Anna, the daughter of a race-horse trainer, began riding at three and was racing ponies at six. By 12, she rode flat and relay races. She obtained her jockey's license at 18, making her the first woman jockey in the U.S. A fierce competitor, Anna retired from racing in 1944 and started a riding school in California. One year later, she began trick riding, performing in major rodeo shows throughout the western states.
