Fernando Laffon Lomba Appointed Etreham Commercial And Bloodstock Director

Fernando Laffon Lomba has been appointed the commercial and bloodstock director for Haras d'Etreham. His mission will be to strengthen relationships with owners, breeders, and partners, support the commercial activity of the stallions, and actively contribute to the stud farm's development.

Previously, he worked in the bloodstock and nominations department at Lane's End Farm in America, and is currently in Australia at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale.

“We are delighted to welcome Fernando to the Etreham team. His expertise, network, and dynamism perfectly align with our values and ambitions,” said Nicolas de Chambure. “His arrival marks a new stage in the development of our organization, allowing us to embark on new projects. Franck Champion remains head of the National Hunt division.”

Added Laffon Lomba, “I am very happy and honored to join Haras d'Etreham alongside Nicolas de Chambure and his team. Etreham is not only a leading name in French breeding, but also a major player internationally, thanks to the quality of its partnerships and its comprehensive vision of the industry. This stud farm has a long history of excellence, to which I am particularly attached because of the historical and familial link between my family, through my great-grandfather Alec Head, and that of Roland de Chambure.

“Back from Australia, I am delighted to meet the breeders, support them in their breeding decisions, and actively contribute to the development of the bloodstock and partnerships, both in France and internationally.”
