The Agent
Thibault de Seyssel
A family passion and international expertise
A story of passion
Thibault de Seyssel grew up surrounded by horses. Son of Arnaud de Seyssel and nephew of Olivier de Seyssel, both Vice-Presidents of France Galop and Le Trot, as well as passionate owner-breeders, he discovered the world of horse racing, stud farms and bloodstock sales from a very young age. This early immersion forged a deep understanding of the racehorse, from physical development to pedigree analysis. Family horses such as Imperiator, Do Re Mi Fa Sol and Tornibush were his first companions in this adventure.
