Norwegian Fjordhorses
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.

Tsjalle and Denise's final dressage show in beautiful Eagle, Idaho was a success! The pair earned two first places in First Level with 66% and 69%, which has also been their highest score in First Level so far and only 0.4% of Highpoint Champion of the show. We particularly enjoyed the amazing facility at Les Bois Dressage and all the wonderful and supportive people we met.

Introducing DD Gnist, our last foal for 2023! He is by Gio and out of Greta by Bluebird Lane Griffon. Gnist was born a couple weeks early and has some catching up to do, but is doing fantastic. He is extremely sweet and already loves people. He should have all the talent in the world from both sides of his pedigree to be able to go any direction. He is available!
