The Aegidienberger is a relatively recent cross, one that utilizes elegant Peruvian Paso<\/a> and the pure blood of hardy Icelandic horses<\/a>. The aim was to create a larger gaited animal that is well suited to the colder climates of Germany. 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. <\/p>\n According to the DAD-IS as of 2023, there were only 48 left.<\/p>\n Average height above 13 hands Short muscular upright neck All colors<\/a> <\/p>\n Willing and amiable Pleasure mount IGFA<\/a>
