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.

Flash From the Past
You know…I was looking back thru some old correspondence of ours back before even Muchu was a done deal and I ran across a couple of little blurbs I just had to share……boy did it turn out to be prophetic…..
OTTB Saxon Warrior Arrives Home Safely!
Saxon Warrior arrived savely at the farm and is enjoying his small pasture turnout. He was immediately quiet on the pasture and never started running. He is a very sweet boy with a great personality, and he really likes people and other horses!…
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.
Wolfie’s first USEF/USHJA Rated Show
Hi Elizabeth, Well what a weekend! This was Wolfie’s first USEF/USHJA rated show. We opted to do the full (5 classes) Low Adult Hunter Division at the height we had been doing rather than try to do a 3’ Division. I am hoping by the Fall we will be ready for that. Anyway, we shipped…
Straight From the Horse’s Mouth – Tucks St. Aly Checks In from Texas
Well, first off, let me tell you, the honeymoon is over! This girl now, instead of giving me 3 peppermints every time she comes to see me….now only gives me maybe 3 or 6 per day. Imagine that, peppermint consumption going from 30 per day to only maybe 6 per day….I’m sure you feel for me. Not only that, but we are finally in a dadgum thing called a ‘regime’. Instead of getting 4 or 5 meals a day, as when I first got here, it’s now back to 3, and no 30 minutes early stuff either.
Celebrating My First Year with “Bubba”
Lynn’s Vision aka Bubba. The best horse in the world and I’m lucky he’s mine!
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!
Hunting in Reverse
Wow. . . What a day. I had my doubts when we went out but by the end of the first run I knew Imatexan was going to be great! In hindsight, I probably should have picked a better fixture.
Happy Mother’s Day from Gloria and Fame For a Day
Just wanted to send you some pictures of me and my boy! I had a WONDERFUL Mother’s Day ride on him today! He’s so gorgeous and is starting to get very round in his work! Wishing you a very wonderful Mother’s Day!!!
Why Did the Moose Cross the Road? To Find a Great Home
“Moose”, aka Popular One, is great. He really trusts us. We are absolutely thrilled with him. He is so laid back. He is very calm. I think he loves his new life. We have taken it very slow with him. He is in a pasture during the day with three other geldings and gets along…
