Bendang Stable: The Legendary Racehorse Breeder from North Sulawesi

SARGA.CO – Behind the thundering hooves of championship racehorses across Indonesia, one name consistently stands out: Bendang Stable. Hailing from the highlands of Minahasa, North Sulawesi, the stable has built a reputation as the cradle of some of Indonesia’s finest racehorses. At the helm is a passionate young figure: Mario Bahar.

As a second-generation horseman, Mario is not only continuing the Bendang legacy but also boldly innovating. Where the stable once focused solely on purchasing horses to compete, Mario has shifted gears, establishing a full-scale breeding and training program of his own.

"I don’t just want our horses to win—I want them to be born and raised by our own hands," says Mario, who has been immersed in the equestrian world since childhood.

Mario’s love for the sport goes far beyond family heritage. He has immersed himself in equine genetics, pedigree tracking, and cutting-edge training methods, equipping himself with the tools to shape true champions.

Unafraid to get his hands dirty, Mario learns directly from experts and works side-by-side with his horses in the stables. For him, these animals aren’t just competitors—they’re family.

A Legacy of Victory
Hard work pays off. Over the past few years, Bendang Stable has clinched a string of prestigious wins that showcase the caliber of its horses:

  • 2024: Champions at the Jateng Derby, Piala Mahkota Series I, and Pertiwi Cup
  • 2023: Victories at the 57th PORDASI National Championship for the President’s Cup, Governor’s Cup of West Sumatra, and the Jogja Derby for the Sultan HB X Cup
  • 2022: Winner of the National Championship Susi Air Cup Nusantara Derby

A Fleet of Champions

Behind these triumphs are standout horses that carry the Bendang banner with pride: Surya Nagari, Suko Nagari, Sukma Nagari, Sunspear Nagari, Minasari, Sakura Nagari, Lyana Nagari, Princess Theatre, and Balerion Nagari. More than just stable residents, they are stars of the track, lighting up Indonesia’s racing circuits.

Today, Bendang Stable is no longer just a name from North Sulawesi—it’s a symbol of grit, long-term vision, and youthful ambition to elevate Indonesian horse racing to global standards.
