 With love and dedication to my heroine whose moccasins can never be filled.
Karen A. Sussman, president ISPMB 2001 

All American’s owe the survival of wild horses and burros on the North American plains to this magnificent woman who dedicated her life to end their inhumane treatment and slaughter. 

With nearly three decades of hard work and dedication, Wild Horse Annie’s dream was realized, that future generations would have the pleasure of seeing wild horses galloping across the plains with manes and tails flying in the wind, nostrils flared, and eyes reflecting their wild spirit, their freedom.  

Wild Horse Annie rose up against tremendous odds to achieve one of the greatest accomplishments in American history, the ideology that one person can change the world!   She brought much needed attention to our country that our public lands are not just for the vested interest groups but that they belong to all the people of the United States.  From her early efforts, spawned other legislation that resulted in furthering the protection of public lands such as NEPA. (National Environmental Protection Act.)

If we can learn anything from this noble woman who saved our wild horses and burros from extinction, it is this – one person can truly make a difference and change the world.  We urge you to take the time and make a difference in our world…..   Karen Sussman, president, ISPMB 1997
