    I thought people would like to know the facts on her proposal to the BLM. Mrs. Pickens came on the scene with her great idea of a sanctuary for all of the horses in holding. This was an awesome gesture, as she made it appear as though she would be funding this herself. Unfortunately, this was not the case. Not only did she want to use public and private lands in the desserts of Nevada, an area of NV wild horses and burros were not found in 1971 and there is practically no forage (they can only be areas they were found then because of the WFRHB act of 1971), she also wanted the BLM to pay her! I’m not talking about a one time deal here. She wanted the BLM to pay her $500 dollars per horse, per year, for the rest of its life. Thats more than they are paying now for private land! She wanted them to pay her to use their land!
