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.

Brett is at his Best when the Light Bulb goes on
Brett is coming along on schedule, and without even a hiccup. We’ve been trotting courses up until the end of July, when we began trotting in and cantering out. It took him a few lessons to understand to come back/whoa down a line but don’t confuse that with getting strong. He would canter softly, loose…

Despite that, he’s still a love and dealing w/ his frequent presence in the wash rack with relative patience. We have him on One…

It took a while to get her “right” but I think you will like the video.
