Jonathan Bardun

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.

Our Mission

At Bardun Racing Stable, we believe that champions are made through dedication, expertise, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

Training Philosophy

The Horse First. Always.

Every decision at Bardun Stall is made with the horse's wellbeing and long-term potential at the centre. We believe a horse that is happy, healthy, and developed at its own pace will outperform any horse that is pushed before it is ready. Results follow when the foundation is right.

01

Individual Development

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.

02

Patience Over Pressure

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.

03

Welfare as a Standard

Daily welfare checks, careful workload management, and regular veterinary input ensure every horse in the stable is physically sound and mentally content.

04

Long-Term Thinking

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.
