Ep Poelman | Harco Poelman

Combinatie Poelman from Erica consists Ep Poelman (62), married with two children. He is on the basis of the Black Power pigeons. Harco Poelman is 35 years old, married and no children. He runs his own company in website management and owns the website www.duivenvlucht.nl. Since 2008 he is an integral part of the Combinatie as a site manager and PR man behind the scenes.

Ep Poelman was raised among the pigeons. The son of one of the largest pigeon champions of the last century in Drenthe - Erica, comrade, milkman and father Roef Poelman, the best teacher ever. In those years Ep got an invite of the combination G. Doek & son to be their counselor of the loft. In no time this combination was champion. The competition was not to fear, Think of men like G.Koopman and son and Harm Vredeveld. Legendary are the performances of the "44" and "45" which were driven by Ep to great heights. They won everything they wanted to win!

After some years Ep started on his own again. Within a short time successes came back . A result from Bourges is still in our memory. 13 and 13 with price, which was 1 in the association and the first 20 minutes in front to the second. And it was not an easy flight, more than 12 hours competition time. And then of course the NL97-5751203 flew a first price including a first in the Division of Orleans and North Fond Club. And then of course 1996-4306736, which won a first Orleans in the Fondclub as a yearling, that one was purchased by Gerard Koopman and immediately he won the first middle distance and a first NPO price. A known saying of Ep itself "if one is not there, the other ones will". Some superbirds were born on this loft like "Superace 660" was first * PROV. ACE AFD. F 1996 * The first Ace Circle Veen Region in 1996 * The second Ace Circle Veen Region 1995. Then offcours the worldfamous "Black Power" won 1st Etampes - d. 2065 (581 km). And many-many-many more...

Due personal circumstances in the family Ep had a forced sale in 1997. It shows the fancier Ep Poelman that, because of grief over the forced sale that he was not present that day. Many fanciers famous fanciers came over to buy these superbrids. Gerard Koopman bought the "Black Power" and the brothers Leideman, Harm Vredeveld and Foppe van der Meer were moving along. Foppe van der Meer bought the " Superas 660" and raised the very best from him. He gave many extra birds including "Shaquile" (2 x teletext) "the 620" (2 x 1st in big) and grandfather of the fourth best cock in the Netherlands 2007. And sister of the "Superas 660" was grandmother of one of the best pigeons Pigeons ever he had in its possession, "The Three Bander".

After this successful period, Ep had no pigeons for a longtime. Until he returned to live in Erica, next to an old neighbor with pigeons known Jos van der Kolk. After some discussion Ep became the caretaker of the loft of Jos van der Kolk. The successes came back soon. Jos his focus was on the long distance (overnight)
