America's Living Legends

"If God has a kind of plan for all of us,
   I'd like to think he coupled me with horses right from the start."
                          -Wild Horse Annie

"Keeping the spirit alive"

 In the 1950's a group concerned with the welfare of America's diminishing wild horse herds formed under the leadership of Velma Bronn Johnston. Better known as ``Wild Horse Annie,'' this woman from Nevada, along with many others, worked to ensure a place for wild horses and burros
on Federal rangelands. In 1971, Congress passed The Wild Free-Roaming Horse and Burro Act.
