Welcome to the House of Aarden! Enter into the pigeon fancier sweet shop by clicking here Captain Q 1st Section Q U.K. National Flying Club Pau 2020. Grandson to both Padfield’s Iron Lady and De Cas! Team Luscombe and Wright The House Of Aarden is owned and managed by Steve and Lesley Wright, with support from Stud Manager, Race Loft Coordinator and National Champion, Lee Luscombe. Our aim is to purchase the very best long distance pigeons from the very best lofts in Europe and then provide offspring for sale to the market at affordable prices including racing kits of 6. Originally, we started out with the concept of Jan Aarden pigeons only, hence the name House of Aarden, e.g. De Smaragd, Invincible Spirit, etc, but in recent years have expanded this concept to encompass all strains of long distance pigeons competing and winning in the ultimate pigeon racing challenge … The Barcelona International. We have also bought the absolute best that Britain has ever produced by purchasing all the principle racers and breeders from Dave and Vince Padfield and we continue to offer grandchildren and double grandchildren to these great champions to the sport at working mens prices. We are constantly refreshing our stock lofts to keep them up to date with the most recent winning lines so in the past few years we have also built up a super colony of Frans Zwols, Bosman-Leekens, G. & S. Verkerk, and Willem de Bruijn pigeons. We run The House Of Aarden very much on a personal level … so please don’t hesitate to call us for more information about the birds that we keep at the HOA.
