Pyxis av Drommarna
KNN registered, and lifetime approved stallion.
One of only 2 KNN approved Knabstrupper stallions by Pegasus vom Niehous-Hof (2nd is Talent av Drommarna) available in North America!
Pyxis is a first-premium main-book Knabstrupper stallion recognized by the Knabstrupperforeningen for Danmark, the foundational registry governing all adjacent studbooks. This prestigious status reflects his exceptional performance in testing for temperament, conformation, vetting, and endurance. He achieved an impressive score of 846.07 in his ridden test, with detailed results available on this page.
Pyxis is a Knabstrupper of royal lineage, distinguished as one of the rare KNN-approved stallions in North America. With exceptional jumping bloodlines, a gentle temperament, superb rideability, and remarkable movement, he stands out as a truly exceptional horse.
Pyx is a powerful stallion wrapped up in a big, sweet, spotted candy wrapper. He truly doesn't want to put a hoof wrong and aims to please. In 2022, Pyx won the year-end championships at the 1st level in dressage and has since been excelling in 2nd level classes. His trainer has now entrusted him to her adult amateur manager, and he is proving to be a fantastic partner for her. Stay tuned for updates, as Pyx is already practicing more advanced movements such as half-pass, passage, shoulder-in, and piaffe. ❤
Currently, all of his foals inherit his easy-going temperament, height, sturdy build, and strong hindquarters. Three of his offspring are now under saddle, and they've been remarkably easy to train, almost as if they were born ready. Two of the three have started jumping and display excellent technique. I will provide updates as they mature. You can also view them HERE

Pyx's sire, Pegasus Vom Niehaus-Hof (Peg), is a Verbandspremium stallion and the best ZfDP (German Warmblood) stallion. Peg's success in Para-Equestrian FEI Dressage highlights his exceptional temperament and movement.
In 2011, Peg became the last-minute mount for Para equestrian Laurietta Oakleaf when tornadoes in the central states prevented her from transporting her horses to Del Mar. After a successful show, Peg's owners were approached by USPEA president Hope Hand, who asked if a young para rider could use Peg for a clinic with Olympic rider Debbie McDonald. Despite the risk and liability, they trusted Peg's steadiness and agreed.
During the clinic, Debbie McDonald praised Peg, saying, "what an amazing gelding," impressed by his patience and gentleness with the young rider paralyzed on one side due to a brain injury. When she learned Peg was a stallion, she was even more impressed with his temperament and intelligence. The next year, the young rider, Sydney Collier, returned to California to compete with Peg as her preferred mount.
Peg also served as the mount for Laura Goldman, who was partially paralyzed on the opposite side of Sydney. He was also the mount for a clinic given by Mette Rosencrantz after the competition, accommodating Syd, Laura, and five additional para riders. Clearly, the Knabstrupper brain is extraordinary!
Pyx's dam, Colibria Z (Bria), is a 16.3 hand Zangersheide mare bred by the renowned Olympic sporthorse breeder Koos Derks in the Netherlands. As a young horse, Bria was jumped by Derks before being purchased and imported to the USA for a young rider to compete at 1.0m. Bria boasts an excellent jump, a kind temperament, and remains sound at 26!
She is by the Grand Prix jumper (1.5m) Holsteiner stallion Cevin. Cevin’s dam, U-Capitola (stamm 173), is the full sibling to the legendary Capitol I and has distinguished herself as an exceptional broodmare, producing well-known approved stallions such as Quite Capitol, Lord Capitol, and Cevin. The quality of her bloodlines is evident, with her grand-get achieving Grand Prix show jumping (1.6m) championships (Quite Easy I and II). Cevin's Holsteiner sire, Calando I (stamm 7673), was an international show jumping champion (1.7m) and has sired many successful offspring in eventing, dressage, and international show jumping, including Canaris, Castor, and Careful, who competed in the Barcelona Olympics.
Bria hails from an outstanding damline known for both competition and production. Notably, the line includes the international CCI5 eventer, El Mundo (Video) who placed in the 2023 Pan American Games and is Canadian Olympic hopeful and the late FEI Dressage/GP Jumper stallion, Tempranillo.
Bria's dam is by the KWPN jumper-producing stallion, Transvaal, an influential showjumping sire whose offspring have competed at the highest levels, including the Olympics.
You don't have to look generations back for genetic gold. It is up front and center!

The next few pictures are of him through the years of growing up. He has trained my daughter well when it comes to proper scratching techniques!
Pyxis really has a beautiful soul and aims to please. His athleticism, brains and best personality make him a joy to own and for his trainer to compete!
