The Windhorse Relations™ herd numbers 30. In 1996, Mary Lee began adopting mustangs from the BLM Wild Horse Program. Our horses were born in herds that roam in Utah, Nevada and California. All of the website photographs are authentic and picture only our horses.
Our horses reside at one of two locations: Brighton Meadows Equestrian Center in Salt Lake City (www.bmec-online.com) and Kayenta Korrals in Ivins, a unique desert community near St. George, Utah. We believe it is important for the healthy development of the horses that they remain in a herd setting with the freedom to interact and relate with other wild horses. As stewards of these creatures, we endeavor to listen, and to learn from them as we create willing relationships with our wild horses.
When we first adopted the mustangs, they grew up and established themselves as a herd at Trees Ranch, a 2000 acre ranch located near Zion National Park. The horses grew up in a wild setting of open desert landscape, red rock mountains, cedar and cottonwood trees, and a fresh spring fed creek in which to drink, bathe, and frolic. They were and are protected from dangers and have an unlimited supply of top-quality hay. Our intention is to maximize their development physically and socially while preserving their unique gifts.
Our horses and Mary Lee’s unique Windhorse Relationship Program make M.E.E.T.( Mustang Educational Experiential Training) Where Heart Meets Horse™ a profound experience. The horses are not haltered, restrained or forced to accept our presence and touch. Providing a safe environment, understanding the horses’ need for self-preservation and learning the language of non-verbal communication creates a desire in the horses to be with us. This desire and choice to be with us is the first and most important step. All the additional steps in this training are performed by the horse’s permission only, in order to create willing relationships.
