Rocky Bear and Bits & Bytes Farm owner - Elizabeth
This Web site was created to tell the stories of the Off-the-Track Thoroughbreds Bits & Bytes Farm has sold. The Mission of Bits & Bytes Farm is to help sellers (of Thoroughbred racehorses for sale) to find buyers who have the ability to transition these horses to new careers. We offer assistance and guidance to make sure the horses we sell are successfully placed. Our Success Stories are proof that Thoroughbred racehorses make great sport horses and family members when their racing careers are over.
When a horse is purchased with the assistance of Bits & Bytes Farm, we require the new owners to stay in touch and provide us with updates. These updates are posted on our Success Stories pages so that the sellers of the horses know that their horses are doing well and have not gone back to racing or been slaughtered. The sellers care about these wonderful Thoroughbreds and they too enjoy reading about their horses' successful new careers. They often call or e-mail to thank us for finding a home for a horse they bred or trained. To learn more about Bits & Bytes Farm and our mission please visit our Web site at: www.BitsandBytesFarm.com.

Irish Morning Mist – Equitation Horse
Just wanted to give a quick update on my big BAYby – Irish Morning Mist. He has been doing absolutely amazing! We are back at GSU and its my senior year and we are both having a blast!! I think I have found Irish’s calling as an Equitation horse. He LOVES it!
Taxi Learns to Jump!
Hi Elizabeth, Taxi continues to be amazing. It’s hard to believe she’s only been with us for 11 months. She is so smart and so sweet. She totally trusts Cait which translates into her doing amazing things, like jumping at a new barn in deep puddles (after a monsoon) without questioning the jumps or the…
Young Rachel Alexander Fans
Dr. Kenny Winn has been doing so well! His training is coming along beautifully. The girl that rides him for me twice a week is going to use him in one of her dressage lessons so the trainer can get good look at him. He’s starting to get fit and muscle up with his work routine.
Fast Commander Endures Many Changes
We have had a busy first ten days. My new outdoor arena is under construction & trenching is being done to bring water to the barn & arena, so everything is pretty disrupted around here & riding is limited. Commander has learned to lunge nicely. We are working on his manners around people, which are…
Update on Our “Kid”
Snowdance Kid was a horse for sale at Bits & Bytes Farm when he was purchased by Beth Hutchison in October of 2006. We are happy that after four years he is still enjoying cross-country jumping! We are proud of this pair! We look for lots more great Snowdance Kid Success Stories.
Da’ Boyz Do Gymnastics and Dressage
I’m again enjoying this lovely weather! Da’ Boyz (Dakota Spirit & Chilletecaux) are coming along great! This past week and this week they graduated to gymnastics (three jumps on the one stride) and cantering simple lines. They both LOVE IT!! The dressage is coming too. Of course we all think the jumping is more fun…
New Year, New Bit, New Attitude – Admiration Off on the Right Foot
I’ve been watching the site and meaning to send an update… just haven’t gotten around to it! Honestly there haven’t been any real milestones because we’ve been taking it easy since our last update. I injured my knee and was sidelined for about nine months (I’m still working to get back in shape!!) and then…
Riders Up! Oh, You Mean Me?
I am so pleased with Bubba and our first ride together. He is such a willing and sensible horse. Our first ride together couldn’t have been any better. Elizabeth lent us tack, which needed a bit of adjusting for Bubba who is lean from…
Shamuuu Makes a Big Splash!
Wow, what a classy horse. He has an A++ personality. He was good yesterday considering all he’d been through the previous 24 hours, but today I got to see his real personality. I got to the barn and he was the only one in, the others were turned out before I got there, I had…
