Offspring report
Heart Touch showed a collection of well-developed foals that stand for rideability and have a lot of appeal with a downhill body direction multiple times. The necks are more than sufficient in length and are generally positioned well with a lot of muscling. The back should have a bit more length in some cases. Seen from the side, the front leg sometimes has an upright pastern stance. The hind leg is variable in stance, as well correct, upright as a sickle stance has been established. The walk is good in length and several times the front leg stance is toed out. The trot is good in length and elasticity and more than sufficient in impulsion and balance. The foals of Heart Touch canter more than sufficiently powerful with sufficient length but should have more body use. The by the owner presented foals had backs that were good in length and muscling and had a correct hind leg stance. The leg conformation was a bit fine.

Conformation:
Heart Touch is a well-developed stallion which should have more rectangular-shaped conformation. He has a downhill body direction. The head is attractive. The poll has sufficient length with a heavy head-neck connection. The neck has sufficient length with more than sufficient muscling and horizontal placement. The wither is more than sufficiently developed and has more than sufficient length. The shoulder is somewhat straight but has good length. The back has sufficient length and good muscling. The loins have good muscling and are well connected. The croup has good placement with sufficient length and muscling. The line from the point of the hip to the point of the buttock should be longer. The front leg is correct. The hind leg is long and a fraction straight. The pasterns have good length and are slightly straight. The legs are somewhat fine-boned but of good quality. The hooves have sufficient shape and good quality with somewhat low heels.
Lineage:
Heart Touch, a son of Untouched, is a stallion with interesting breeding. Untouched is by the Grand Prix stallion Untouchable (Hors la Loi x Heartbreaker) out of Cantate I (s.Capitol I), a daughter of the Olympic winner Classic Touch (s.Caletto II), ridden by Ludger Beerbaum. Untouched is currently excelling in the show ring under Nick Skelton.
Heart Touch's predicate-rich dam-line is also interesting. His dam Dymphonie, an elite mare by Vingino, earned good scores in her mare test. Heart Touch's granddam Symphonie (s.Mermus R) earned the ster, preferent, PROK and prestatie predicates. She is also the dam of an international 1.35m horse by Rash R and 1.30m horses by Regilio and Unaniem. Symphonie's dam Jolaris received the elite, preferent and prestatie predicates. This Nimmerdor daughter produced jumpers which compete at the 1.30m level or higher. She is also the granddam of the KWPN stallion Gullit HBC. The dam-line continues with a ster preferent prestatie mare by Notaris, a ster mare by Marco Polo, and a mare by the English Thoroughbred Koridon xx.
Performance Test Report:
Heart Touch is an honest and reliable stallion with a very good temperament. He is very willing to work, has good trainability, and a good mouth.
