Write up from the Pride of Poland sales catalog:

Undoubtedly one the very best stallions to come out of the Om El Arab International breeding program, OM EL BELLISSIMO is beloved and admired by breeders around the world for his extreme type, size and scope and as the ideal modern manifestation of the Egyptian-Spanish “Golden Cross”. Though not the first Om El Arab bred horse to be utilized in the Polish breeding program, BELLISSIMO is the first to stand directly at stud in Poland, providing breeders with broader access to genetic strength that has proven to be an unqualified success. Phenotypically, BELLISSIMO represents the highest level of exotic Arabian type with a superlatively designed head of sculpted refinement, enhanced by large dark eyes and an extreme dish. His breed-standard type is further evident in his comman - ding aristocratic presence, overall smooth elegant design, and exuberant tail carriage, as well as his impressive strength, length and levelness of topline. BELLISSIMO is furthermore a stallion of extreme size, scope and substance, with perhaps the most magnificently long, well shaped and ideally placed neck ever to come of the Om El Arab program. BELLISSIMO is the masterful combination of linebreeding to two of the breed’s most influential Arabians of the last century – the immortal ESTOPA and her legendary son EL SHAKLAN. BELLI - SSIMO carries an incredible five crosses to the Spanish-bred ESTOPA, a mare whose ethereal beauty and unparalleled influence can be found in literally every corner of the globe. The equally influential and universally esteemed EL SHAKLAN is present three times in the pedigree of BELLISSIMO, twice through SANADIK EL SHAKLAN and once through Scottsdale Champion SHAREM EL SHEIKH. BELLISSIMO’s sire, US National & Arabian Breeders World Cup Champion OM EL SHAHMAAN, adds the blood of World Champion CARMARGUE, a stallion who traces directly to many of the best Polish and Crabbet horses in the breed. The future looks very bright for this young Arabian icon – like his renowned predecessors, expect OM EL BELLISSIMO to redefine the standard of Arabian horse exce - llence for this new millennium.
