(Pegasus Vom Niehaus-Hof - Ambrosius af Asgard)
Pax Asgard af Pegasus (Pax) is an
accomplished Knabstrupper stallion licensed with the Westfalen Knabstrupper book.

Standing at 16.3h, Pax is a sporthorse build
with long legs and a big, well balanced frame.

Pax is quickly becoming one of the most
prolific sires of high quality Knabstrupper offspring in North America. He is proving to be a versatile and powerful horse - Pax is ridden in dressage, driven in harness and has recently started jumping and is showing lovely natural jumping talent. In 2021, Pax
competed in the Get of Sire class at the world renowned Dressage at Devon earning a Bronze with a collective mark of 77.15 points to finish behind serial winner KWPN sire Sir Sinclair.

Pax's sire, Pegasus Vom Niehaus-Hof, was imported to the USA. Pegasus was bred by the Dr. Ute Braun-Munzinger of Germany. Pegasus received his breeding license with the ZfDP in March 2004 and was awarded the Verbands Premium Hengst title, signifying that he was considered to be a top graded stallion by that German registry. Pax is fortunate to have a balanced top and bottom line pedigree that boasts the famous Apollon. Apollon became the first colored stallion to pass the rigorous hundred-day stallion testing in Germany, earning a worldwide breeding license. One his dam side, Apollon's grandson, Ambrosius af Asgard "Atlantis" stands out as he was the first Knabstrupper stallion imported to America.
