Background

Madeleine Pickens was born Madeleine Baker on March 5, 1947 [1] in Kirkuk, Kingdom of Iraq [2] where her father, Bill Baker, was a British oil executive. [3] He was also a golf course designer, who built a golf course in Kirkuk and cut down his golf clubs to teach the five-year old Madeleine to play. [4] After her family left Iraq, Pickens grew up in France and England, [3] where Baker designed several courses. [5] Pickens and her twin sister Christine, both British citizens, moved from England to the Bahamas in 1965. [6] At some point she started using the name Madeleine Farris. [7]

Pickens modeled and worked as a flight attendant for Pan American Airlines in her twenties. She moved to Marina Del Rey, California in 1969 and went into business for herself, providing cabin service crews for corporate jets and special charter flights. [8] In 1976, she was featured in an article in Black Belt magazine. [9] She was married to Robert Richter, [8] with whom she had a daughter, Dominique, in 1980. [10] [11]

She met Allen Paulson, the founder of Gulfstream Aerospace in 1983, [7] and married him in 1988. In 1993 they bought the Del Mar Country Club in Rancho Santa Fe, California, where she drew upon her background to design and build the golf course. [12] Upon Paulson's death in 2000, she and his children from his previous marriages disputed over the estate until 2003, at which time she was awarded in the settlement, among other assets, stock in the Country Club. In September 2015, the IRS filed suit against beneficiaries of Paulson's estate, including Pickens, for unpaid estate taxes. [13] On September 10, 2018, a judge ruled Pickens was not liable for the taxes. [14]

In 2005, she married Texas oilman T. Boone Pickens. Not long after their marriage, the couple traveled to New Orleans to rescue pets stranded during the evacuation from Hurricane Katrina and flew them to California and Colorado on a chartered cargo jet. [6] They divorced early in 2013. [15]

In 2007, Pickens paid $35 million for a home on the beach in Del Mar; in 2010 she sued the city for ordering her to prune plants that were obstructing her neighbors' view. [16] Pickens has sponsored several events at the Del Mar Country Club benefiting military organizations. [10] [12] In July 2016, Pickens, Jenny Craig, and Doug Manchester co-chaired a fundraiser for Donald Trump at the Del Mar Country Club in Rancho Santa Fe. [17]

Equine interests

Pickens is said to be a lifelong equestrian. [18] She developed an interest in thoroughbred flat racing and with Allen Paulson, she owned several race horses, including U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee Cigar. [19] She traded Cigar to husband Allen for the filly, Eliza, the 1992 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies winner and that year's Eclipse Award winner as American Champion Two-Year-Old Filly. [20] Pickens' other horses included Fraise, who won the 1992 Breeders' Cup Turf; [21] Yokohama, winner of the 1997 Prix Foy at Longchamp Racecourse;[ citation needed ] and Rock Hard Ten, winner of the 2005 Santa Anita Handicap. [22] Pickens and Jenny Craig owned Rock and Roll who won the 1998 Pennsylvania Derby and ran in the Kentucky Derby. [23] Pickens also raced Miss Dominique, named for her daughter. [24]

After the settlement of Paulson's estate, Pickens no longer had colors to race, [8] although she was still part owner of Rock Hard Ten and a few broodmares. She announced in June 2005 that, upon her marriage to T. Boone Pickens, her involvement with racing would be reduced. [25] At the same time, she took up equine welfare causes when Old Friends Equine purchased Fraise and multiple Grade One winner Ogygian from their Japanese owners and she paid the $65,000 to bring them back to retirement at the Old Friends facility in Georgetown, Kentucky. [21] About a year after their marriage, the couple led the fight to close the last horse slaughterhouse in the United States. [8] The slaughterhouses were closed due to Congress's prohibiting funds to pay inspectors in the year appropriations bills, [26] but the Pickens worked for a more permanent solution by lobbying Congress to pass the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act (AHSPA), which passed in the United States House of Representatives, [27] but not in the Senate (in 2015, the AHSPA was folded into the proposed Safeguard American Food Exports Act). [28] In recognition of their efforts, in 2007 Madeleine and Boone Pickens received the Equine Advocates' Safe Home Equine Protection Award. [27]

