Intro
The Aegidienberger is a relatively recent cross, one that utilizes elegant Peruvian Paso and the pure blood of hardy Icelandic horses. The aim was to create a larger gaited animal that is well suited to the colder climates of Germany.
Origins
The first cross was bred by Walter Feldmann and his son Walter Junior. They wanted an attractive, gaited animal that was good under saddle and robust enough to withstand harsh weather. The breed was officially recognized in 1994 & a studbook created. However there have never been high numbers bred and there are fewer than 100 registered animals at any time.
