Huysken Van Riel - Cois Huyskens and Jef Van Riel.
Cois Huyskens and Jef Van Riel established their lofts in the spacious garden of Frank Huyskens, in the Kapelse Steenweg in Ekeren-Donk. Their lofts were started with pigeons from different lofts, and of different strains. In fact. Huyskens-Van Riel have never set forth a complete history of their birds. They were the owners of a strong team of stock birds, all of whose descendants received a name. For some reason or other,the origin of their birds was kept secret. For many years, Joseph Van Den Bosch of Berlaar-Lier, carried a letter around with him all the time, in which was plainly stated, in black and white, that Huyskens-Van Riel had their foundation from Berlaar!
Huyskens-Van Riel's famous stock birds and racers descended from crossings of different strains. One was the "Oude Bleke van 1951" (Old Light One) of the late Henri Verwimp of Ekere, and also the "Blauwe Grijsoog" (The Bleu Grey Eye) of Georges De Jaegher of Melden.
Jef Van Riel:
Jef Van Riel inherited the pigeon fever naturally, from his father, who at the time was a formidable and successful pigeon fancier. The year was 1921; at the outset, he was a specialist in the Quiévrain races. Shortly after this, because of the success he showed in these races, in 1936 he was brought outside the radius of the Mariaburg and the Ekeren clubs. As a result, he decided to measure his strength against the big masters of the Province, who flew against each other regularly in the well-known Union of Antwerp. However, as soon as he showed his prowess there, they closed their boundaries to him. Discouraged by this state of affairs, in the winter of 1937-1938, he disposed of sixty of his pigeons to the De Scheemaker Brothers of Schoten. Some pigeons were also sold to Huyskens of Ekeren, who had already purchased some youngsters from Van Riels's best pairs.
After a period of time, Van Riel discovered that live without his pigeons was practically impossible; greatly disappointed, he did manage to find some consolation from his friend, Cois Huyskens, who assisted him in word and deed. At the suggestion of Huyskens, he bought an entire round of youngsters from Frans Nuyens of Mariaburg, in 1939. That same year, Huyskens himself was corwned with the whole series of exceptionally results. Unfortunately, the start of World War 2 put a temporary end to the proceedings, at this time.
Cois Huyskens :
Huyskens, who was in the pigeon game in 1929, was fortunate enough to be able to hold on to some of his birds during the occupation. Finally, the long-expected liberation came, and the partnership of Huyskens-Van Riel was formed at once. Truly, this was a combination of two master-brains - second to none!
The old strain of the Van Riels was bred down from the birds of the great Vincent Mariën, through Van Wetteren of Antwerp; some were bred from the birds he obtained from Fierens of Deurne; later on, were added birds of the Nuyens strain, and from this mixture, he evolved his own strain.
