Laurie Calhoun has had a passion for providing a safe haven for all creatures her entire life. As a result of her early love of horses, Laurie Calhoun became the co-owner and co-manager of Summer Wind Farm in 1986. In this capacity, she became aware of the plight of Thoroughbreds when their racing careers were over. As it became apparent that more needed to be done to save these beautiful animals, and to honor the memory and zest for life of a charismatic racehorse named Foxie G, Laurie established The Foxie G Foundation on September 14, 2012. Foxie G enjoyed his retirement at Summer Wind where the organization is based.
