Founder, Owner & Investor
Andreas Bardun is the driving force behind the stable, combining business expertise with a lifelong passion for horse racing. As founder, owner, and lead investor, Andreas is committed to building a world-class operation where tradition meets innovation. His vision focuses on developing championship-caliber horses while fostering lasting partnerships with owners and racing enthusiasts.
Driver & Head Trainer
Jonathan Bardun's development as a trotting trainer and driver includes an important chapter in the United States, where he spent two years working with Marcus Melander in a demanding, high-performance trotting environment. The experience gave him valuable exposure to elite routines, daily stable discipline, and race preparation at a high professional level. Since returning to Sweden, he has channelled that international experience into his own operation, helping shape a young stable built on ambition, dedication, and modern thinking.
At Bardun Racing Stable, we believe that champions are made through dedication, expertise, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Every horse in our care receives individualized attention, from world-class training facilities to personalized nutrition and conditioning programs. We don't just race horses — we build legacies.

Training Philosophy
Stall Bardun has chosen Jonathan Bardun and JB Racing Stable as our preferred trainer and driver, because their approach is built on fundamental principles we consider absolutely essential. At Stall Bardun, every decision is made with the horse's wellbeing and long-term development at the centre. We are convinced that a horse that feels safe, healthy, and is allowed to develop at its own pace has the best conditions to perform over time. When the foundation is right, results come naturally.
No two horses are the same. Each horse's programme is built around its own temperament, physiology, and stage of development — never a one-size-fits-all schedule.
We take the time to build genuine fitness and confidence before competition. Rushing a horse into racing before it is ready is never an option here.
Daily welfare checks, careful workload management, and regular veterinary input ensure every horse in the stable is physically sound and mentally content.
We are building careers, not chasing single results. Each race is one step in a longer journey, and the horse's soundness and enjoyment of the sport always comes first.
