The Foxie G Foundation typically cares for approximately 100 horses at any given time. Horses under our care come from various sources including kill pens, directly from the racetrack, animal control due to neglect or abuse cases and owner give-ups. They can vary greatly in their ages and body conditions. Upon arrival, all horses are evaluated, provided with proper veterinary care if needed, given time to just be a horse or have their injuries heal.
Horses with past injuries that make them unsuitable for riding, have behavioral issues or older in age, are placed in our sanctuary program.
Visitors are welcome to tour the farm and meet our horses, but we ask that you please make an appointment before you visit.
Rehabilitation
Horses arriving at Foxie G that have suffered an injury while at the racetrack, are recovering from a neglect or abuse case or have a poor body condition are placed in our rehabilitation program. The rehabilitation process can vary greatly and is tailored to meet each horse’s needs with the assistance of our veterinarian and farrier.
Our Horse Sanctuary
Horses in our sanctuary program reside with us permanently. Permanent retirees include Rockinn On Bye, 11 year old multiple graded stakes placed winner of $672,801, and Not For Silver, 16 years old who was a graded stakes winning gelding of $303,870. But they don’t need to be stakes winners or winners at all to be in our program.
To help offset the expenses incurred when caring for a horse over the duration of his or her life, we are always in need of sponsors for our sanctuary horses. This is a wonderful option for those that can’t adopt but would like to help support the horses under our care. Since horses can live into their late 20s and sometimes even 30s, having horses sponsored allows us to continue to help others in need.
