The origin, the game, the loft, the love of long distance and...THE PERSONAL LEGEND

BUILD HIS PERSONNAL LEGEND :


“The personal legend” is a quote from the book The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo, the famous book with 150 million copies sold, translated into 80 languages ​​and 115 awards worldwide.


The hero of the book, a young teenager, goes on a journey in search of finding his personal legend. “The personal legend is what we have always wanted to do. What we are destined to do. Each of us, in our early youth, knows what our personal legend is.

The closer you get to your dream, the more the “Personal Legend” becomes the true reason for living.”


The legend of Thierry HARDY is .....BARCELONA !


In racing pigeon, every fancier is in search of his or her personal legend. To do this, each enthusiast must give meaning to the attention he gives to his couriers.

What means do I want to give myself ? What is my commitment to my colony? How involved am I in my passion ? What place do my pigeons take in my life ? What goal do I want to give myself ? In which competition would I like to shine ? a championship ? a classic ? To succeed, knowing what you want to play is essential !

Being a pigeon fancier is ultimately means being in search of your personal legend.


Anyone who knows Thierry HARDY knows that these fancier is fanatic by BARCELONA and by the long distance pigeons capable of shining in the deep distance. Many pigeon fancier swear by the basket. Thierry HARDY, it is by the basket and also by "the trans-Pyrenean super pigeon standard".


Thierry HARDY is in perpetual search of the pigeon with superior abilities with always, always and only.........BARCELONA as his horizon.


MEETINGS :


The Thierry HARDY's big meeting is that of the great Flandrian champion Roger FLORIZOONE from NIEUWPOORT in Belgium. Thierry will bring 13 pigeons from Roger FLORIZOONE. All related to Witneus, Dax and Barcelona Florizoone, the super stars of NIEUWPOORT (B). All these pigeons are very significant in the pigeon loft at BUSIGNY 59.


Then Thierry HARDY became friends with Jean-Pierre PRUVOT from FONSOMME (FR) in Aisne (french aera). A lover of the beautiful game and long-distance pigeons. These two amateurs speak the same language and they understand each other perfectly. They share the same codes, the same rites. Those of the long distance pigeon. Several pigeons will make the trip to BUSIGNY (FR). Thierry HARDY will, for the most part, take only good things from the greatest European origins present at Jean-Pierre PRUVOT loft.


THE TEAM LEADERS IN BUSIGNY 59 - FRANCE :


Of these 13 FLORIZOONE pigeons, three pigeons are currently very successful at Busigny 59 - (FR). The CORIN which is no longer fertile but whose several sons and daughters are in place in the breeding and widowers lofts.


All the youngters from CORIN who form the Barcelona playing team ranked in this competition. CORIN is the 1st national Barcelona France 2013 and the 27th international Barcelona.


PERPIGNAN, 1st national and 3rd international Perpignan 2005 of 17834 pigeons. A difficult, ultra-selective competition. 809 kilometers in BOHAIN EN VERMANDOIS (So in BOHAIN in Aisne before he moved to BUSIGNY) and a speed of 1021 m/m. All other competitors with 3-digit speeds below 1000 m/m. On the menu for this competition ? : upwind from release until arrival in the evening in the French area Haut de France and Benelux countries. The international victory went to Twan BONGERS from Odiliapeel (NL) with a female on the nest. Perpignan is a direct son of the basic female: “LA FLORIZOONE”.

Perpignan is "THE" patriarch of the colony of Busigny FR. He is the figurehead, the base, the foundations, the standard, the spearhead of Busigny. The PERPIGNAN is found everywhere. In the same year 2005, MARSEILLE will also be, like PERPIGNAN, an excellent vintage : 6:36 p.m. (11/18) - 6:59 p.m. (16/18) - 7:20 p.m. (4/18) - 7:26 p.m. (17/18) - 7:43 p.m. (15/18) - 7:45 p.m. (7/18) - 7:59 p.m. (3/18) - 8:32 p.m. (1/18) - 8:47 p.m. (6/18) - 9:06 p.m. (9/18) - 7:45 a.m. (13/18) - 9:13 a.m. (8/18) - 09:53 (2/18) - 09:57 (18/18)


The CHAMPION, wonderful bird. A crack at the three returns the same evening as the PERPIGNAN classic and the top 100 in BARCELONA. A true standard, a super mold. Flying 826 kilometers in BUSIGNY (59) - France, in 2013 at the age of one he ranked in PERPIGNAN with a 574th national, recorded at 9:14 p.m. Then the CHAMPION gets injured and Thierry HARDY will give him several years of rest. He is then put back into the fight and to the great joy of his owner he will achieve a 63rd national BARCELONA 2017, a 10th national and 41st international BARCELONA 2018. He will achieve three Top 100 nationals in BARCELONA. In PERPIGNAN he will return three times the same evening of the release.

Direct daughter of the 1st national and 3rd international PERPIGNAN 2005. Her offspring will be auctioned on December 16, 2023.





















THE CAPACITY TO SELECT :


I will not say that Thierry HARDY knows how to detect the capabilities of each pigeon held in his hands. But by playing internationals for several decades, by visiting lofts with high potential, by going to amateurs scoring very early on internationals, Thierry HARDY has forged "a look", "a vision" that we can in reality name EXPERIENCE.


His outlook, his experience, his vision of the game and his selection...four words that take on their full meaning about this BARCELONA INTERNATIONAL 2023: 8 out of 8 prizes.


BARCELONA 2023: 9:37 p.m. - 6:42 a.m. - 7:50 a.m. - 8:49 a.m. - 9:12 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. - 10:15 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. -

8 OUT OF 8. A TOTAL SUCCESS


This hand allows him to have a lot of fun at the three most rendez vous events on the international calendar : BARCELONA, MARSEILLE and PERPIGNAN. Competitions whose temperatures make them more and more demanding.

And we can't say that he lacks this ability to identify the good and the less good is not a quality of Thierry HARDY.


This trans-Pyrenean super standard will be available for everyone's enjoyment on Saturday December 16, 2023 at the Renault garage in SOLESMES 59730 - France. Between 20 and 25 super standard pigeons straight from the trans-Pyrenean cracks of Thierry HARDY will be presented at public auction.


Each of us, with this origin from BARCELONA built by Thierry HARDY, will be able, on December 16, 2023 at SOLESMES 59 - France, to continue to forge YOUR PERSONAL LEGEND
