Anky is married to her trainer/coach Sjef Janssen who entered the world of horses at the age of 28 and introduced new views on training.
In 2005, accusations of abusive training by Van Grunsven appeared in the German horse magazine St. Georg. This included the technique dubbed "Rollkur" by the dressage public, now known as "hyperflection of the neck." The accusations were found unjustified in court. Germany was the world leader in dressage for decades until the Dutch team, including Van Grunsven, won the Nations Cup in Aachen in 2005. Rollkur [1][2], now officially known as hyperflexion of the neck, is a highly controversial training technique used by some dressage riders today. ...
