The rarest of America's historical horse population, these horses can trace their documented roots back at least 100 years. Native American tradition, historical records and letters of old mustangers have helped the Windcross Conservancy begin to piece together the history of these horses. Some hail from deep into what is now Oklahoma, but was once the home of the traditional Osage people and their horses. Others come from way down in old Mexico, from the time of estancias, missions and pueblos. Diaries of conquistadors, letters of Spanish soldiers to home, legends and maps of the Old West are all used. With the addition of modern scientific genetic research we are just beginning to see path taken by these horses through history to today.
Please join us in appreciation of the horse that was brought to the New World as the Spanish expanded their empire and in turn helped settle the American West.
A 501c3 public charity- established as the Spanish Mustang is fast becoming a vanishing piece of American history. Windcross conservancy intends to protect this endangered horse through creating a conservation area for the horses, a public museum, educational center with library of the horse, and continued public awareness through school outreach and public events.