In the summer of 2008, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), was faced with a budget crisis in its free-roaming horse program due to the cost of maintaining 33,000 excess (unadopted) horses captured on public lands in holding facilities. The agency was considering implementing the options that Congress had provided for in amendments to the Wild and Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971, to either euthanize or sell the horses "without limitation" to any willing buyer. [29] Since "any willing buyer" included those that would send the horses to slaughter in foreign countries, [30] Pickens established "The National Wild Horse Foundation," to create a sanctuary for excess horses. [31] On November 21, 2008, Pickens was named Person of the Week by ABC News due to her announcement that she would adopt and maintain, with private funds, all 33,000 horses at the sanctuary. [30] However, shortly thereafter she stated that the recession forced many of the donors she hoped would help her pay for the venture backed out, and she requested the BLM pay her a yearly stipend of $500 per horse to maintain the horses. The BLM responded that it was not possible to enter into the contract she requested. [32]

In January 2010, Pickens hired three helicopters to view and photograph a BLM horse gather, and at one point they flew across the flight path of other helicopters being used to herd animals, leading to the accusation she had interfered with the gather. [8] A year later, a $500,000 float she sponsored for the Tournament of Roses Parade [33] depicted a Native American on a horse watching over several galloping horses. The day before the parade, the National Tribal Horse Coalition issued a news release objecting to the float for using "the symbolism of the North American Indians and horses to promote agendas in direct opposition to the tribes' position." [34]

Also in 2010, Pickens purchased property in Elko County in northeast Nevada; the 14,000 acre Spruce Ranch in the remote Goshute Valley for $2,570,000. [35] Shortly afterwards, she purchased the Warm Creek Ranch [31] which is located about 25 miles south of Wells, Nevada [36] on Highway 93, adjacent to the northwest boundary of the 508,000 acre BLM Spruce Mountain grazing allotment. In March 2011, the BLM put out invitations for Pickens and others who wished to provide lands to maintain horses for the BLM in "Eco_Sanctuaries" to submit proposals for evaluation. [37] Saving America's Mustangs, the formerly named National Wild Horse Foundation to which Pickens had transferred title to the Spruce Ranch, submitted a proposal to maintain horses, that the BLM agreed to evaluate in April 2012. [38] In August 2012, the BLM published the proposal in the Federal Register [39] but in June 2014 the evaluation stalled after scoping found issues that have yet to be resolved. Although she has purchased several hundred horses at risk of slaughter and maintains them on the private lands of the ranches, [40] in 2014 Saving America's Mustangs leased the Spruce Allotment grazing permit to the Spruce Grazing Association that instead grazes cows. [41] On December 21, 2017, the BLM announced it would be rounding up horses in the area of the Spruce allotment. [42] On August 25, 2018, the BLM announced an emergency gather of 300 horses at Boone Spring within the allotment. [43]

Mustang Monument Eco-Resort

Initially, the Warm Creek Ranch headquarters was slated to be used as the "base of operations" for the eco-sanctuary. [44] However, on September 11, 2012, Pickens made reference to plans for a luxury resort called the Mustang Monument: Wild Horse Eco-Resort. [45] Pickens began converting the headquarters for the resort, [11] and began renovating the old ranch house there to become a dining hall and kitchen. [46] On April 3, 2013, the Elko County Commission approved a liquor license for the venture, [47] and Pickens spent a million dollars on "Safari Tents" or Tee Pees for the guests. The eco-resort was open for business in the summer of 2014 and, among other things, offered horseback rides on BLM-administered public lands [48] [49] and using a road crossing BLM administered lands to the Spruce Ranch to take guests to see the horses kept there. [40] Pickens states she was informed by the BLM in December of that year that she would need a permit to use the road and public lands for her commercial ventures and that she filed the application for the permit. Pickens claims that in October 2015 the BLM told her the paperwork had been misplaced, [50] and her representative claims that the BLM requested trivial information to process the application. [51] Also, Elko County officials determined that the food preparation facilities she planned did not meet the County health and safety codes, and required her to install a commercial kitchen. [46] By February 2016 the BLM had not finished processing the permit application and the County's safety codes had not yet been met. The County required Pickens to, in case of fire, to put sprinkler systems [46] in the lavishly furnished teepees, [52] and because the town of Wells had, in 2008, suffered a major earthquake, [53] she was required to modify the walk-in cooler in the kitchen to be earthquake-proof. [46] Pickens issued a press release on February 10, 2016, stating the resort would not open for 2016, [50] but although the Mustang Monument website stated she hoped to open in 2017 [54] and having spent $25 million on the venture, [50] she stated on September 1, 2016, she was "out of it" and would sell the Tee Pees. George Knapp, an investigative reporter for a Las Vegas television station, reported that Pickens said that she had made a bad decision and she would not spend more money on the venture. [46] The webpage for Mustang Monument announced the facility was closed in 2016. [54] In the beginning of 2019, Mustang Monument announced it has re-opened for the summer season.

