T. Boone Pickens' Wife Adopts 30,000 Wild Horses and Burros
Here's a heartwarming story for any horse-lover like myself. Apparently, Texas oilman T. Boone Pickens' wife is going to adopt some 30,000 wild mustangs and burros now in federal holding pens. The animals are rounded up yearly when the wild herds become overpopulated, or too large for the land to support. The Bureau of Land Management has an adoption program for the horses but with the number swelling to tends of thousands in recent years, it has been tough to find homes. Federal officials recently began mulling euthanasia. That's when Madeleine Pickens came forward. Here's a story I wrote this summer about a Tehachapi man who trained one of the mustangs as part of an effort to find the horses homes. 1 comments from 1 users
