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.

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…
“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.
Avrispecial – Enjoys Life!
I love to watch your website. You guys have so many great looking horses on there I am always interested in watching them fly off the site. I just wanted to fill you in on Avri, He is doing great! I am riding him about four days a week now. I am working him long…
Admiration Not Lost on His Mom During Hiatus
Just wanted to send you a little update on Admiration aka “Huey”. It’s been about a year since I got him, and I have to say that we’re not where I would have liked us to be. That’s certainly not his fault, and I’m not sure that it’s really mine either… just circumstances. This summer…
OTTB Votive Enjoys More Elbow Room at New Home
Wanted to send a little note to let you know Votive is now here at my home. She is getting along great with my 32-year-old gelding that is here as well. We worked on lunging the first weeks here and she did better than ever. She loves the idea of being able to go out…
Theironman – SOLD! June 2008
SOLD! Congratulations Stephanie Bone of Alabama on her Third OTTB! Theironman was a Prospect Horse For Sale who never made it to our Web site. He was purchased by Stephanie Bone. Stephanie had first purchased a Bargain Barn horse from us who later needed to be put down. She was heart broken and Theironman suddenly…
Dr Kenny Winn Makes a Great Patient
I’m a bit upset about the fact that “Kwinn” has a mild fungal infection affecting all four frogs. This was apparently picked up during his regular foot trim on Monday. Of course, I had been out of town on business and not around when the foot trim was done. Instructions were left for me at…
Love at First Meeting!
….I didn’t even quite realize who was over in that pasture, until Barry said “now Aly….stays over in this pasture” and I just about exploded in a scream, I don’t think words can describe what happens when you feel the soft muzzle of an Aly BaYboy for the first time, I felt so quiet when I first touched him, I think its because such feelings, just can’t be expressed, that’s all there is to it.
Judging Dreams and Irish Morning Mist Cross Paths
I spoke to Irish Morning Mist’s owner told her that I’d like to buy Irish as long as Judge (Judging Dreams) passes his pre-purchase exam tomorrow for his new owners (I don’t anticipate a problem). I will keep you updated. I’m really excited about…
Mr. Mully Trains Exceptionally Well at Recent Clinic
Recently Mully and I attended an Eric Smiley three-day clinic. We prepared well for the clinic and I was really excited to ride with Eric once again. He comes every year and if we’re lucky he comes twice. This was only Mully’s second clinic and having a really rough road to recovery from complicated splint…
