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.

Whozierhurry Sends “Hola’s” from Mexico
I wanted to touch base and say hello. I bought WHOZIERHURRY last year when I was living in Mexico. I sold him to a trainer there and he is doing great! I keep asking for pictures, but do not have any recent ones. I will keep trying. He is gorgeous, sound and quiet enough for…
Tough Competition Rallies Phil’s Courage
I have a couple of updates regarding Phil’s Courage. The first update is that I had a buyer for Phil who was ready to write quite a large check and I couldn’t go through with the sale. I broke down in tears and just couldn’t part with him. My husband thinks I have gone insane,…
Riding Bareback in the Outback
Tuck’s St Aly one year later. I’ve been riding bareback about 1 out of 3 times I ride; Aly loves it, and it’s a good thing to do when I don’t have as much time to tack up. It does amazing things for my seat and helps my leg position immensely.
Has To Be Good is GREAT!
I just got home from a three-week annual training with the National Guard so I haven’t been able to email you about Be G. He has put on weight like crazy and he AND “Hotzy” (Red to Hot Handle) are looking REALLY good. It…
Great Game Arrives
From the cold dark depths of the Bangor Maine night….with the chill 38 degree wind blowing on a night as dark as dark—only a half moon shining feebly high in the sky—–a trailer pulls in. . . Great Game has arrived!
Thoroughbred Wins Hunter Derby at Palm Beach Horse Show
Wolfie had another great weekend at Palm Beach. When Josh gets home I will get you pics….
We did Hunters on Saturday – including our first ‘Hunter Derby’; and equitation on Sunday.
He did well both days and we have more three colored ribbons!
“Moose” is the Popular One at his New Home
I wanted to give you an update on “Moose” (Popular One). He is the love of my husband’s life! (next to me, I hope)! My husband, Nick, has never been around horses before. He has been taught how to halter and lead horses and is the one who brings “Moose” in from the pasture at…
LOVE IS – When Your New Horse (“Kwinn”) Knows You’re Mom!
“Kwinn” (aka Dr.Canhewin) was funny tonight when I went to see him. I stopped by after work as I do every evening. The all laugh at me because I wear my office clothes to the barn and into the stall with “Kwinn”. Anyway, he saw my car pull in and apparently was fussing in his…
