Hok Sapin from Incourt maintains its high level of National Ace pigeons and Olympiad pigeons

When we drive towards Incourt in Wallonia, we already know what time it is, we are going to visit sprint virtuoso Denis Sapin. He has been playing at the highest level for more than 20 years, but the level has risen enormously in recent years. Year after year he succeeds in breeding Ace pigeons and placing himself among the best in the sprint at national level. Many of these pigeons are due to the “Gouden Koppel”, but the breeding loft is also of a very high level. In addition, his pigeons are not only fast, but they can also compete with the other pigeons in national races of 500 km. Class at speed and participating with the same kind of pigeons over 500km is something few of us are given.

The new top breeders are now mainly “Romeo”, “Antoine”, “Samuel”, “Morgane”, ... who were mainly proven top racers and who are now each proving themselves in the breeding loft. The younger toppers are mainly “Victor” and “Lisa” - …

These pigeons are doing very well both in Belgium and in the Far East, where we as a Herbots company have heard several times that they have been successful with these pigeons.
