Apple, originally named Evita Van Het Appelsvoordehof, competed in Belgium as a young horse prior to being sold to the USA. Under Mclain Ward Apple was a winner at national 1m50 level. Apple later moved to Eden Valley Stables where she performed up to international 1m45 level with Tara Gallagher. Apple won her studbook inspection with the BWP-NAD and was awarded Elite mare status.
Prior to her sport career Apple produced Picobello Choppin PC, by Mozart Des Hayettes, who has already achieved multiple international wins under USA’s Molly Ashe Cawley, including the 1m45 Friends of the Meadows Cup at Spruce Meadows CSI5* in June 2018. In 2020, Picobello Choppin PC & his rider Violet Lindemann Barnett became the USA/USEF Junior National Champions, while also collecting a Bronze medal in the Team Championship.
Baileys VH Meulenhof, Apple’s dam, competes in the USA with Matthew Wildung and is a winner at 1m40 level. Baileys is a half-sister to 1m50 performer Caiman Des Sequoias. Grand dam, Sublime De La Cour, competed up to 1m40 level in Belgium.
