Overview

Pax is quickly becoming one of the most prolific sires of high quality Knabstrupper offspring in
North America. Pax is incredibly versatile, standing at 16.3 hh, he is ridden under saddle in
dressage as well as driven in harness. Pax has recently begun jumping and is proving to have
wonderful form and easily clears 1.20m.
Pax's sire, Pegasus Vom Niehaus-Hof, is a licensed KNN 1st Premium Stallion that was
imported from Germany in 2006. In 2004, he was awarded the Verbandspremium stallion title by
ZfDP. Pax’s dam, Firefly de Bec, is by Ambrosius af Asgard (aka Atlantis). Atlantis was
imported from Germany and sired several exceptional offspring. Atlantis had a wonderful
temperament and scored a perfect 10 for temperament during his licensing. Pax is 6/8 purebred
Knabstrupper in the 3rd generation. Pax’s offspring are eligible for Main Book Knabstrupper
registration. To understand the registration eligibility depending on the mare’s pedigree and
status, please read our Knabstrupper Registration document.
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 and the 7-year-old Oldenburg stallion Davos CF and beating out several traditional
Warmblood stallions. This was a huge accomplishment for a rare breed and non-traditional
Warmblood.

What to Expect When Breeding to Pax Asgard af Pegasus:
We are universally hearing praise from breeders on the outstanding type and temperament of
their Pax offspring. Pax has produced several Premium foals in his first year of breeding to
outside mares. He has consistently produced correct and quality type with lovely gaits and long
legs.
Pax is unique to the North American Knabstrupper breeding pool. Pax is a homozygous fewspot,
meaning Pax is homozygous for LP and PATN1 (LP/LP, PATN1/PATN1). Pax offers mare
owners the unique ability to genetically produce a leopard offspring when bred to a solid-colored
mare. 
The approved outcross list for KNN, the mother registry that passports Knabstruppers, is
extensive. To understand the registration eligibility depending on the mare’s pedigree and status,
please read our Knabstrupper Registration document.
Pax has incredible fertility with over 85% of his book settling on the first breeding attempt. In
2020, he had an 80% first breeding attempt rate with over half of the mares being older maiden
mares or mares that had prior difficulty conceiving.
Pax is collected for fresh or frozen semen with Select Breeder Services in Maryland. Frozen
semen is also stored at Gene Movers in Australia and is available for New Zealand as well. Pax

has produced multiple first attempt frozen pregnancies in both the USA and Australia. Each
frozen dose comes with 8 .5 ml straws with 560 million progressively motile sperm per dose
post-thaw. His semen quality post-thaw is 84% motility (initial evaluation was 95%) and 70%
progressive motility (initial evaluation was 76%). All frozen or fresh doses come with full
quality reporting.
