Rob Gerrits and his unique training concept at the BONDA Ranch

Since 2023, we are proud to welcome Rob Gerrits as a permanent trainer at BONDA Ranch. Rob came to us for the first time in 2018 and it was immediately clear: his unique way of creating harmony between horse, rider and other trainers is something special. His method is characterized by a great deal of understanding and empathy – for both the needs of the horses and the riders.

Rob has developed his own training principle based on the KISS principle: “Keep it Simple Smooth”. This philosophy relies on clarity and simplicity in communication so that horse and rider can learn and work together with ease and joy.

Since Rob joined our team, our horses have made significant progress. Our first young horses were trained under his sensitive and competent guidance, and he has already successfully presented them at shows. A particular highlight was the success with BR ONE SMOOTH MERADE, which impressively demonstrated what is possible with the right balance of trust, patience and professionalism.
