The Album " Wild Horse Crossing", was an original concept of Dalton's, who move to the Reno Nevada Highlands in 1998 from Nashville Tennessee, to benefit the Virginia Range Wildlife Protection Association with the sales of a possible album. Already living in the area was long time friend, musician and producer Beans Sousa, who at the time had worked with Lacy since 1980 as a sideman in Ms. Dalton's touring band. Sousa along with his friend and producer musician Steve Swinford, showed interest in the Wild Horse concept and from there Lacy asked Sousa and Swinford to write and CO-Produce ' Wild Horse Crossing." Two months after starting the Wild Horse project, 35 wild horses were found shot and killed near the Reno Highlands not far from Lacy's own back porch. It wasn't long before other musical residents of the Reno area showed there support by submitting songs and time to the Wild Horse Crossing project.
