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.

Reign Day Made It Home to Massachusetts!
We have made it home! Nine and a half hours after loading into the car this morning, we arrived home (it was around 6:30), whereupon we unloaded Reign Day and Ty and they met our “crew”. Day was very good. He was a bit nervous, but in a very sensible manner, quietly regarding everyone and everything, and it did not take long before he seemed to be more interested in eating his hay than being nervous.
Little Silic’s Mom – Not Gonna Take It Anymore!
I cannot believe what has just happened. I read all the training notes on Phil’s Courage, what an awesome site. Lilttle Silic is doing great, however, he has a nipping fetish, not in an aggressive way, but unacceptable just the same. So I tried something new other than the John Lyons. After reading the journal…
Young Rachel Alexander Fans
Dr. Kenny Winn has been doing so well! His training is coming along beautifully. The girl that rides him for me twice a week is going to use him in one of her dressage lessons so the trainer can get good look at him. He’s starting to get fit and muscle up with his work routine.

Leader Board’s Racing Videos Sought by New Mom
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…
