About this ebook

Horses were in Annie Bronn’s blood. For as long as she could remember, she had been fascinated by the spirited wild mustangs that roamed free throughout the West. So when greedy cattlemen started to round up the mustangs for slaughter, Annie knew it was up to her to save the breed.

The true story of Wild Horse Annie’s crusade to save the mustangs is inspiring. Readers will cheer her on, all the way to the White House, in her struggle to preserve these beautiful creatures from extinction.

Ratings and reviews

O read this book in third or fourth grade and didn't fully understand I went back and read it again in fifth grade and then suddenly I understood. I cried and smiled and laughed with this beautifully told story .

Beyond the history, the love of the horse shine true. The fight to protect the mustangs should never be forgotten, as it continues today.

This is such a great story about a remarkable woman.
