About us
With years of experience in the Arabian horse world and a wide international network of breeders and buyers, Arabian Sales Europe is the gateway between dedicated breeders and serious overseas buyers.
We believe that exceptional Arabian horses can come from breeders of any size. Our role is to recognise their potential, present them professionally and connect them with the right buyers and markets around the world.
Our combined experience in Arabian horses, international sales, marketing and business development allows us to offer more than simply a sales service. We understand the horses, the people and the international markets behind every transaction.
Jan Lemmens
Jan Lemmens brings extensive hands-on experience in the training, showing and development of Arabian horses. Over the years, he has worked with horses and clients in Europe, the United States and the Middle East and has developed a strong understanding of what it takes to prepare an Arabian horse for the international show ring.
Jan has run his own training center for show horses and has worked for and alongside several renowned names in the Arabian horse industry, including Sahara Scottsdale, Frank Spönle Training Center and Schoukens Training Center, as well as Jadem Arabians, Flaxman Arabians and Arabian Stud Europe.
His experience has given him a trained eye for quality, movement, type, presentation and show potential. More importantly, years of working directly with horses have taught him to look beyond a pedigree or a photograph and recognize the qualities that make an Arabian horse truly stand out.
Within Arabian Sales Europe, Jan is closely involved in the selection, preparation and presentation of horses. His practical knowledge and international experience allow us to assess horses from both a training and a commercial perspective, helping breeders and buyers understand not only what makes a horse attractive today, but also where its potential may lie for the future.

Our Philosophy
At Arabian Sales Europe, we do not believe in selling horses to just anyone. We believe in finding the right match.
For the breeder, this means finding a buyer who appreciates the quality and potential of their horse. For the buyer, it means having access to carefully selected horses and honest, knowledgeable guidance throughout the process.
Our goal is to build long-term relationships, create successful partnerships and bring exceptional Arabian horses to the right people, wherever they are in the world.
