Madeleine Pickens has travelled to Washington to present details of her plans for a massive wild horse sanctuary in the US western rangelands.
It is hoped the sanctuary would become home to the more than 30,000 wild horses now held in captivity - approximately the same number that now occupy the western rangelands.
Pickens said she felt the business plan was well received by senators and their staff.
"We ... look forward to further co-operation with elected officials and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
"We are eagerly anticipating the appointment of the new head of the BLM.
"While this transition is in progress, we continue to build momentum in Washington DC to support the sanctuary - which will save American taxpayers millions - and rescue the thousands of wild horses that are held in captivity and at risk of slaughter."
Her National Wild Horse Foundation is running an email campaign, urging supporters of the plan to email the Secretary for the Interior, Ken Salazar.
