Arabian Expressions is an internationally renown Marketing and Training company. We specialize in Buying & selling horses in the U.S. and around the Globe. We show Arabian horses on behalf of clients from around the world. We also manage stallions and care for broodmares. We are located in the heart of the Arabian horse mecca, Scottsdale Arizona.
Arabian Expressions grew quietly and steadily, and eventually, the client base began to change. Knowles was able to find horses for his own clients to buy, and people who bought from him also wanted him to show their horses. And then ..."We stumbled across a horse named Magic Dream," says Knowles, "and that gave us international presence and notoriety. He just took off. We went to Scottsdale with his first seven babies, and all seven of them were Top Ten. We turned around after the morning session and there were a hundred people there, waiting to buy breedings. As they say, the rest is history."
The exposure that came with standing Magic Dream was a boon for Arabian Expressions. People from around the globe came to see the striking, black-bay stallion and his get, and Knowles built relationships with those people - relationships that have been maintained to this day. This is a perfect illustration of one of Arabian Expressions' central tenets of marketing success - follow-up and the maintenance of relationships. Stagnation is a maleficent force for a business, and Arabian Expressions has avoided it, staying vital and fresh. A big transition for the farm was the move from Washington to Arizona; Knowles says that it helped to make Arabian Expressions even stronger.
Readiness is truly tested at the U.S. Nationals, and over the past four years, Arabian Expressions has not only passed the test - they have all but re-written it. Not one, not two, not three - four U.S. National Champion Yearling Fillies in a row. It's a feat that has never been accomplished in Arabian halter competition before.
Four years, four horses, four different sets of judges; the word "extraordinary" fails to adequately describe the achievement. How is it possible? "I think you could say it's a testimonial to our commitment," says Knowles. "Our commitment to excellence, and our commitment to safely take care of the babies. It's also our ability to
pick them and be absolutely honest with ourselves, first and foremost."
