I have been with Windcross Conservancy since its inception. I have seen it grow from 5 acres and 6 horses to a respected horse preservation program. Windcross has been responsible for many firsts within the breed, from using the term preserve to requiring parentage and dna testing on all its horses. An educational innovator we have hosted interns and volunteers from around the globe. Vet students, bio scientists and the list goes. We survive on tours donations and grants. We are not federally funded. Please join us in the support of these amazing animals which have given so much!. # windcrossconservancy. #americanheritagehorse

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!

Feel the power of the herd. Capture their grace and beauty in a photograph and know that you have stood witness to one of the last genetically preserved Spanish Mustang herds in the world. Nothing shy of magic is felt here. Come.

When my husband and I first got involved with these horses about 8 years ago the situation was not nearly so dire as it is now. So many Spanish Mustangs are being sent to kill buyers now and there are so few to begin with. So when we visit Windcross Conservancy and see so many new people meeting and learning about these ancient horses who have been with humans almost as long as dogs it makes all the sacrifices and hard work worthwhile and gives hope that these horses will be saved bythe Americans who truly owe them so much in history.
The Spanish Mustang is important to European heritage as well as being one of the key elements that made the USA what it is today. All the legends of the American past and it's exceptionalism would not have been possible wo this exceptional horse.
