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.

There’s a “Bear” in my Backyard!
Got Um Smoke Um aka Bear enjoying a leisurely college lifestyleWe are back at college and Smokey is enjoying a pretty easy life right now, not showing or anything, just too busy this senior year. I’m teaching organic chemistry lab and staying busy with lots of upper-level classes, ugh. Bear is so incredibly sweet; he…
Callie’s Wright at Home
Callie’s Wright arrived safe this afternoon! I called Michelle to let her know that she arrived in perfect shape and that I really like her, she seemed very pleased! She told me to keep her updated and to call her if I came across any questions as I started working with her! The company that transported her (Tapp) was wonderful! They were very nice and professional to work with and were reasonable with their rate!

Austin’s Wolf – Clean Again!
Hi Elizabeth, Here are some photos from the last show. My trainer’s daughter was getting ready for her first show on the requisite white pony… she won 2 blues! Some interesting shots of Wolfie….. ‘dynamic’ I think was how Josh described them… He was very comfortable over a little oxer warming up…. You can probably…
New Experiences Bond “Gus” and New Owner, Bonnie

“Woody” aka “Blind Date” is Wonderful!
“Woody” is absolutely wonderful. We couldn’t love him more. He is very very handsome and he went to his first ‘AA’ show several weeks ago and did wonderfully. He placed 5th in one of his over fences in the Baby Greens and couldn’t have looked better or been more confident.
Red Hot To Handle Still in Her Winter Coat
I went out to the barn and took these at lunch. Ron told me that her winter coat was coming out and he didn’t lie. I was not quite expecting this though. A little elbow grease and medicated baths should take care of the problem though. I have not had time to start grooming because…
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…
Reign Day Has a Quiet Rainy Day
I have to say, I’m pretty sure that Reign Day is not very impressed with the climate here in Massachusetts so far–today was overcast and dreary and it rained on and off. He had a very laid-back, quiet, “settle-in” day. I played with him in the aisle, gave him a good long groom, did his carrot stretches and a bit of backing up.
