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.

Runaway Groom – I think not.
I’m forwarding some pics my daughter took of me and my new groom. I’m having a wonderful time with him. We had our first canter today! He is very quiet (hasn’t done anything stupid at all!), smart and willing. In fact, I’m reading the book “Beyond the Track” and he doesn’t fit in at all!…
A June Affair Shows Talent in Alpharetta
I was showing June in Alpharetta this past weekend. June is doing great and getting ribbons in the Adults at “A” shows. She is around 17 hands now and is filling out to be absolutely gorgeous! I have enjoyed her so much and she really seems to be liking her new job as a show hunter.
Allegiant – SOLD! June 2009
OTTB Allegiant retires from Thoroughbred racing to begin her second career in dressage and eventing.
Vicky Vicky Vicky is For Sale, For Sale, For Sale
I am sending information about Vicky and an update as I have her for sale currently. She has been an absolute delight to work with. She has a terrific work ethic and is very flashy. She is virtually the same at horse shows as at home, almost quieter. She is very special to me so…
Just Call Me Bubba
I can hardly breath watching Elizabeth and Barry drive the horse trailer toward the barn. I’m certain I held my breath for five minutes, until Elizabeth opened the side door and I crawled in to see my new horse, Lynn’s Vision. And there he is, calmly looking right back. He steps carefully off the trailer…
Dr. Kenny Winn – Just What the Doctor Ordered
Kwinn let out one of those contented snorts all over Adam, then just rested his head across his shoulder! I laughed so hard at the sight of my non-horsey husband bonding with our big guy!!
Enjoying Life After Racing
We had a perfect day today (weather) and both horses took full advantage of it on the soft ground. Thought you’d enjoy seeing Taxi with Cait’s other horse, Pepper. We’ve never had two horses lay down together like this. We were working on the fence near them so after seeing if we needed any help they decided to crash.
It’s Good to be “Goldie”
Gold’s Anatomy aka “Goldie” arrived save and sound! We were so impressed, after three days of traveling and the wind really blowing, he came off the trailer as calm as could be.
S.R. King of Queens . . . and Tears
Hi Elizabeth, Oh my gosh, I am in tears looking at the before and after pictures of that sweet boy. This is so, so upsetting to me. As luck would have it, Noah came down to my room because he’d had a bad dream and saw me crying. I didn’t click off the picture soon…
