Commercial and public service announcement for the Bureau of Land Management and mustangs; begins with a still of conservationist Vilma “Wild Horse Annie” Johnston and banner “American Portrait”; Johnston’s voiceover: “Man and his horse settled this great land. Theirs is the spirit of America. My father was a mustanger, he caught and trained wild horses for use as cow ponies. I grew up among them. Was thrown from my first mustang when I was three years old! But Dad put me right back on and I’ve been riding them ever since. The wild horse should survive! I have spent 25 years in the effort to that they do, in their natural habitat: the national resource land. Your land, and mine. One of my great rewards is the interests of the young people in my efforts. They love the wild horses, and they love the land!”; end perspective shot of the mustangs roaming the open land, with banners superimposed: “The Land Still Needs Our Care.
