Kara Frerichs, DVM

Dr. Kara Frerichs grew up in Underwood, Iowa with a lifelong passion for horses which led to pursuing a career in veterinary medicine. Starting riding at the age of 6, her equine experience involves a variety of disciplines from showing Arabians, ride and tie endurance events, to representing Iowa as Miss Rodeo Iowa 2013 and working in the test barn at the Prairie Meadows racetrack. 

 A bluejay at heart, she completed her bachelor’s degree in biology at Creighton University.  She attended veterinary school at Iowa State University graduating May of 2017.  She will be completing a 1 year internship at Nebraska Equine to further specialize in equine medicine.  

Outside of horses she enjoys running, camping, and spending time with her husband, Eli, and daughter, Gwenyth. Her family also includes two cats, Prince William and Kate, and two Arabians, Baby and Tio. She is looking forward to getting to know all of the clients and their horses this year!
