Madeleine Pickens to get her shot at horse sanctuary

The federal agency in charge of America's mustangs is seeking formal proposals for public-private partnerships to establish wild horse eco-sanctuaries. The announcement today opens the door for Madeleine Pickens, who has been in talks with the Bureau of Land Management over her plan to set up a sanctuary for captured wild horses in Nevada. Pickens has bought, or has grazing rights, over around 500,000 acres, where hopes to rehome wild horses. A separate request for applications for partnerships relating to eco-sanctuaries located on both private and BLM-managed lands will be posted at a later time...more 

She will probably call it Madeleine's Mustangs.  Please don't tell Jimmy Bason about this, or we will have Jimmy's Jugheads running all over the country.  Bason's Burro Bodyguards is about all we can stand.

There used to be a Mustang Ranch in Nevada, but that was a horse of a different color. But, come to think of it, that was kind of a sanctuary too.
