Anyone who has won an Olympiad pigeon 4 times with their young pigeons and several National Ace pigeons since 2017 until now is simply one of the best young pigeon colonies available. 

In 2017 it started with “Het Olympiadeke” 3rd Olympiad pigeon young pigeons, 2 years later superstar “Wout” was born, 2nd Olympiad pigeon young pigeons Poznan 2019. That same year “White Man” won his 2nd Ace pigeon title in the sprint. He became 12th National Ace Pigeon speed yearlings KBDB in 2018 and 3rd National Ace Pigeon speed old birds in 2019 and 1st World Ace Pigeon FCI Speed ​​Belgium. A superstar of stature who was then referred to the breeding loft. The year later in 2021 it was a complete success with “Olympic Rico” who brought several ace pigeon titles to Kuringen. In detail, this means that “Olympic Rico” became 1st National Ace Pigeon Sprint KBDB due to his super season in 2020, after which he became 1st Nat Olympiad Pigeon Olympic Hope Cat.F KBDB 2020 and World's Best Ace Pigeon FCI Sprint (olds, yearlings and youngsters together) 2020 This last title not only counts for Belgium but also for all countries that participated in this competition. Or the highest of the highest that “Olympic Rico” could win. So he is even stronger than his father and “Rico” ensures the greatest success and is now in the breeding loft at the Herbots home.
