Martin De Poorter, new in the Röhnfried Racing Team. I got
in contact with Martin at the end of 2010, when we organised
his auction of heavy middle distance racers. Already
back then, he was the owner of top racers including an NPO
winner from Argenton. At that time, he was scoring top results
such as:
1 st Argenton against 3,007 pigeons
1 st NPO Beckingen against 4,852 pigeons
1 st Peronne against 8,473 pigeons
1 st Pommeroeul against 3,815 pigeons
1 st Pommeroeul against 4,555 pigeons
1 st NPO Mantes la Jolies against 8,049 pigeons.
Sluis is situated in the west corner of Holland, not far from the
border with Belgium. In 2010, he sold a large part of his pigeons
because he was moving. He stayed in Sluis, but moved
to the edge of the city where he had more possibilities and
enough space to build a loft in the garden. Before, he raced
his pigeons from a loft above the garage.
A young enthusiast man, who wanted to participate in long
distance, is how we can describe Martin de Poorter. Now,
some 7 years later, he is among the top in the long distance
races in Holland and with a rather small team of racers at that.
He already won 1st National St. Vincent with his Rainman in
2013. Since then he focuses completely on the international
races.
Levi: NL 08-1438715
1 st National St. Vincent ZLU 2013 against 2,343 pigeons
5 th International against 10,944 pigeons
4 th National St. Vincent 2010 against 5,336 pigeons
128 th National St. Vincent 2012 against 4,858 pigeons
205 th National Cahors 2011 against 7,305 pigeons
317 th National Perpignan 2012 against 5,607 pigeons
This bird raced in the loft of Aad Kuyt and was later bought by
Martin together with AP Overwater and Piet de Vogel. At this
moment, Levi is to be found in the lofts of Gerard Koopman,
where the 1st NPO winner of Orange 2017 is already a grandchild
of Levi.
These 3 top pigeons form the stock. They have been inbred
and well selected, inbreed products in the breeding loft and
crossbred with other bloodlines. By using this system, he has
created his own lines, which he can handle much better. In
each pair, you find the blood of these stock pigeons and he
crosses them with lineage of winners.
Some top results of the past few years – Heavy long
distance:
Agen 2014 yearlings against 4,379 pigeons: 9, 140, 155, 156,

Agen 2016 against 4,679 yearlings: 101, 131, 184, 200 (13 of

462, 543 (10 of 13 at home on the first day)
How does Martin do all that?
After Perpignan, the racing team breeds a couple of youngsters,
then they move to the open aviaries in front of the lofts
(from September until March 1st). The birds remain in the
aviaries day and night, and the hens and cocks stay together
all winter long, they are not separated. During the moulting
period, he uses a lot of Taubengold and the birds can take
a bath regularly, to which he adds the Röhnfried Badesalz.
On March 1st, the windows of the lofts are opened again and
the birds can pair. The racing team can sit on the eggs for the
incubation period and afterwards , they are separated for a
brief period and trained on widowhood. >>
