Eijerkamp-Paalman is heading towards the end of the season in grand style.
This year, Arnold Paalman participated in the racing competitions under the name Eijerkamp-Paalman, a collaboration with Hans and Evert Jan Eijerkamp.
Many yearlings participated in the racing competitions because Arnold had just moved and essentially started anew. It quickly became evident that he was no newcomer, judging by the fantastic results achieved.
The results were sometimes overwhelming, with large numbers of pigeons at the top of the leaderboard against a considerable number of pigeons.
This trend continued on the second-to-last racing event of the 2023 season.
With 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 15, 43, 44, 56, 57 etc. provincially Mettet (243km) against 12,148 pigeons, the result was once again phenomenal.
The first pigeon was a young bird NL23-9082638NL23-9082638 "Spurky Haas", bred from Arnold's own pigeons.
The second was NL22-7073658NL22-7073658 "Minty", bred from NL16-1255069NL16-1255069 "Chémilio" x Xenon"Xenon".
"Chémilio" is a grandson of Fabio"Fabio", a great breeding pigeon, and "Claudio Ché". the 1st National ACE Pigeon Yearlings Allround WHZB.
Xenon"Xenon" is a daughter of Tanguy"Tanguy" (G&S Verkerk) and a fantastic breeding pigeon and (grand)father of several first prize winners against large numbers of pigeons.
