Future prospectives

The young and dynamic future-oriented family Koehoorn sure enough places a bet on victory. Nearly every week the pigeons are trained over the right distance. Before the first competition (approx. 100 kilometers) the pigeons have already been trained over 150 kilometers,  which means an over-capacity. They are also trained from different directions East, West, South and North. A pigeon must learn to find the right direction quickly on its own. All young birds are set in over 600 kilometers after the last race and they have mostly graduated from ten or eleven competitions. Only pigeons (even young birds) with many prices are kept. Jaap Koehoorn pigeons are not allowed to laze a year. If a pigeon has made top prizes for five or six years, it is taken into breeding for the rest of its life. The oldest pigeon of Jaap Koehoorn is16 years old. Today is the 29th of december 2001 and it is very cold but the breeding pigeons of Jaap are already sitting on their youngster and look topfit. In 2002 the competitors will have to work hard to beat this man.
