About us...Crosswinds is a 501c3 nonprofit horse rescue located near Champaign & Danville Illinois.

We are a membership organization. Our mission is to rehabilitate, retrain and rehome at risk horses,

These programs include...

THANK YOU, VOLUNTEERS: Crosswinds could not survive without our incredible volunteers. We cannot begin to offer enough thanks to all our you, including our morning feeding helpers, who come one day EVERY week. All our tireless helpers are always willing to lend a hand -- or a truck, a strong back, computer savvy, or anything else needed. We could not get along nearly so well without all of our other, more occasional volunteers, too! Thank you, all! See our wish list page if you'd like to know more about volunteering at CWER.

THANK YOU, ALL! WE COULDN'T DO THE WORK WE DO WITHOUT YOU!

HORSE SLAUGHTER: Our Articles and Links pages have information on the practice of live horse slaughter for human consumption. Our president supports the Federal bill to end horse slaughter, but respects that others may not. Most of all, we encourage everyone to be informed, to make their own decisions, and let their voices be heard by our government.
