WHOA
Wild Horse Organized Assistance rescue program has over 40 years experience and history in mustang and burro protection and preservation. WHOA has specialized in the rescue of orphan foals that have been abandoned in the wild or at the BLM holding facility. This takes special care and many weeks of feeding every two hours throughout the day and all through the night hours. Dawn was the secretary to Velma Johnson (Wild Horse Annie) and assisted in writing the legislation protecting the wild horses. She has helped us to understand the laws protecting America's wild horses. It is our privilege to call her a close friend.
Update: In 2012 WHOA Dawn retired and transferred the orphan program to the Inmate Training Program in Carson City. WHOA continues to care for the remaining rescue animals. The Mustangs of America Foundation will continue to support both programs.
