OTTB “Maverick” Hits the Trails, Herds the Cattle, Hollers at Mom and Has a Great Life
It’s wonderful to be home! The weather has been amazing. The mornings are chilly. The days clear blue skies! Oh wow! Horse weather if I’ve ever felt horse weather! I know I’ve sent just little updates and some pictures here and there since I’ve been home, but the last two weeks have been jam-packed! “Maverick”…
Racing Roomies Reunite: Bubba & Hollywood Vic
Bubba is quite content living at Bits & Bytes Farm. He is an extremely kind soul, enjoys snuggles and has a willing attitude. He is extremely conscious of the horse hierarchy and just likes to stay out of trouble. I would say he’s probably a bit more comfortable around people than other horses with one…
Becoming the Herd Leader
Taxi learns who is in charge. When horses first arrive, you tend to want to love on them and let them get away with things. In reality this is the most important time of all.

Leader Board is doing great and our trainer couldn’t be more impressed with him. He is really a sweet, laid back boy. Which brings me to the question. I think you mentioned that there is a website that has videos you can purchase of his old races. We have recently become very curious how Leader…
Bubba – Bendy like Beckham!
Lots of things bend: a curvy road, a paperclip, Gumby – but not so much my Bubba! Until today… I ride Bubba three or four times a week but I don’t ride well or softly and he is often aggravated with me. He grits his jaw tightly and its nose up or nose tucked between…
Reign Day Goes Home!
Reign Day was listed on the Bits & Bytes Farm Web site as a Thoroughbred Horse For Sale – Prospect Horse at the Track. He was purchased by John Reynolds, DVM and his wife Valeri to be a new Pony Club mount for their daughter Julia. Julia was busy with school commitments in February so we were asked to bring Reign Day to Bits & Bytes Farm for some training.
California Break for Chilletecaux and Dakota Spirit
Well I know I haven’t gotten any pictures yet but I have good news. We went to CA for a week and when I got back I got straight on Chilletecaux (no lunging) and it was as if I’d ridden them both he and Dakota Spirit the day before! What good boys – I realize…
