One Woman Sparked a Movement. Now It’s Our Turn.
The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:
This Women’s History Month, we’re celebrating the legacy of Velma Bronn Johnston — better known as Wild Horse Annie — the fierce advocate who changed the course of history for America’s wild horses and burros. Thanks to her tireless activism, the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act is law, protecting our iconic wild herds from “capture, branding and harassment.”
But today, Wild Horse Annie’s fight is far from over.
Every year, helicopter roundups continue to endanger and remove wild horses from public lands, threatening the freedom Wild Horse Annie fought so hard to defend. It’s time to continue the work she started and demand change.
Take action today to not only honor her legacy, but celebrate ALL of the strong women who have come after her in the fight to keep wild horses wild. Will you sign our petition to end cruel helicopter roundups and protect wild horses for generations to come?

Together, we can keep Wild Horse Annie’s vision alive and ensure that our wild horses and burros remain free — exactly where they belong.
With gratitude,
Team AWHC
