About the Trainer

Kimberly Frederick grew up in Madison, Wisconsin and fell in love with horses at a young age. She was 11 years old when she bought her first horse, Shiloh, who taught many students here at Foxfield Arabians their fundamentals.

Kim started showing horses in 4-H and fell in love with the style and grace of the Arabians. While she was working at an Arabian breeding Farm, JW Arabians, she bought her first 1/2 Arab, Spanish Sunset, who was just a baby at 6 months of age. Through her college years, she gradually trained “Sunny”, and her love of this amazing breed grew. At that point, she decided to make her passion and her gifts, her job.

After graduating from Michigan State University with a degree in Equine Science and Horse Management, Kim went to work for Fox Hollow Farms. She also worked for Yahara Arabians where she gained further expertise in training horses and purchased another horse, YA Rising Sun.

In 2000, Kim moved to Michigan and started working for Grand Arabians Farm. After a few years, her heart lead her to begin training and giving lessons as a professional. Word spread about her never ending smile and her patience and expertise with the horses, as well as with those training with her. Kim’s business blossomed, and she moved into her first barn. Since then, Foxfield Arabians outgrew that facility and is currently in the beautiful, much larger facility you see here. This is where you can meet Kim as she is working with her growing client list, working to meet their goals.

Kim was married to Jason in June 2004, and have a daughter, Ella, and two sons, Sammy and Landon, who are all greatly loved by the Foxfield family.  Ella is enjoying growing up here!  She has started her showing career by first lead-line, to showing in walk/trot classes at the local and regional level and plans to show her horse Noble Edition CRF, all the way to OKC at AHA Youth Nationals.     Sam and Landon are running around the barn too, putting in the work and sometimes getting a ride in.

Kim’s clients include both amateurs and young riders. Some have their own horses, and some don’t. Many of her students attend shows with their own horses, others share Kim’s horses and enjoy the shows as well. Not all of her clients at Foxfield Arabians attend class A shows and Kim will spend many weekends at WMAHA Community shows as well as open shows, training her new riders along the way. She takes great pride in how her “showstring” has turned out.

In 2024  Ella along side, Foxfield Arabians client, Elena, accomplished many wins at various shows including multiple Top 10’s at Youth Nationals

From the Debut in 2007, Kim has lead many horses and riders to National Wins in Saddle Seat Eq, Showmanship, Sport Horse, and other National accomplishments in many other divisions.

When not planning for shows, she is planning group trail rides , Halloween and Christmas Parties and Horse Camps. Kim also spends her time as Coach for the Caledonia Equestrian Team.

Foxfield Arabians is not only her profession but her family, and a successful one at that!
