UNTOUCHABLE FROM BARCELONA

by John Halstead

In 2009, John Halstead won 1st National from Barcelona, 696 miles, with his blue pied cock Untouchable. This fabulous pigeon extricated itself from a convoy of over 27,000 birds, all but a few of whom were heading way over to the east of John’s Dorset home, to lofts in Holland, Belgium and Germany.

Running for nearly an hour and a half, John tells the story of how Untouchable was selected, trained, conditioned and MOTIVATED to strike for home early on in the world’s greatest pigeon race. This is a comprehensive dvd covering feed, feed supplements, tonics, medicine, the value of peanuts, the home environment, the widowhood system, prep races and exercise time around the loft. The dvd costs £25 and can be ordered directly through Elimar by clicking on the Pigeon Racing DVDs logo on the left of this page.
