The
local breed name for the
Aegidienberg is the Aegidienberger.
Not much is known about this breed, although it is acknowledged by the breed
society Rheinisches Pferdestammbuch. It is
thought to be a composite of the Paso and the Iceland Pony, and they have an
established herdbook.
There are very few of these ponies today, and their
population numbers are decreasing rapidly. They are a special breed, and one of
their special abilities is that they are very tolerant to heat. This breed is
critically endangered, and it has been calculated that the number of females is
down to eleven.
