Dungård is a Norwegian Fjord Horse breeding and training farm, owned by Dan Watanabe & Denise Vogel. It is currently located in Valley, Washington. Dungård is dedicated to excellence in Norwegian Fjordhorses that exemplify the breed's character and convey their Power, Elegance and irresistible Charm!
We have a small breeding program which represents top quality blood-lines from North America and Europe and are working to establish national and international partnerships that promote quality, genetic diversity and, by extension, long term sustainability in the breed. From the very beginning we have chosen to focus on versatile, highly capable Fjords and innovative training methods.
Dungård's stallions are top quality, yet different from each other and very complementary.
We are currently standing at stud our gorgeous grey dun German import stallion, Tsjalle, our magnificent white dun stallion OFI Siljar and our newly imported glorious red dun stallion Gio. Starting in summer 2022, we will also offering the Danish import stallion Kian Klattrup for breeding to outside mares via live cover. Kian is co-owned by us and Jayne Olson.
Please check with us for availability for each stallion for 2024.

Congratulations to Dr. Miranda Cleveland on her purchase of DD Skål! We couldn't have hoped for a better home and are beyond excited! Skål will be staying at DDungard and we raised in our youngster herd. We love watching this boy grow and be part of his journey!
We are thrilled that our lovely Tsjalle daughter Tuppen is confirmed in foal to Siljar for 2025! Since our other Tsjalle daughters are white duns, we are thrilled that we are able to try this cross with Tuppen, who just joined our program a month ago.
Congratulations to Melissa and Jason Webb for having their two new mares SOS Ingearfer and Alaska Fjords Paske Sundae confirmed in foal to Siljar and Gio for 2025! The mares will be shipping east in the next month and we are looking forward to them finally getting to know each other!
Congratulations to Patty Wilson on her purchase of DD Matteo (DD Malibu x Havenwood's Jorun) and DD Gin (Gio x Zelda)! These lucky boys are going to grow up together and live not too far from us! We couldn't have hoped for a better situation for them!
In the year of the colts for us, even Jorun produced an adorable brown dun colt by DD Malibu. DD Matteo is her first colt and certainly genetically quite unique as one of only two Malibu foals. He has an adorable head and, as everyone knows who has a Jorun foal, a sweet and personal disposition. With Jorun being our best moving mare and Malibu incredibly talented, Matteo should become a hell of a mover!
Our stunning white dun Tsjalle daughter DD Hera is confirmed in foal to Gio for 2025! Hera's dam is Ironwood Helena (OH Wynn x FC Madellin by Modellen). Helena herself had two Gio foals so far that were exceptional and therefore we are thrilled to her daughter now confirmed in foal as well!
Just as it noted in the our calendar, DD Flora foaled two days after her mother LVG Faksi and produced a beautiful brown dun filly by Tsjalle.
Introducing DD Florentina, a darling filly who looks like a carbon copy of Flora when she was still a wee foal. Florentina - short Flo - has a beautiful head and refined build.
LVG Faski proudly presented her white dun colt a week early. This handsome fella is sired by our homebred stallion (now gelding) DD Malibu (Prince Maximus Sur Mer x Ironwood Helena by OH Wynn).
DD Merkur has quite the ancestors to show off with Prydarson, Felix, Flotren, Mogly, Bakkens Marius and Modellen. He is already showing great presence and we are hoping he will stay intact for future breeding use.
