitor of performance horses, a remarkable achievement. HVP also earned accolades as a breeder and exhibitor on a global level.
The momentum established by winning the Breeders Cup continued unabated in 2017, when Haras Vila dos Pinheiros was ranked as the best in Brazil, this time in all four major categories: Best Halter Breeder and Best Halter Exhibitor; and Best Performance Breeder and Best Performance Exhibitor! In halter, HVP horses won the Gold in Senior Mares (Baviera HVP), Young Stallions (Menton HVP), and Geldings (Sheik Shakhyr HVP); Silver in Senior Stallions (Tales HVP), Colts (Fire Heart HVP) and Geldings (Major HVP), with Bronze in Senior Mares (Tawany HVP) and Fillies (Special Dream HVP). Haras Vila dos Pinheiros brought home four national championships in performance, one in Hunter Pleasure (Munir HVP), and three in Western Pleasure (Princesa HVP, Donatello HVP, Major HVP).

It is an accomplishment made even more astonishing when the other phenomenal Brazilian breeding programs are taken into consideration. To dominate the national standings so completely is more than a rare feat. It is a testament to the continuity and vibrancy of the HVP program, which remains on the cutting edge of the breed.
HARAS VILA DOS PINHEIROS—
It is an endeavor created by the love of nature, by the admiration of beauty and by the belief in harmony. The Arabian horse synthesizes all these feelings and that is why we are proud to share our horses with those who enjoy the same passion and beliefs....
