Review for Windcross Conservancy, Buffalo Gap, SD, USA
I’ve known of Windcross and the family that makes it all possible for years. A tour here is great fun. You don't just see the horses from afar, you get up close and personal with them. Having the owner give the tour and relate her many interesting tales is half the fun. We had a family reunion a few years ago and Windcross was part of it. Family groups went out as their other plans allowed them time. They all enjoyed it. Once this pandemic is over and you are traveling again, plan to visit.
Review for Windcross Conservancy, Buffalo Gap, SD, USA
We had a family reunion here this year. I arranged with Lucy for a tour. I was unable to attend myself, but the original group of 5 who expressed interest grew to 11. The photos I saw showed smiling faces as people interacted with the horses. Everyone had a great time. I have been to Windcross a few times this year at their new location in the historic Buffalo Gap schoolhouse. I am continually amazed at the amount of energy Lucy has for her family, Windcross, and the international group of volunteers who help keep the place going. I think that energy comes from pursuing a dream and seeing it become reality.

Review for Windcross Conservancy, Buffalo Gap, SD, USA
I've been a city dweller all my life. I've never been around horses. My husband grew up near here and retirement brings us to this area. I met Lucy and family through her parents, who are good friends. I donated a stove, some money, and some goldfish for the stock tanks. The day I dropped off the fish, I got to go on a tour and meet some of the horses, see the new foals, and hear stories about life on the ranch. My immediate impression was, this family really knows and loves these horses. What a great place for Lucy and Matt's kids to grow up, what a great place for volunteers, and what a great place for the horses.
