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 and Siljar for outside mares via live cover. We are not shipping fresh chilled semen in 2023 on any of our stallions. Gio, Tsjalle and Malibu will not be available for outside mares! 2022/2023 will be their last breeding season before being exclusively riding horses.
Check back regularly for exciting developments!

New home for Cygnet
DD Malibu (Prince Maximus Sur Mer x Ironwood Helena by OH Wynn) has returned to Dungård! While he can certainly not deny who his parents are, we are very excited to watch him grow and develop. Malibu was Helena's first foal in late 2020 and will be breeding some of our mares in 2023.

Tsjalle and Denise went with the LGF team to the USDF GAIG and the NW Rainier Championships. After a good but rushed test on Thursday with lot's of energy, the pair had a super ride on Friday, placing them 7th (of 17) overall for the NW Rainier Championship. The test on Friday was scored with over 68%.
On Sunday the pair had a solid test in USDF GAIG, but the judges had very different opinions about the test, so that the pair didn't place. The judge at B placed them in 3rd with almost 68%, but since the combined score of 64% only counts, they didn't receive placing. Oh well.
Overall we had a super fun (thanks to the LGF team!)and educational week. Huge thank you to Betty Findley for all the support and coaching for Tsjalle's and Denise' biggest event so far. Tsjalle has been super good in the stall and around the other horses, so good that others didn't realized that he was a stallion.

Abigail and Gio also qualified for the Regional Eventing Championship held at Aspen Farm in Yelm, WA. The pair had the best dressage test ever, putting them into 2nd place with 25.8p! On Saturday, the whole LGF team came up to watch and cheer for Abi and Gio. They had a fantastic double clear cross country round and were still holding on to 2nd place. On Sunday, they had a lovely stadium jumping round, however the distance and maybe Gio's effort wasn't quite there at the last jumps causing 2 rails to fall. Nonetheless, again it was a super show and outing for Abi and Gio. Abi was really happy with our red head and that is most important.
