Haesen Ludo & Kurt – Fantastic on the Spanish Classic in 2019 with 4 x TOP 100 National

28 Mar 2020

Who can shine on Barcelona year after year has to possess an iron strong colony. In Zoutleeuw there is a colony from father and son that scores really high year after year on this Spanish classic. Ludo and son Kurt run this colony together and 2019 was again a really though edition for the pigeons but those who can score 4 x Top 100 national on this race can only dream of a national victory. The pigeons can do it and their dream will come true once. For this colony in Zoutleeuw they will only have a chance in 2020 and 2021 to shine here, after that a new colony will be started up at the house of son Kurt in Sint-Truiden and they will race over there on the name Jense Haesen. 

Strain 

In the nineties Emiel and Jean-Luc Kabergs won the 1st National with a pigeon that came from the colony of Robert & Ludo Haesen. They got this at top colony Catrysse. This bloodline is still present on the lofts in Zoutleeuw as the  “BE 09-2368979” Simba is an off spring where children off still did super in 2019. Afterwards they went looking for pigeons that could race top on Barcelona, they went to our Northern neighbours and went to Wim Muller and Jean Haussoul.  Searching, breeding a lot and selecting was the job. The results became better and better and in 2005 2 children of super boy  “Rivaldo” from Etienne Devos to Vlaams Brabant. One of them grew out to be a real super breeding hen namely “BE 06-3000713” Jamelia. 

Next to this they looked at it that you don't always have to buy pigeons but sometimes it is better to co-breed with friends and couple super to super which they also did with Eric Herbots, Jean-Luc Kabergs and Nouwen Paesen ( Favorit 83 who is a real super breeder). They also went shopping with this last colony at the sale of Henri Vanneste so both colonies could benefit of this.  

Now after a few years the breeding loft was diminished a bit and only the best of the best can stay. Pigeons that show their quality on Barcelona or as a yearling can stay and then they look at parents, children, brothers or sisters. So their strain becomes even stronger.
