Went a little crazy on Amazon and purchased the 3 Anna Jane White-Mullin books. They're great! The newest edition has all the popular new riders, great pictures and timeless information. Would definitely encourage others to check it out!

She doesn't need to do anything else, she is an excellent horsewoman with an enviable show record at the highest level; she is also a well respected judge and author. What have you accomplished lately?
I have two of her books, they are excellent, I didn't realize she has a new one out.

According to her bio in the back of the book, she began riding at 5, was discovered by GM when she was 11, competed on the East Coast, won a lot of jr. hunter and eq. championships including those at ox ridge, fairfield, north shore, piping rock, harrisburg, washington, the garden, and florida. Won Maclay finals and won 20 USET classes. Graduated from Randolph-Macon Woman's College, began a 'R'/Registered judge, wrote books, and still judges, clinics and lectures.
Either way, her book is great and I encourage you to take a look at it. The judging section is fantastic and not like any I've seen in any other books. She makes her judging system very straightforward and easy to follow. She also 'pins' several classes and shows why she placed one group of faults over another, and includes symbols as to how to easily make and follow a judges card. VERY helpful!

Which ones did you get? I have Judging Hunters and Hunter Seat Equitation, and refer to it often.

I'm taking myself and four of my students to do a clinic of hers the first week of April. Just ordered her books the other day to pass around the barn so we can read before we go!

I have "Winning", got it about 15 years ago when I started riding Hunters.
One of my favorites as she posts photos of similar and then tells why one is better then the other and will pin over the other.
Has some great excercises to keep you motivated in your flatwork as well. I still use "the clock" all the time and to warm up before a class.
Quite good and not as technical as "himself".

I need to get Winning. Not that I'm showing anymore, but still. It's good to have for reference. I love her style of writing, too - I agree that the side-by-side photo comparisons are great.

I have all three of her books, getting the first two when they were first published and the latest one as soon as it came out. All good and all very educational.
I have a big collection of educational books and love to find ones about hunters which are few and far between! I have often wondered why there are so many books and videos on dressage, and reining, and,gasp, NH, but so few on actual hunters.

She has an article in the March issue of Practical Horseman about hunter form faults.
