His achievements include numerous wins in competitions for young dressage horses. Apache's dam Tolanda (s.Krack C), an elite mare, performed a very good IBOP test. Her sire Krack C is a celebrated name in dressage.  In addition to competing successfully in the grand prix under Anky van Grunsven, he boasts numerous approved sons. Apache's granddam, the ster preferent mare Olanda, is by Inspekteur, a former small tour competitor. Apache's great-granddam Kolda, a ster mare by El Corona (s.Amor), produced offspring including Ramon (s.Métall), who is classified at the ZZ-advanced level.
