He was awarded 9 for type, 10 for his very good top-line and his musculature, 8 for the correct leg and hoof posture, and received a full 10 points for overall impression. His trot was highly judged, and the canter was particularly well received with a big scope and balance.

Heartbeat won his 30-day performance test 2005 in Vilhelmsborg and became a champion both as a 4-, 5- and 6-year-old in Denmark. As a 5-year old he won the 2006 Danish young horse championship in jumping, achieving the maximum of 10 points in the eight assessment points. The same year he made four flawless clear rounds during the Young Horse World Championships in Zangersheide and took second place in the 5-years old championship in Falsterbo. Heartbeat has since competed successful at International Grand Prix level.

His daughter Järta ridden by Karin Martinsen won the 2016 Swedish Breeders Trophy and the Elmia Scandinavian Horse Show for 7-year-old horses. Another daughter, Lucky Lisa, won the 3-year Swedish Breeders championships, and went on to compete successfully ridden by Alexander Zetterman with placements in International 155 classes, and during the Swedish International Horse Show.

The Heartbeat son Happy Feets Heartbeat (b. 2012, ue. Baloubet du Rouet) has been top placed as a young horse and is regarded as a potential future championship horse. He achieved, among other things, Denmark’s highest accumulated points in jumping during the Danish Warmblood’s young horse test. A total of 987, 5 points distributed with 9.5 on technique, 10 for scope, 10 for the canter, and 10 for rideability.

In the past few years, Heartbeat has proven himself a stallion to count on. He has had several offspring qualify for the World Young Horse Championships in jumping and great successes as a sire during the Swedish Breeders Trophy.

His sire, Heartbreaker, is truly a legend who consistently performed with elasticity and responsiveness and was awarded the coveted title "The Horse" in the KWPN in 2015. Grand sire Nimmerdoor was awarded concurrently with the title "Stallion of the Century" in the KWPN. Heartbreaker has many of his own great merits and  has been very successful producing exceptional offspring for the sport and breeding.