Pickens stated that her problems with acquiring the BLM permit are due to her being "a tall tree" that "catch(es) the wind." [50] Pickens' representative suggested the real reasons for Elko County's safety requirements were due to local hostility to a wild horse sanctuary and because Pickens was from California, and Knapp, a Coast to Coast AM host that had Pickens' representative on as a guest in 2012, [55] expanded upon that to imply that they were imposed because Pickens was "rich, blonde, female, and...from California." [46] Adding to the conflicts in 2016, a lawsuit against Saving America's Mustangs and the Del Mar Country Club was filed for an alleged racially motivated hostile work environment at the Country Club and Mustang Monument in 2014. [56] As of January 2017, that lawsuit was pending. [57]

Politics

Since 2010 Pickens has donated extensively to Republican political campaigns, including the Donald Trump presidential campaign and numerous state Republican parties. [58]

The mustang is a free-roaming horse of the Western United States, descended from horses brought to the Americas by the Spanish conquistadors. Mustangs are often referred to as wild horses, but because they are descended from once-domesticated animals, they are actually feral horses. The original mustangs were Colonial Spanish horses, but many other breeds and types of horses contributed to the modern mustang, now resulting in varying phenotypes. Some free-roaming horses are relatively unchanged from the original Spanish stock, most strongly represented in the most isolated populations.

Colonial Spanish horse is a term for a group of horse breed and feral populations descended from the original Iberian horse stock brought from Spain to the Americas. The ancestral type from which these horses descend was a product of the horse populations that blended between the Iberian horse and the North African Barb. The term encompasses many strains or breeds now found primarily in North America. The status of the Colonial Spanish horse is considered threatened overall with seven individual strains specifically identified. The horses are registered by several entities.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Spanish Mustang</span> American breed of horse

The Spanish Mustang is an American horse breed descended from horses brought from Spain during the early conquest of the Americas. They are classified within the larger grouping of the Colonial Spanish horse, a type that today is rare in Spain. By the early 20th century, most of the once-vast herds of mustangs that had descended from the Spanish horses had been greatly reduced in size. Seeing that these horses were on the brink of extinction, some horseman began making efforts to find and preserve the remaining "Spanish Mustangs" drawing stock from feral and Native American herds, as well as ranch stock. The breed was one of the first to be part of a concerted preservation effort for horses of Spanish phenotype, and a breed registry was founded in 1957.

The Kiger mustang is a strain of mustang horse located in the southeastern part of the U.S. state of Oregon. The name applies only to wild-captured individuals and does not apply to their bred-in-captivity progeny, which are known as Kiger horses. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) administers two herd management areas for Kiger mustangs in the Burns District—Kiger and Riddle Mountain, in the Steens Mountain area. DNA testing has shown that Kiger mustangs are descended largely from Spanish horses brought to North America in the 17th century, a bloodline thought to have largely disappeared from mustang herds before the Kiger horse populations were discovered in 1977.

The Pryor Mountain mustang is a substrain of mustang considered to be genetically unique and one of the few strains of horses verified by DNA analysis to be descended from the original Colonial Spanish horses brought to the Americas by the Spanish. They live on the Pryor Mountains Wild Horse Range located in the Pryor Mountains of Montana and Wyoming in the United States, and are the only mustang herd remaining in Montana, and one of sixteen in Wyoming. They are protected by the Wild and Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971 (WFRHBA) and managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), who has set the optimum herd number at 120 animals. Genetic studies have revealed that the herd exhibits a high degree of genetic diversity and a low degree of inbreeding, and BLM has acknowledged the genetic uniqueness of the herd. Pryor Mountain Mustangs are relatively small horses, exhibit a natural ambling gait, and domesticated Pryor Mountain mustangs are known for their strength, sure-footedness and stamina. The Pryor Mountains Wild Horse Range is one of the most accessible areas to view feral horse herds in the United States and tourism to the area has increased in recent years.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Free-roaming horse management in North America</span>

Management of free-roaming feral and semi-feral horses, on various public or tribal lands in North America is accomplished under the authority of law, either by the government of jurisdiction or efforts of private groups. In western Canada, management is a provincial matter, with several associations and societies helping to manage wild horses in British Columbia and Alberta. In Nova Scotia, and various locations in the United States, management is under the jurisdiction of various federal agencies. The largest population of free-roaming horses is found in the Western United States. Here, most of them are protected under the Wild and Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971 (WFRH&BA), and their management is primarily undertaken by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), but also by the U. S. Forest Service (USFS)
