She was inducted into the Show Jumping Hall of Fame in 2017.
Anne has won nearly every major equestrian competition there is to win. Some of her major wins include the Grand Prix of Aachen, the American Invitational, the American Gold Cup, the Hampton Classic, the Grand Prix of Rome and the Gran Premio Pulsar in Monterrey, Mexico. She has ridden on 47 U.S. Nations’ Cups teams, and she has competed in 10 World Cup Finals. Anne has been a member of 3 U.S. World Equestrian Games Teams.

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.

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.
