I was introduced to the Spanish Mustang breed of horses because my son brought one into our lives. Not a horse family previous to this. I have fallen head over heels in love with this breed. Part of my attraction is the part the Spanish Mustang has played in America's history. This horse is America's first horse! Now endangered, we risk losing a huge and important piece of our history. Windcross is preserving that piece of history so well in so many ways!! I am impressed with the commitment of the board and the staff to this horse and it's history. I especially love the 'photography weekend' where they invite professional photographers to come and work with the horses and authentic American Indians in full Indian dress and lifestyle. The pictures are breathtaking. The staff is offering more and more opportunities to see these horses up close and personal every year, whether by bringing the horses to people or by bringing the people to the horses. It is on my list to visit the Conservancy soon. This is a non profit that completely fulfills the roll and makes any donor feel as though they have done a good thing by supporting Windcross Conservancy!

Lucy & her family put in long hours caring for these beautiful horses. Their love , dedication and sacrifice can be greatly admired. Also , they open the ranch to the public so that others may come and see these magnificent animals.

Windcross conservancy is a wonderful ranch filled with amazing people and horses, Lucy and her family work long hours and but a lot of hard work into windcross. The Spanish mustang breed is one that must be persevered and that is what windcross is doing their hardest to do. My time at windcross was amazing and I can't wait to get back their in July. :)

Including in saving the Spanish Mustang, Lucy (WindCross) is also having volunteers from thru out the world coming to the Working Ranch. These volunteers are learning about the Horse and will hopefully pass this information on to the World. The Tours are another source showing what the value of saving the Spanish Mustang will be to all. Great Great Cause.

Windcross is a wonderful and deserving organization. I spent 2 weeks there in August 2012 and will never forget my life-changing experience. I hope the value of a place like Windcross will be more widely recognized.

In the past year I have had the opportunity to work with volunteers from all over the world. They have come from many countries to share in the Windcross dream to preserve the Spanish Mustang. It has been a terrific experience for the horses, the organization and myself. I am so thrilled to have had the opportunity to share the horses and their world with these amazing young people.
Thank you!

I joined Windcross at it's inception. I believed in the preservation effort on behalf of the Spanish Mustang for which it was founded. Since then the organization has given me the opportunity to host young people from around the world as volunteers and interns at the Windcross Preserve in Buffalo Gap, South Dakota. In addition, I have been able to share them with visitors from across the country and the world. My Windcross experience has been amongst the toughest and most rewarding in my life. I wouldn't change a thing.

Windcross Conservancy does a wonderful job in it’s goal to preserve the Spanish Mustang horses. The opportunity Windcross gives interns from around the world to participate in this worthy cause is to be greatly admired. The informative tours they give the public give all who come to the ranch the opportunity to see first hand these amazing horses and how they are lovingly cared for as well as learn about their heritage. I hope many more will take advantage of the opportunity to see these beautiful horses up close.

A very worthy NON-profit organization. Lucy and her family are lovingly dedicated to the preservation of these beautiful horses. They put in many long hours. I hope many people take the time to read all the reviews and get an idea just what Windcross is all about.

Windcross is doing fantastic work helping to preserve the Spanish Mustang horses which are on the endangered list. In doing so the organisation enlists help from volunteers and friends which gives these people, not normally associated with horses, an amazing insight into how Windcross works so hard to get the plight of these horses acknowledged and it is a privilege that my application for an internship for 2014 has been accepted as I welcome the chance to witness the work of this wonderful organisation first hand.

I was around when when Windcross Conservancy was only a dream, I have watched it grow and develop into a reality. I have witness the hardship, the losses. The uncertainty of the path chosen. I have witnessed great personal sacrifice, dedication, and hardship. But most of all I have witnessed unwavering LOVE for these magnificent animals. I have watched an ordinary woman go through extraordinary changes and challenges, to become an expert in the field. I have been witness to a dream being birthed into a reality through blood sweat and tears. It is an honor to witness and be a part of (even if all I do is (PET THE PRETTY PONIES LOL) I applaud you! Congratulations on your achievements and keep up the good works, Lives are changing because of what you do! One person can make a difference, You have brought education to the public about the Spanish Mustangs that may never have been heard. Perhaps helped to save these animals from extinction. Yes they are a very worthy NON PROFIT Organization! Blessings All! Much Love to Lucia and her Devoted Family!
