She has also been an analyst on show jumping telecasts. Anne also has an online instructional site, Riding and Jumping Mentor where members benefit from her vast knowledge via instructional videos and articles. "The online teaching site allows me to help people who I may not have had the opportunity to assist", said Kursinski. Location, finances, and confidence are factors that can limit many amateur riders. She has also added virtual lessons to her offerings. Riders can send videos for Anne to critique or take a live virtual lesson with the use of Skype or Facetime. A new, all color edition of Anne's best-selling book, Riding and Jumping Clinic was released in 2020. For more information go to www.ridingandjumpingmentor.com. Through her Market Street facility in Frenchtown, NJ, Kursinski uses her great talents as a trainer and clinician to help riders achieve their goals. Anne has worked with many top riders such as Hunter Holloway, Victoria Birdsall, Karen Polle and Eventers Caroline Martin and Matt Brown. Kursinski enjoys teaching clinics all over the country as well as her regular clients and students. Watching them learn and be successful is very gratifying for her. She also assists students and professionals that ship in for lessons and meet her at the shows. New Students Welcome in Frenchtown, NJ and Wellington, FL. Email us to inquire at [email protected].
