Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum (born 26 December 1969 in Los Angeles) is an American-born German equestrian who competes at the international level in show jumping.
Born in Los Angeles, the daughter of film director Richard Michaels grew up riding ponies and had a successful career as a Young Rider, both in equitation and in show jumping. As a young-adult, Michaels-Beerbaum studied political science at Princeton University, continuing to compete during her college years despite a serious accident in 1991 leaving her with two broken wrists. 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. First she decided to buy the training center in Balve. Following her marriage to the well-known German show jumper Markus Beerbaum in 1998, she changed her citizenship. She is also sister-in-law to Ludger Beerbaum, who has won multiple Olympic medals in show jumping.
Her past and current top horses include Shutterfly, Checkmate, Stella, and Quick Star.
