Windwalker Ridge Mustang Sanctuary

Windwalker Ridge Mustang Sanctuary Our mission is to provide sanctuary for displaced mustangs with a focus to keep families together

06/06/2026

We have been spreading hay out on different parts of the property in the newly fenced areas to help draw the mustangs to different areas to rotate the land use and let other areas rest and grow.

Our two White Mountain boys Viking (aka Jeriah) and Dragon Heart (aka Maclaurian /Mac) found a quiet spot to themselves where they can relax and do their thing and not have to share their hay with anyone else. These two were best buddies on the range and we were able to keep them together and they are now enjoying a slower paced life here at the sanctuary together.

Some people ask why we don’t feed our hay up off the ground in bale feeders or slow feeder nets. There are several reasons why. One is because we have so many horses we are feeding that it is absolutely not efficient enough for us to feed like that. Too many horses on one feeder would get horses hurt and cause some horses who are on the low end of the social hierarchy to not get any at all. It would cause a lot of fighting and injuries. We like to spread our hay out so that everyone has a fair chance to eat.

Another big reason is that when we unroll these large bales out the seeds from the hay hit the grown and then the very little hay that’s left by the horse along with the manure helps to reseed and fertilize the area and helps with pasture regrowth. It’s an effective and efficient way to manage the pastures and help the areas that take a beating from constant use by the mustangs.

This newly fenced area has been an absolute blessing for the mustangs! They are loving life and we love watching them live it and share it with all of you! If they can’t be free on the range then this is the next best option and they are definitely living their next best life! Thank you for always helping us make this all possible for them! It takes a village!

UPDATE: Saturday 6/6 @ 2:50pm

Today is the last day we will ask for help covering the May bill because we need to move onto June’s bills now. What we can’t raise we will take a hit on. Our family always covers what Windwalker can’t fundraise because the horses have to eat whether donations come in or not. We have just a few horses left to finish up for May. Can we do this? Can we come together and get this done?

Sharing once again. We are now into June and we still have not knocked out May’s feed bill. Hoping and praying we can reach more supporters who are able and willing to help however possible. This is a monumental task every month and breaking it down like this really helps you see our ongoing needs for each and every horse every single month. Please donate and help if you can cover the May feed bills. We are slowly getting it done but rolling into a new month means the next month’s bills are coming due too. We need your help! 🙏🏻❤️🐴

Here is the list of our resident mustangs who have not been 100% supported or their feed bills covered for the month of May. Today is the last day of the month to meet our goal of $100 for each horse. It is costing approximately $113 just for hay and grain alone each and every month for each and every horse.

Unfortunately because donations are at an all time low right now and we can’t seem to meet our goal to cover the bills consistently every month, our intake and rescue program is on hold until further notice. This is why we need everyone to pitch in and help if possible in order for us to be able to keep going and do what we love to do and were meant to do….. save lives! This operation truly does take a village!

The amounts listed next to their names is what we have raised for each so far. Our goal to cover their bills is $100 each.

Big beautiful Amos has the sweetest face! There is just something so soulful about those big brown rounds that melt my heart! This big fella is enjoying the quiet retired life with his herd. He worked so hard his entire life and is now enjoying a much slower and easier pace and lifestyle filled with lots of love and yes of course cookies! I mean who can resist that face? Definitely not me!

I just loved the sweet casual little trot by Obi down to the spring to join his friends Dragon Heart and Viking for a drink. The watering hole is a popular place and the horses like to gather around it and hang out. As you can see they have it pretty muddied up from climbing in the spring and splashing around to cool off and help with bug control. Dragon Heart and Viking were all stretched out here quenching their thirst. They were up to their bellies in fresh natural spring water stretching out to the far reaches of the deepest part of the spring where the water comes up out of the ground for the coldest and cleanest gulps of water. These horses are so smart! They are loving life of the backside of the property in the newly fenced area where they have so much room to run and roam and explore!

In exactly one week from today, we are officially tying the knot after sharing 20 years of life together! We are so excited for this next step in our journey and we know that so many more adventures await us!

I don’t share much about our personal lives here on the page very often, but as I said it before our lives literally revolve around these special horses, and together we share this mutual love for the horses, which has only brought us closer and made our bond stronger as we share so many of the same interests in life .

In fact, it was our love for horses that brought us together in the first place when we met for the first time at Triangle Y Ranch at YMCA of The Ozarks. I took a summer job straight out of high school to give summer camp kids horseback riding lessons where Chris worked as one of the ranch directors. So I packed my bags and loaded up my horse and moved from Indiana to Missouri to start the next chapter of my journey.

I will never forget the moment we met. Chris came riding up on his beloved horse named Jet as I was unloading my horse Stitch from the trailer. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that he would be my person and partner for life but we instantly hit it off and the rest is history!

How did I get so lucky to share such a crazy beautiful life with someone who loves me so unconditionally? We are so excited for our next adventures and can’t wait to see where life takes us!

It was a busy day around here as we picked up several loads of hay for the horses. Hay day is typically an all day event and we usually dedicate a day specifically for it every week. When we say they eat like a horse, we literally mean it. We currently have 86 resident horses here at the sanctuary, which means a lot of mouths to feed every week. This is why it is so important for us to have the love and support and generosity from so many people to help us make this possible.

This is what rescue looks like. We spend day in and day out taking care of all of the residents of the sanctuary. This labor of love and the tasks that it includes takes on many different shapes and sizes. Our lives literally revolve around the horses.

We want to thank each and every one of you who help us make this opportunity and this sanctuary life possible for so many horses in need. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the financial support and moral support that you give us because it truly takes all of it and all of us. Some days are harder than others, and there are some days that we feel like we have the weight of the world on our shoulders, but then we are reminded by the horses that they are worth every ounce of energy and resources that we put into them and we are reminded by our supporters that we are not in this alone. Those reminders keep us motivated to keep going and to keep fighting because they need all of us in order to change so many lives and make this opportunity possible for so many in need.
