Mission: Historically the Spanish Mustang has helped build North America. We provide education on it's impact and background to the public. We also provide a place were we can house these horse on a preserve. Today there are more and more horses being lost and liquidated. We cannot save them all, but we can save some. We strive to match the integrity of the horses, the honor of our grandfathers, the truth of our grandmothers and the courage of the Old West.

Results: We have ambassador and breeding horses in 7 countries. Windcross has established the largest DNA database in the world for the Spanish Mustang to establish parentage. We have spear-headed practices for breed registration demanding confirmed parentage and DNA testing for genetic anomalies. Windcross has the first Spanish Mustang horses preserved for cloning. We continue to pursue the preservation of the Spanish Mustang one horse at a time.
