Norwegian Fjordhorses & Brockamp Bareback Pads

Welcome to DDungård, LLC

DDungård is Norwegian Fjord Horse breeding farm, owned by Dan Watanabe & Denise Vogel, located in Valley, Washington. 

DDungård is dedicated to excellence in Norwegian Fjordhorses that exemplify the breed's character and convey their Power, Elegance and irresistible Charm!  

Norwegian Fjordhorses

As one of only a few progressive Fjord breeding programs in the USA, we are proud to be offering top quality bloodlines that have carefully been selected and developed to promote versatile, highly capable Fjords with excellent conformation, movement and people-oriented personalities. (read more in Breeding program).  


From the very beginning we have chosen to focus on individuals that meet most of these criteria (no one is perfect!), while being genetically diverse, to breed forward to complementary stallions to improve upon the next generation. Applying a strict selection system, our broodmare band is constantly evolving with the help of top quality stallions, who we periodically import from Europe. This helps us enhance overall quality, genetic diversity and, by extension, long term sustainability in the breed.  


We are currently standing at stud our gorgeous grey dun German import stallion, Tsjalle and our "oldie but goldie"  Danish import stallion Kian Klattrup. Kian is co-owned by us and Jayne Olson. 

Our former stallion Siljar is breeding with Dun In farm in Capac, MI and our imported red stallion Gio is breeding with his new owner, Pappy Van Fjords in Fair Grove, MO.  

In 2025 we will be welcoming our co-owned (with Aurora Skurtun) junior stallion DD Tjasse back for his initial breeding season. Hatton's Oskar (FSF Ole x Levitah by Fair Acres Sven II) owned by Ashley Ralph will be standing at DDungård for breeding from June - September 2025. 


For 2026 we are thrilled to be breeding a small number of mares to our newly imported junior stallions OstFin (Nygåards Gurven x Edelfin by Brijol) and Vetch (Jakobsgardens Junar x Füress by Drafur) and well as the homebred colt DD Merkur (DD Malibu x LVG Faksi by Prydarson), owned by Lisa Otten. In 2027 we are planning on using DD Skål (Siljar x DIF Megan by Mogly), owned by Dr. Miranda Cleveland in addition to our other boys.  

Starting in 2026 we will not be offering stud service to outside mares any longer. If you are interested in purchasing a foal sired by our stallion(s), make sure to enter our waitlist.

Announcements

It's a filly!

With our last Siljar foal, Siljar knocked it out of the park! We were expecting a colt from Gina has we had the embryo sexed in utero, but were thilled to find out she actually carried a beautiful big white dun filly!! 


DD Geisha, as the white painted entertainer from Japan, has a huge personality as most of our Siljar foals. She loves her people, is curious and likes to adventure even without her mom. 

Geisha is one of the biggest fillies we have produced and based on her bloodlines, we are super excited to retain her for our breeding program! 


New homes!

Congratulations to: 


Jan Robbins on the purchase of DD Skagi (Siljar x Tuppen by Tsjalle)! Skagi will become a fabulous CDE driving horse on the east coast. 


Carol and Jim Larson on the purchase of DD Solar (Siljar x LVG Faksi by Prydarson). Solar will stay in WA and will become an all around ranch family horse. 


 Zoedi Lynne and Louis Livengood on the purchase of DD Garfield (Gio x Ironwood Helena by OH Wynn)! Garfield will be joining his half brother DD Giovanni (2024) and also stay in WA. 



Two boys within 24h

Our senior mare Ironwood Helena foaled her 5th foal for us and her third foal sired by Gio. While she has produced white, brown and a yellow foal in the past, this time she opted for a red dun, which concludes all possible colors she can produce! 


DD Garfield was born 04/18/25 at 11:45am and is a leggy guy with a cute head. He has some extra sparkle on his forehead, just like his brother Giotto this year. 


Garfield is going to be available either by himself or in a package with Giotto ... they would make a fancy red dun team!


Our young maiden mare DD Finja foaled 04/19/25 right at feeding time. She was about a week early, but her brown dun colt, DD Simon, was cooked to perfection! He is tall with big joints and our much loved Tsjalle/Siljar personality! 


This is Finja's first foal for us and she is doing so well as a first time mother. Simon is also going to be available, check out our sales page for more information!



Filly week

After a week with 3 boys born, the first week of April was filly week! 


We welcomed on April 1st DD Freya (Siljar x DD Flora by Thorsten) a gorgeous grey filly and in fact the first grey filly ever produced by Siljar! Freya has a stunning head, tons of feminine presence and a super sweet personality. There is no doubt she will have a major role in the future of our breeding program. 


