Our Stallions

Chlans Bravo is a Norwegian Fjord stallion who was imported from Germany as a weanling in 2023. He was chosen for his unique bloodlines, which are not currently available in the United States. Bravo's sire, Bram, is a premium stallion known for his movement, and his dam, Kaija, was a top mare in his breeder's program. As Norwegian Fjords have a closed breed book, it is important to bring in new bloodlines to maintain genetic diversity. Bravo began his breeding career in 2025 and has three mares confirmed in foal for 2026. 

 

He has a semen transport permit and is available for cooled shipped semen in 2026.  We are not offering frozen semen at this time. A limited number of outside mares for live cover will be accepted in 2026.

 

Brave is in professional training through March 1.  He will be started under saddle and begin showing in dressage.  Depending on his talents, we may add eventing and working equitation in future years. 

 

Bravo has an outgoing personality and a steady temperament.

Mosegardens Triton is a Norwegian Fjord stallion with unique bloodlines that were imported from Denmark in 2023. His sire, Hjorthus Zar, is a young stallion beginning his dressage career, and his dam, Mosegardens Lucia, was the top evaluated mare in Denmark at her evaluation. Triton's friendly personality and steady temperament make him an excellent choice for breeding and performance. As Norwegian Fjords have a closed breed book, it is important to bring in new bloodlines to maintain genetic diversity.

​

Triton began his breeding career  in 2025 and has two mares confirmed in foal for 2026. He has a semen transport permit and is available for cooled shipped semen in 2026.  We are not offering frozen semen at this time. A limited number of outside mares for live cover will be accepted in 2026.

 

Triton will begin professional training on March 1.  Like Bravo, he will be started under saddle and begin showing in dressage.  We will assess where his talents lie in performance but we are excited  by his promise.

​

Triton is a kind stallion and very willing to work when asked.

Ironwood Blitzen, a remarkable stallion born on our farm on July 6, 2001. He is the son Gjest, a stallion known for his forwardness, flexibility, and work ethic. Blitzen has shown versatility in riding, driving, and draft performance, completing all NFHR evaluation performance medallions in silver and gold levels. He is one of the few Fjords with the S1, G1 accomplishment in the United States.  Blitzen has finished his NFHR Versatility and Excellence Awards for performance. Recently he added a Hall of Fame designation which means he has at least 5 evaluated offspring who have earned medallions in performance.

​

Blitzen has competed in dressage at Training and First levels. He was the Area II Beginner Novice Champion in eventing in 2010. He has earned a gold medal and a blue ribbon award from USEA.  He has won numerous awards through Commonwealth Dressage and Combined Training Association including the Pony Cup award in dressage in 2021. 

​

Blitzen has an outstanding personality and work ethic.  Blitzen is easy to handle, amiable and quiet. He passes on his good mind and temperament to his offspring.  He throws good movement and an ability to perform.  Nearly all have his foals have matured to 14 hands or taller.

 

Blitzen has a red dun gene, so can produce that color if bred to a mare with the same red dun recessive gene.

​​

Blitzen is only available for on the farm live cover.  We are expecting one foal from him in 2026 as we shift over to our junior stallions.
