Grand dam Anita received the ‘Prestatie’ predicate through her daughter Brugman’s Princess, her son Orlando who competed at International level and other 1.30m and 1.35m jumpers.
As a 3 year old Zapatero was Reserve Champion at the Stallion inspection and as a 4 year old he was Reserve Champion in the Stallion Competition at 1.10m level.
