Born in Lunteren, in the heart of the Netherlands, Rob grew up in a family with two children. He started riding horses about 30 years ago. At his 16th he bought his first horse together with his parents. For over more than 20 years Rob is involved in presenting horses on horse shows and present in the vaulting world. Rob studied in Arnhem at the HEAO, direction EL (international businesses.) He worked from his 24th at an insurance company, did some modeling work, worked at a banking company and together with Bjorn, his favorite brother, at their plastic distribution company. After some years of working as a product manager at a software company in Amsterdam, Rob decided to choose for a new adventure. Since 2004 he lives in Normandy (France), with his wife and son Tomáš, where he manages a horse farm of 10 hectares near Deauville: Haras de la Bouteillerie.
In St Etienne la Thillaye he prepares horses for horse shows, breaks young horses and sells and breeds Friesian- and KWPN horses all over the world. Next to that he offers traineeships for people interested in the equestrian world and for vaulters. On our contact page you will find details about 'le hollandais volant'.
