2026 Chrome APHA Member Model Search Grand-Prize Winners
Jennifer Lance
Athens, Ohio
Jennifer Lance has a deep love for Paint Horses that spans decades. Over the past 28 years, Jennifer and her husband, Chris, owned five Paint Horses. From trail riding to cow work, liberty to just watching her horses in the field, Jennifer savors even the smallest joys of owning her Paints. Jennifer describes the breed as “smart, kind, talented [and] beautiful horses.”
Jeremy Rosheisen
Marengo, Illinois
Jeremy Rosheisen is a positive force in the world. Friendly and outgoing, he describes himself as always willing to lend a hand—or an ear—to anyone that needs it. Jeremy’s dedication to his clients, their horses and APHA make him a strong ambassador for the breed.
We are grateful to the 57 members who applied for the 2026 Chrome APHA Member Model Search. After much deliberation, the Chrome staff narrowed the field to 10 finalists. Public voting opened in mid-May to choose the winners, and more than 2,000 votes were cast. Jennifer and Jeremy each receive an expense-paid trip to Fort Worth, Texas, and a starring role in this year’s Chrome Winter Fashion Issue.
As one of APHA’s flagship magazines and the official publication of Mule Alley in the Fort Worth Stockyards, Chrome is distributed to all APHA members and throughout the historic district in Fort Worth, Texas.
Learn more about our two extraordinary members in the Winter 2026 Chrome issue. Applications for the next Model Search open in April 2027; details will be posted on apha.com and APHA’s social media channels.
