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.

Crowd Catcher is a Crowd Pleaser
Crowd Catcher is a crowd pleaser – Everyone loves “CC” at the farm and are spoiling her with apples, carrots, and lots of rubs and pets 🙂
This Wiseguy Ain’t Goin’ Anywhere!
I just looked around your site and you’ve really got a lot of great horses for sale. We’ve had some interest in Wiseguy and that’s been really nice. He went out on trial but when I dropped him off he kept trying to turn around and come back to me and was nickering and you…
First Recognized Horse Trials are a Synch for Heather’s Best
Heather continues to just get better and better! We did the Fall Horse trials at the Horse Park of New Jersey this past weekend. It was a really big event, only our second time competing at a horse trial, and our first recognized event. I discovered the night before our competition that Heather thinks braids…

Breaking the “Icy” with Mares is Tough
Another story for you…Icy is getting along fine and does well with Coin, Dudley and the Appys. I think there is a consortium of mares (led by Leslie’s big chestnut Thoroughbred) to keep him from really getting into the herd yet. I found him down in the stall (our barn has a section of wash…

Sec Cat – “Cat Napping with the Chickens”
Sec Cat aka “Lexington” aka “Lex” has started to settle in to his new home. He has a very sweet nature. He can bend and flex (even to the right). As long as his brain is busy working, he doesn’t spook at all the new things around. Today was a true challenge. I turned the…
Bato Loco is Crazy for his New Home and Friends
Loco spent two hours in the pasture this morning. He loved it. He made some friends and did a lot of exploring. He followed me like a puppy. When I walked him to the round pen, he was relaxed: his head was nice and low, he walked at an easy, slow pace just behind my…
If Wishes Were Horses, Then Beggars Would Ride
I sure wish I had had a clue just how good thoroughbreds are to work with years ago…..I do soooo enjoy it—they really are a horse all thier own just as much as any Arab… One of these days I may get lucky with lotto or something in which case I would need to to find me one of my very own…lol. Thanks again for all of the pleasure and wholeness you introduced back into the family thru Sush—prayers and best hoping you find homes for all those other “Sush’s” you are working for right now….and ps—-how is my girl Great Game looking?—any chances for her to find someone yet?—I sure hope so…..
