My name is Apollo van de Kapel Z, but you can call me Apollo. My father is the famous stallion Aganix du Seigneur Z. With my sleek liver chestnut coat and the determination of a true competitor, I’ve made my mark in the showjumping world. Every leap, every stride, and every perfect landing reflects years of training, trust, and top-tier care. But my success isn’t just about what happens in the ring—it’s built on everything that happens behind the scenes, too.
A key part of my journey is my kahu, Heather Joy Mostert. In Hawaiian culture, a kahu is a guardian, caretaker, or protector, and Heather embodies this role in every way. She ensures I’m not only physically prepared for competition but also happy, healthy, and thriving. From my training routine to my daily care, she is my guiding hand, ensuring I always feel and perform at my best.
When I’m not soaring over fences, you’ll find me enjoying the simple things in life—like a good grooming session, my evening routine with plenty of lucerne and hay, or a relaxing moment in my cosy socks. Being at my best takes more than just practice; it takes the right fuel. And that’s where Royal Feeds comes in.
As an ambassador for Royal Feeds, I can confidently say their nutrition has been a game-changer in my career. Showjumping isn’t easy—the fences are high, the courses are technical, and the expectations are always sky-high. I need strength, endurance, and sharp focus to stay on top of my game. I’m always ready to perform, recover, and repeat thanks to Royal Feeds’ scientifically balanced nutrition.
Their specialised formulas provide everything an equine athlete like me needs:
✔ High-quality proteins to keep my muscles strong
✔ Balanced carbohydrates & fats for lasting energy
✔ Essential vitamins & minerals to support my overall health
But being an ambassador isn’t just about what I achieve in competition—it’s about sharing the journey. I love inviting riders, trainers, and fans into my world, whether it’s through my diary entries or a glimpse behind the scenes! I represent what’s possible when a horse is cared for properly, from the stable to the show ring.
At the end of the day, Royal Feeds and I share a simple belief:
Champions aren’t just made in the arena—they’re built in the stable, one feed bucket at a time.
So, next time you see me clearing a course with power and precision, just know—that it’s not just skill; it’s Royal Feeds fuelling every stride.
