Pax Asgard af Pegasus

'Pax’ has quickly become one of the most prolific sires of high-quality Knabstrupper offspring in North America, and proven to be a sire of exceptional quality, consistently producing premium sport horse type foals. Pax is an excellent option for breeders seeking to add substance, athleticism, and trainability with the added bonus of unique color. His powerful forward movement and impressive stature gives his rider an exceptional feel. Pax is intelligent, sensible, kind, and overall an absolute pleasure to work with.

In true form of the Knabstrupper's versatility, Pax excels in dressage, driving, and hunter/jumper. He was awarded bronze in the prestigious Get of Sire class at Dressage at Devon, earning an impressive collective score of 77.15 points, beating out many traditional warmbloods. Pax has demonstrated the Knabstrupper’s competitiveness in the Hunter show ring. After only three months of training, he has placed in nearly all his Baby Green 2'6" classes at the World Equestrian Center—an incredible feat, given the exquisite caliber of competition. Now starting his jumping career, Pax has already proven to have exceptional form and power, easily clearing 4 feet/1.20m. With his full scope still to be tested, we are excited to see what the future holds.

Pax’s adaptable and kind disposition are deeply rooted in his pedigree of distinguished Knabstruppers. His sire, Pegasus Vom Niehaus-Hof, is a licensed KNN 1st Premium Stallion, imported from Germany, and was awarded the prestigious Premium Stallion title by ZfDP in 2004. Pax is out of the Premium KNN mare Firefly de Bec, known for her sweet, personable nature. Firefly de Bec is by Atlantis (Ambrosius af Asgard), a German-imported KNN stallion renowned for his outstanding temperament, earning a perfect score of 10 for temperament during his licensing.

He is the only North American Knabstrupper stallion fully licensed and approved with both AES (Anglo European Studbook) and the Westfalen Knabstrupper book. His AES approval allows him to passport offspring into various Warmblood studbooks, including KWPN A Book.

Experience the Pax Difference:
In his offspring, we consistently see his athletic type, size, willing nature, and good bone come through. Along with being stamped with his fluid forward movement, good length of leg, and a brave, sensible character. Their willing and intelligent temperaments make them a joy to work with, and a true asset in any barn. Pax’s progeny are proving to be ideal partners for riders of all levels, with the perfect blend of abilities to offer both personal enjoyment and excel as highly competitive sport horses.

100% Color Producer:
Pax is homozygous for both the LP and PATN1 genes, meaning he will always pass one copy of each gene to his offspring. As a result, every foal will carry the leopard coat pattern, although the intensity may vary depending on other genetic factors inherited from the mare. Just like snowflakes, each foal will have its own unique, one-of-a-kind color pattern—no two are ever the same!

Numerous outcross possibilities:
Pax is unique in his ability to complement a diverse range of mares and breed types, continually producing foals with well-balanced frames and excellent type. For breeders looking to enhance their program with the unique qualities of the Knabstrupper breed, Pax Asgard af Pegasus is an exceptional choice.
