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.
Check back regularly for exciting developments!

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.
DD Vivian (Siljar x Vikkelesoe's Kunst by Max) is confirmed in foal to Kian Klattrup. Vivian is a young maiden mare who took on her first cycle with a 22 year old stallion - we love our homebred fillies!
Congratulations to Ashley Ralph, who is the owner of this new nugget.
What a better Anniversary present than a new baby horse!? Megan gifted us a with a stunning white dun colt by Siljar on our special day and we decided to name Skål (Norwegian for Cheers). Skål is possibly the biggest foal we ever had. He seems to be build super uphill, has long legs with big joints and a well shaped neck. We are excited to see how he matures!
We are thrilled to add a new beauty to our breeding program! Welcoming "Tuppen" a red dun daughter of our stallion Tsjalle and out of Kervan Farm's Elleah (Mogly x Felix). Tuppen will be three years old this year and we are planning on breeding her this year to Siljar. She is traveling down from Whitehorse, YK with her dam.
Congratulations to Judy Brescia on her purchase of our consignment gelding Delling. Delling was sold before he even made it to DDungard. We are super happy for the pair and can't wait to hear about their new adventures together.
Congratulations to Christine Hurst on her purchase of DD Hazel (Gio x Ironwood Helena by OH Wynn). Christine comes from a Fjord family as her sister is Helena's breeder. Christine has started her own breeding program in Texas and as part of it she is the proud owner of DD Silvianna (Tsjalle x Silvia by Frederik Skova), who produced a couple Gio colts for Christine in the last years.
We can't be more excited for Hazel to get such a fantastic home, and for Christine to finally get her Gio filly.
