Arthur Hoyeau
PRINCIPAL | BLOODSTOCK ADVISOR
“I have always been immersed in the breeding and racing industry, and have been surrounded by horses for as long as I can remember. I was lucky to learn from a rich family tradition. I further developed my experience with some outstanding horsemen such as Jean-Claude Rouget, Jean-Etienne Dubois and Vin Cox. They all bring together superior horsemanship, sharp business acumen and networking skills."
Arthur founded Windfield, based between two of the thoroughbred capitals of the world, Lexington, USA and Deauville, France after completion of his university degree and the pursuit of several projects which saw him travelling through Europe, Asia, Australia and the United States.
His experience has included a prolific career as an amateur jockey and experiences with established horsemen across the globe. Arthur worked for the Hong Kong Jockey Club, within the international sale and development department which involved the sourcing of yearlings, running of the international sale and being part of the organisation of the 2014 Asian Racing Conference. Later he worked for Magic Millions in Australia as a bloodstock consultant and as an international representative which coincided with a period of skyrocketing growth under the management of Vin Cox. Arthur’s involvement in the development of Woodpark Stud in Australia was also pivotal and played a major role in inspiring his decision to found Windfield.
Under the leadership of Jean-Etienne Dubois, who himself has deep roots in the United States and Europe, the farm achieved exceptional success very quickly after its establishment in 2015 with both homebred and purchases, led by Gr.1 winner QAFILA , 2 year-old Gr.2 winner, AYLMERTON and several others high class performers in Australasia. Among the most notable successes worldwide to date we can mention horses such as NADAL, RAMATUELLE, FLOTUS, THEWAYIAM, CLASSIC FLOWER etc. from a limited number of horses selected.
