Aerts Jeremy and his son Nathan have the passion for pigeons since a young age, and they already play at home under the name Aerts-Vanhelmont. This tandem achieves numerous first prizes and excellent results every year! Now, son Jeremy and grandson Nathan aim to equal these accomplishments.
Last Sunday marked Jeremy and Nathan's very first time participating in an official competition with the young pigeons, flying from Momignies. For this race, they basketed 15 young pigeons, competing against 20 other fanciers who, together with them, entered a total of 289 young pigeons.
On Saturday, July 22nd, the pigeons were released at 8:10 AM from Momignies, and with anxious anticipation, Jeremy and Nathan watched how their young pigeons would perform. However, with the remarkable lineage of the Aerts-Vanhelmont pigeons, they already have a bloodline that has proven to excel in speed races.
The moment of triumph came when they clocked their first young pigeon at 9:25.08 AM, achieving a speed of 1609.2857 meters per minute. This result immediately secured a glorious victory against 289 young pigeons. Jeremy & Nathan had a dream start, securing a victory straight from Momignies! As icing on the cake, their second clocked pigeon also claimed an impressive 3rd place, with a total of 7 out of 15 entered pigeons achieving prizes!
This accomplishment is undoubtedly something Jeremy & Nathan can be very proud of, and naturally, the parents and grandparents will be immensely proud of the performance of son Jeremy and grandson Nathan. The future of Aerts Jeremy & Nathan looks promising, and this new young talent will surely be one to watch out for!
