Sire Line
His sire, Hors La Loi II, is a French-bred stallion and former international competitor under Rodrigo Pessoa. He hails from the famed Bourree bloodline and has produced an extraordinary number of top-level jumpers. His progeny include:
Valent – ridden by Dermot Lennon, competing internationally at 1.60m
Val d’Isere – 1.60m international placements
Verdi III – international 1.40–1.60m success
Hors La Loi II has sired more than 20 horses competing at 1.60m and numerous other international performers. His bloodlines are synonymous with talent, scope, and longevity in sport.
Dam Line
Untouchable comes from a powerful damline, with eight horses jumping at 1.60m in the first three generations.
Dam: Promesse, also the dam of young stallion Escape Z, currently competing at 1.45m with Harrie Smolders
Granddam: Chablis, competed up to 1.50m, along with her full sister Hella XXVII
This damline has produced Olympic stallion Clinton and other international performers such as Classiker, Cardero, Caruso, Cobra, Lavender, Livingstone, Naples, Versace, Champs Elysées, Cristallo, and Cadett
The third sire, Carthago, is a two-time Olympian who has produced over 100 licensed sons and more than 150 offspring competing at Grand Prix level, including Old Chap Tame, Mylord Carthago, Davos, Cappucino, Cash 63, and Coltaire Z. This rich genetic heritage ensures Untouchable transmits both quality and proven performance.
Progeny
Untouchable is already making a significant mark as a sire, producing offspring competing internationally:
Big Brother – active on the Global Champions Tour
Corana’s M&M and Carona – placed at Nations Cup level
Diesel – jumping successfully up to 1.55m
His offspring inherit his blood, athletic type, length of frame, and competitive mind. Untouchable is suitable for a wide range of mares, producing versatile, talented, and bold sport horses — though he is best paired with mares that are not overly heavy.
