Gepeto MG's sire Zapatero (Chin Chin x Ircolando) was Reserve Champion at the Stallion approvals in 2007 and had a stallion 70 day test. He won a 4 year old competition in Dwingeloo and placed 6th in the Final of the 4 year old Championship in Geesteren. Also during the stallion competition he did really well, by placing 3rd in Hengelo and 4th in Roosendaal and Deurne. Zapatero received a very good foal report, his foals have a pretty type and a great canter! I think you see that here!
Zapatero's sire Chin Chin (Constant x Farnese) had a very impressive jumping career. Together with his former owner and rider, Jaime Azcarraga from Mexico, this combination participated for more than five years at international level. In 1988 Jaime Azcarraga won five consecutive times in the North American League on the World Cup circuit and competed in Seoul at the Olympic Games where they placed sixth individually. Four years later, they competed again at the Olympics in Barcelona. In 1990, Chin Chin and Jaime Azcarraga started in the first edition of the World Equestrian Games in Stockholm. In 1989 and 1990, they were placed in the final of the World Cup in both Dortmund and Tampa. At the same time, they competed at international jumping competitions during which the scope, character and the suppleness of Chin Chin always aided his determined but amateur rider.
