According to David J. Reilly on a blog called "Nine Shirft," "Whoa, Nellie" was a frequent cry given by Gene Autry's pal, Frog Millhouse (Smiley Burnette), as he tried to stay aboard his horse, Ring-eyed Nellie. (I agree with the answer above. Nellie would get a bit too feisty while Autry rode her, so he would go "Whoa, Nellie", take it easy, to quiet her down.)
