Aegidienberger horse

Country Of Origin Germany
History and Background The Aegidienberger is a relatively recent cross, one that utilizes the elegant Peruvian Paso (37.5 %) and the pure blood of the hardy Icelandic horse (62.5%). 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 & his son Walter Junior. They wanted an attractive, gaited animal that was good under saddle & robust enough to withstand harsh weather. The breed was officially recognized in 1994 & a studbook created. However there have never been high numbers bred & there are fewer than 100 registered animals at any time.
Use Today Agriculture work, Pleasure horse
Height 13 to 14.1 hands high (52-56 inches, 133-142 centimeters)
Colour Any colour
Characteristics Short muscular upright neck, proud head carriage; tail is high set and very thick (as is the mane).
Personality and Temperament Willing and amiable; sturdy and strong relative to their size; strong character and bold personality.
