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.

Taking “Commander” in Every Direction

Fast Commander is doing well. I think he looks great, having put on a lot of needed weight and starting to develop some muscles with regular work under saddle. He is so big already, it’s hard to imagine he’s only three and has more growing to do. He has progressed nicely in his flat work.…

Smart Eddie

Smart Eddie is Dapper Eddie

Eddie is 100% sound and doing great after a foot abscess. He has been very spoiled by his new parents and grandparents. He has a new wardrobe head to tail and his custom fit saddle is on it’s way:) he has a great personality and is super smart.

Sunny is BIG!

Sunny, now known as “Mr. Big (Big for short 🙂 ” due to how handsome he is and how confident he is in himself, haha, is doing really well!! I LOVE this horse, I bought him as a re-sale project but he has so much potential that it looks like I will probably end up…

When That Little Voice Says “Do It!”…

Today was such a thrill! It’s been a week and a half. Loco and I have been working very hard in the round pen every day. They say thoroughbreds naturally tend to move forward in the pen. Not mine. We’re getting much better, but he’d really like to just look at me and follow me…

Brett – A Champion at Eight

Just wanted to send you an update. Brett turned eight last Saturday (May 22), and he gave me a birthday present! We were champion in both of our divisions, classes of 14 & 16! He was fantastic! I’ve attached a photo of him with our ribbons.

Tillo Loves Trail Riding & Jumping

Hello, I wanted to give you an update on your little horse, Tillo.  We have had a pretty good summer…his dressage is really coming along, he seems amenable to the stadium jumping, cross country needs some more work as he gets pretty excited, and he loves trail riding…very brave and walks right out.  He’s very…
