Norwegian Fjordhorses & Brockamp Bareback Pads
Welcome to DDungård, LLC
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!
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. Our homebred stallion DD Malibu, owned by Kat Barrett, will be with us for the early 2023 breeding season.
For 2023 we will only be standing Kian Klattrup, Gio and Siljar for outside mares via live cover. We are not shipping fresh chilled semen in 2023 on any of our stallions. Tsjalle and Malibu will not be available for outside mares! 2022/2023 will be their last breeding season before being exclusively riding horses.

Our mother and daughter pair, LVG Faksi and her daughter DD Flora, both foaled a couple beautiful and very different colts a couple days apart from each other. Faksi produced a large framed red dun boy (full grey) in DD Tjasse. Flora has proven to be the best first time mother we ever had and were also not disappointed by her adorable brown dun colt DD Ty. Ty has the most adorable head and is super sporty, active and fun. While Tjasse will be replacing his full brother Totilas, Ty will be available to the right home.

First 2023 Dressage show

First 2023 pregnancy confirmed
First 2023 dressage show is in the books and first ever show that we took both, Tsjalle and Gio, who not just competed in the same level, but were also forced to spend the day tied to the trailer with each other. While they were marvelously behaved for grooming, tacking, trailering, they had a lot of energy when it was finally time for their rides. Logistically it make sense to ride different tests with the boys if they are already competing in the same level. Tsjalle really pulled it together in the show ring and placed first with over 64%. Gio did rather the opposite and was super in the warm up, but then tense and fresh in the show ring.
