Thoroughbreds can do
Race Track Training Pays Off at Combined Training Event
Hi Elizabeth – Sorry for the no photos…just got a new camera and hopefully some photos to come soon before my lovely horse gets hairy! We did do our first event 9/17-19…Windy Wyoming. We had a ball! Jack Eleanor’s Groom) was very well behaved for such a baby and he never even thought about refusing a fence. I was so proud of him as the distractions were many! Guess it was his racetrack upbringing. He’s beginning to look for the next fence in both the stadium and on cross country and I think he really enjoys his new career. I’m certainly loving him…he’s so sweet! Thank you, thank you. Photos to follow (I hope, I’m technologically challenged!).

Admiring Glances for Kwinn’s Kind Eye (and Natural Talent)
“Kwinn” (Dr. Canhewin) is doing so well. He looks wonderful; putting weight on and and his coat looks healthier too. The Famotidine and now the probiotic with antacid seem to be working well for him. I don’t get enough time to ride right now, so he really needs to build back up. He gets tired…
“Max” Needs a Little Reminder from Time to Time
A quick update on “Max” (Maximum Impact). He is doing well and is putting on some weight again. I tell you what – that “girlfriend” is about to drive us nuts because she goes into season and he goes batty because that is his lady…no other horse can get near her. And she is just…
Happy Birthday Thoroughbreds!
My last Hollywood Vic update included Halloween photos, so I know it has been too long! Here we are in January, one month away from a very special anniversary for my Hollywood Vic and I..one year on February 10th. He is bigger, stronger, sweeter (if that is possible) and into his 5th year of life!…
Punch is Sadly Offered For Sale
Elizabeth, I just wanted to give you an update on Chaz. We have sadly made the decision to sell him. College plans have changed and my parents cannot take care of him as well as my other horses. He has been progressing very well. His feet are completely barefoot and sound! He has been jumping…
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…
Gold Commander One Loves to Play
. . .a little more than six months later, I’m as happy as ever with him. He’s a very thoughtful, playful, curious and intelligent horse, representing Thoroughbreds very well. He likes to lip ponytails of the girls at the barn; he snatches lead ropes and halters off hooks and tosses them in the air, and; he also likes to drink water out of water bottles – a real ham.
OTTB Behrens Design
Off-the-track Thoroughbred Behrens Design was a Bits & Bytes Farm Prospect Horse For Sale in 2008. He was purchased by Heather LaHaye of Ramona, CA.
Cortableau Gets a Mom!
Cortableau spent a few days of well earned R&R at the Bits & Bytes Farm “Spa” where he received laser treatments, stretching exercises and lunging. He learned to eat grass and run free again! And he chilled with the other ex-racers on the farm who, we’re sure, told him that his racing days were over. Stevie Loverboy chatted with “Bleau” over the fence, “There’s no track here. These people are nice.” By the time his new mom Laura arrived on Friday he was feeling good and ready to meet his new family.
