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 one of the current leading European trainers Jean-Claude Rouget, Jean-Etienne Dubois or 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.
It included a prolific career as an amateur jockey, experiences with established horsemen across the globe and was followed by roles with the Hong Kong Jockey Club, within the international sale and development dpt., involved in the sourcing of yearlings, the running of the international sale and part of the organisation of the 2014 Asian Racing Conference, and with Magic Millions in Australia as a bloodstock consultant and an international representative. The latest came in a period of skyrocketing growth under the management of Vin Cox
Arthur Hoyeau’s involvement in the development of Woodpark Stud, Australia was pivotal in his choice 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-olds Gr.2 winner, AYLMERTON and several others high class performers in Australasia. In addition to his association with Woodpark Stud, Arthur Hoyeau has been working with industry leaders such as Coolmore, the world's leading thoroughbred operation or the Ecurie des Monceaux, Europe's leading commercial breeder. Among the most other notable successes worlwide to date we can mention horses such as NADAL, FLOTUS, THEWAYIAM, SINGFORTHEMOMENT, RHAPSODY ROSE, AURELIA GARLAND etc. from a limited number of horses selected.
