511. 2026 USEF Medal Finals Judges Jen Bauersachs & Geoff Teall by Taylor, Harris Insurance Services
Jen Bauersachs is one of the most respected hunter riders and horsemen in the country, and together with her husband, Rolf, she owns and operates Spring Hill Farm in Frenchtown, New Jersey. With a specialty in developing young horses, the Bauersachs produce high-level, winning hunters and jumpers that consistently make their mark at the East Coast's most prestigious competitions.
Under Jen's guidance, Spring Hill Farm has become known for producing champions and grand champions across the professional, amateur, and junior hunter divisions at shows such as the Devon Horse Show, the Washington International Horse Show, the Pennsylvania National, the Hampton Classic, and Old Salem Farm. Her own record in the ring reflects that same consistency at the highest levels. Among her many highlights, Bauersachs was champion in the High Performance Conformation Hunter division at the Winter Equestrian Festival aboard Another Love, sweeping the model and under saddle en route to top honors in the grand hunter ring; earned top results at the Capital Challenge with Blink; and led the victory gallop in the $10,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby at the Saratoga Women in Business Spectacular aboard Minturn Mile.
Known for her patient, correct approach and her eye for a quality horse, Bauersachs has built a reputation not only as a top competitor but also as a trusted developer of talent — both equine and human. Her expertise has increasingly carried into the judge's box as well; she was selected to officiate the USEF Hunter Seat Medal Final at the 80th Pennsylvania National Horse Show, one of the sport's most coveted judging assignments.
Based in New Jersey with a winter season in Wellington, Florida, Bauersachs continues to ride, train, and produce top hunters at the sport's premier events.

Horses and riders he has developed have earned championships, medals, and ribbons at the sport's most prestigious events, including Devon, the ASPCA Maclay Finals, the Capital Challenge, the Pennsylvania National, the Washington International, the USET Talent Search, and the National Horse Show.

Together with co-author Piper Klemm, Dyball created the beloved Show Strides series — middle-grade equestrian novels originally published by The Plaid Horse and now reissued by Andrews McMeel Universal — which has earned multiple Equus Awards for equestrian fiction. Her middle-grade novel Good Boy, Eddie won a Purple Dragonfly Award, and she collaborated with top trainers Carleton and Traci Brooks on With Purpose: The Balmoral Standard. Her picture books include B Is for Bellies: A Celebration of Every Body, named Best Read Aloud in the Bookstagram Best of 2023, and Fiona and the Peculiar Praise.

She launched her ghostwriting career in 2008 and has since given voice to a range of celebrity-driven memoirs and autobiographies, including projects with Terry Crews and Rebecca King Crews, Andrea Barber, and fashion designer Christian Siriano, along with The ADHD Field Guide for Adults.

510. Harold Chopping by Taylor, Harris Insurance Services
Harold Chopping has built his career around developing young horses and competing at the upper levels of the sport. Originally from Ontario, Canada, Harold grew up on a farm where horses quickly became a major part of his life. His early years included everything from riding inexpensive horses with his sister and building their own cross-country jumps to eventually receiving formal training with John Weir at Joker’s Hill.
As a junior, Harold gained international experience competing on team trips to Mexico and Cuba, along with provincial teams and Young Riders classes. Those early opportunities helped shape his approach to competition and prepared him for a professional career in the equestrian industry.
After moving to the United States, Harold continued pursuing top-level competition and eventually established his training base in Southern Pines, North Carolina, where he has been based for the past 20 years. Today, much of his work focuses on developing young horses, particularly 4- and 5-year-olds, and building them from their earliest training through the show ring.
With decades of experience riding, training, competing, and evaluating horses, Harold has seen firsthand how the sport has evolved. His approach emphasizes preparation, patience, confidence, and understanding the increasingly athletic and sensitive horses produced through modern breeding.

Plaidchat: Elizabeth Letts, Three Mares, and Cara Cheska

Elizabeth Letts

Elizabeth shares how her lifelong connection to Morocco and her love of horses influenced the novel, which follows an Arabian mare taken from the Sultan’s palace to France during World War I.
