About Anna Jane

Excerpted from Winning: A Training and Showing Guide for Hunter Seat Riders

Anna Jane White-Mullin started riding in Atlanta, Georgia, when she was five years old. At age thirteen, she began competing in large horse shows on the East Coast, winning the junior hunter and equitation championships at many noteworthy shows, including Ox Ridge, Fairfield, North Shore, Piping Rock, Harrisburg, Washington, Madison Square Garden, and the Florida Circuit shows. In 1971, she won the Alfred B. Maclay Finals on her horse, Rivet, and was awarded a gold medal for winning twenty USET classes. Her instructors include the equestrian luminaries Gordon Wright, George Morris, Ronnie Mutch, and Bertalan de Nemethy.

After graduating from Randolph-Macon Woman's College, Ms. White-Mullin pursued a career in broadcasting, but kept her equestrian ties through teaching, judging, and writing. In 1984, her first book, Judging Hunters and Hunter Seat Equitation, became a best-selling equestrian work, followed in 1992 by an equally successful book, Winning: A Training and Showing Guide for Hunter Seat Riders.

Ms. White-Mullin has served as a panelist for the AHSA Judges' Clinic program, and her slide presentation is part of the permanent instructional files for the AHSA. Currently, Ms. White-Mullin resides in Gadsden, AL. She gives riding clinics, judges horse shows, and lectures at equestrian educational institutions throughout the United States.
