Title
Racing Pigeons at Oak Haven Farms
Description
I am writing this so you may learn who we are. We are racing pigeon enthusiasts living in Texas, not far from Dallas in a town called Springtown. Our pigeon lofts are surrounded by luscious acres of greenery in the spring, where most farmers have their horses grazing in the pastures. In the summer it is hot and the grass turns brown and during the winter it is very comfortable. In April 2000, we moved from Canada where we had lived for nearly 30 years.
Before going further I would like to introduce the Peeman family. First my wife, Bea; without her help, I could never have achieved this level of success. Secondly, my two sons, Duncan and Dennis, who both are pigeon fanciers with all their hearts. Both are still living in Canada. Duncan is visiting us very often so he can help me with the running of Oak Haven Farms. Dennis’ wife is Julie and we now have a very nice daughter. They both live in Canada and due to other commitments, they don’t have much time to be with the pigeons but in time they will be back into the sport again.
I was born in Middelharnis Holland, the mecca of racing pigeon fanciers where some of the finest are located. To name a few; first and in my opinion, one of the best lofts ever, is Ko Nipius. He has won more championships in the N.A.B.V.P. ( Nederland Algemene Bond Van Postduiven Houders) than anyone else. Second, Visser-Peeman (my dad, Leen Peeman, with companion Henk Visser). I was lucky to be part of their combination. We were champions of the N.A.B.V.P. in 1957 and a few times in the top five (approx. 40,000 flying members). Third, Kern-de Weerd, again a champion who could win a national on any given day. De Weerd is a close family to the legendary Piet de Weerd. Fourth, Gebr. Vroegindewey, probably the closest friend of Jan Aarden. So when I say, I came from the mecca of racing pigeons, as a pigeon fancier, you would have loved to be in my shoes.
