Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum

Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum (born 26 December 1969) is an American-born German equestrian who competes at the international level in show jumping.

As a young-adult, Michaels-Beerbaum studied political science at Princeton University, continuing to compete during her college years.

She then went to train in Germany with Paul Schockemöhle in 1991, planning to remain only for a summer, which eventually turned into a permanent stay.

She was born in Los Angeles, California, and is the daughter of film director Richard Michaels and actor Kristina Hansen.

Through her marriage, Michaels-Beerbaum is also sister-in-law to Ludger Beerbaum, who has won multiple Olympic and championship medals in show jumping.
