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.