On April 2nd, we welcomed DD Eleanor (Tsjalle x Emelianna by Silver Flyer), a big framed gal with a Tsjalle-foal-typical curiosity, confidence and people oriented disposition. Eleanor is, just like her dam, a full grey that also carries the cream gene, meaning, she can produce white dun foals even being genetically full grey. 


We are THRILLED about both of these awesome girls joining our program and can't wait to see how they grow up.   
 



Third foal of the week

Third foal of the week

Third foal of the week is DD Solar - born on the day of the solar eclipse, sired by Siljar and out of LVG Faksi by Prydarson. 


As expected, this cross didn't disappoint! Solar has an amazing neck, is uphill build and TONS of presence. He is super sweet and personable... no surprise here either. 

Such a bummer he wasn't a filly, but someone will be very lucky with such an amazing stud prospect!!  
 



Back to back foals

Third foal of the week

 

Next in line for foaling was actually Tess, but Tuppen foaled right on time of her due date 03/24/25 a stunning white dun colt by Siljar. 

Tuppen has proven herself to be sweet and caring mom. 


DD Skagi (Siljar x Tuppen by Tsjalle/Mogly) is a beautifully put together colt with a exceptional neck and throat latch, straight legs and super cute head. 

Skagi is already showing a big frame, yet is remaining elegant with good bone and substance.

He will likely mature around 14.2/14.3hh. 

From his mother, he is red recessive and has a high chance of carrying the grey gene as both parents do.  

 

Since we really can't use another white colt and Skagi is too related to our mares, he will be available. 


Tess decided to follow Tuppen's lead the next day and foaled a healthy red dun colt sired by Gio! 

DD Giotto is also surprisingly large in frame, with a well attached neck and nice shoulder. 

He will likely mature around 14.1-14.2hh


Giotto is going to be available on a gelding contract.

Prydarson frozen semen available!

Prydarson was already a Fjord legend during his lifetime. Born in 1998 in Norway, Prydarson was imported to Canada by Pat Wolfe and later moved to the USA standing at Long View Grange. 

Prydarson made a name for himself as the Fjord stallion with the highest evaluation score in the NFHR evaluation program with 87p for conformation and movement. He also achieved high point Blue Ribbons in advanced driving with 91p and advanced draft with 88.25p. 

Prydarson was also very successfully driven at recognized multi breed shows. 

His offspring are loved by competitive riders and drivers all over the states. His son LVG Prydar is competing at USDF 4th Level and "knocking on FEI doors" . 


We are proud to have one direct daughter with LVG Faksi, 3 granddaughter and 1 great granddaughter of  Prydarson in our program. 


 We are pleased to be offering the remaining frozen semen of this legendary stallion to use on purebred registered Fjord mares!

We are over the moon excited to be welcoming THREE new additions from Europe to our program! 


OstFin (Nygårds Gurven x Edelfin by Brijol/Trollfin) is coming from Sweden! This handsome grey boy has an excellent motor and hind end and super cute face. His sire produced the "Dagens hest" in Norway this year and is approved in Norway, Sweden and DK! 

Huge thank you to Helen Indrebö for making him available!


Vetch van het Vene (Jakobgardens Junar x Füress by Drafur/Sebastian) is coming from the Netherlands!  Interestingly bred grey colt with striking movement. Sire was born in Norway and is a yellow dun, so Vetch is recessive for red. Drafur was born and approved in Germany. 

Huge thank you to Annabel van den Berg for allowing us to bring this little gem to the US and allowing us to  lay our group over at your facility. 


Last but not least: Vita!! 

Vita (Timor x Raika by Brijol/Hertug) a grey filly with jaw dropping movement and tons of presence! Timor, a "closer than half brother" to Dan's former stallion Tico put his excellent motor and size on his stunning filly. The famous Brijol and Hertug (sire of Fløtren) contributed to this compact powerhouse. 

Also a huge thank you to breeder Linda van 't Hoenderdal for letting us bring your first Fjord foal across the big pond! 



 

Hatton's Oskar coming in 2025!

Prydarson frozen semen available!

Hatton's Oskar coming in 2025!

 

Huge THANK you to Ashley Ralph and Dreamfield Fjords for entrusting us with her gorgeous grey dun stallion Hatton's Oskar for the 2025 breeding season.

Oskar is sired by FSF Ole and out of Levitah by Fair Acres Sven II. We are excited to be offering actually new genetics in the PNW and can't wait to see how he crosses with our mares! 

Please contact if you are interested in breeding your mare to Oskar in 2025! He will be standing from June - September in Valley, WA.
