Learn About Off-the-Track Thoroughbreds from Their New Owners After Racing

This site was created to tell the true stories of former race horses who have now moved onto second careers as sport horses. The stories are written by their new owners in their words. These off-the-track Thoroughbreds are family horses and show horses.
These Thoroughbreds are ridden in English tack and Western tack. They compete in dressage, combined training/eventing, hunter/jumper and some are just pleasure horses enjoyed by children, adults and grandparents.

Brett’s First A Show Gives Him the Blues

Jul2010

Former Bits & Bytes Farm horse, Brett, wins the blue at his first A show!

Brett and I went to our first A show this weekend. Blistering heat–105 degrees.  He was wonderful, and we got a nice ribbon in the equitation over fences class.
