If there is one name in the Belgian pigeon sport that is synonymous with indestructible power and pure speed it is Benny Steveninck from Hamme.

Forget the one hit wonders. Forget the lofts that rely on success from the last century. We are talking about a man who has been dictating the law for two decades and who might have just flown his best season ever in 2025.

The Legend of Chipo: Where It All Began

You cannot talk about Steveninck without bowing to “Chipo”. The story is famous but remains magical. Benny bred no ordinary pigeon he bred a foundation sire. Chipo became 1st Provincial Ace Pigeon and then developed into a golden breeding phenomenon. His genes now dominate the skies generations later. Children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren… they simply fly faster than the rest. Think of icons like “Sun” (1st National Ace Pigeon) and “Fantasia”.

2025: The Year of Total Dominance

Anyone who thought the tank was empty was not paying attention in 2025. Benny and his wife Karin completely outclassed the competition. The Chipo train is not just keeping pace it is moving faster than ever.

Two names must be remembered from this season because they prove the current class:

“Zuko”: A phenomenon. He was crowned 3rd National Ace Pigeon World Best Pigeon All-Round 2025 and can call himself 4th Olympiad Pigeon Yearlings (Dortmund 2026).
“Louis”: The undisputed king of consistency. He became 1st Best Belgian Pigeon on Tulle over the years 2024-2025.

Why I am excited

You guys know me. I am critical and I love winners. If I were into one day races I would know exactly what to do, I would buy a pair right here! This is the kind of pigeon that does not just win when the wind is right but wins because they are physically stronger than the rest.

Now in Auction: Pearls from the Treasure Chamber

An exclusive auction is currently running at EPA Europe. Benny is not selling leftovers here but material you can build a loft on. Just look at this selection:

Lot 1: BE25-4073788 – “Daughter Limo”
Top Exclusive! A direct daughter of “Limo” (1st Best Limoges racer Belgium 2020 and grandfather of Olympiad bird Zuko). The mother is “Ting 17” herself good for 2x 1st Provincial Ace Pigeon KBDB. In short: The very best of the Limoges line coupled with pure Ace Pigeon blood.

Lot 2: BE25-4073748 – “Son Zan I”
Sublime offer. This cock comes directly from the nest brother of Zuko’s father coupled to the mother of “Zuko”. In short: You can barely get closer to the genes of the Olympiad bird Zuko and 1st Prov. Bourges winner than this.

Lot 3: BE25-4073749 – “Son Zan II”
Sublime offer. The nest mate of Lot 2. Again that golden combination: Son Steveninck star “Limo” x Top racing hen “Zan”. In short: The proven Zuko line that guarantees national success.

Lot 4: BE25-4073754 – “Son Louis”
Great Pair! A direct son of the current superstar “Louis” (1st Best Tulle racer Belgium 2024-2025). The mother is a daughter of none other than “Sun” (1st Nat. Ace Pigeon KBDB 2013). In short: The new star Louis crossed with the legendary Sun dynasty.

Lot 5: BE25-4073725 – “Sister Zan”
Sister of Zan! This is a full sister to the pigeon “Zan” (2nd Prov. Argenton and 20th Nat. Ace Pigeon). But more importantly “Zan” is the mother of Olympiad bird Zuko. In short: A granddaughter of “Pepchi” (1st Nat. Chateauroux) and direct family of the absolute top of 2025.

Lot 6: BE25-4073733 – “Sun of Nafi”
Rare genetics. The father is a 1st Prov. Chateauroux winner and son of the world famous “Porsche 911” (PEC) x “Sun” (Steveninck). The mother comes from the line of “Nafi”. In short: A unique cross between the gold of Steveninck and the Porsche line of PEC.
