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.

No Complaints on Moving from Happy Fella Alley Flash
Sorry it has been so long! A lot has happened since I last wrote. In June my husband and I decided that we have had enough of Colorado and moved back to sunny Florida. I was very excited to be near my family and friends again, but this was the most stressful move I had…
Buying an OTTB Can Raise Eyebrows
Amanda experienced what a lot of buyers of off-the-track Thoroughbreds experience – negative comments from people who know nothing about OTTBs. She was told inaccurate and totally ridiculous stories about what to expect from an off-the-track Thoroughbred.
Just About Perfect – Brat Maverick
Maverick was relaxed all day. He is no longer pacing the fence but instead ventures out to join the herd. Everyone is commenting on how beautiful he is of course, and add to that that he is as sweet as can be, I would say he is just about perfect.
Coastside in Raleigh
Hey! Sorry it’s been so long! Coast is fantastic! He is on a private farm outside of Raleigh and he is fat and happy. He is now jumping and has been to a couple small shows. I’m not going to sell him but if something should ever happen I would come to you for help…
Finally a Great Game Success Story
When Patrick and I composed a success story about Muchu, we felt there real success was us just having her here with us and sharing all of the grace and affection that is Muchu. Great Game’s success story has been a tad more complicated…a tad longer to realize…but not one ounce less powerful for me.…
The Bank President is On Vacation at the Spa
“Banker” (Bank President)is doing very well and seems really happy to be here. He enjoys languishing in his stall then going out and rolling in the dirt.
Okay! Okay! 🙂
It has been a while since I posted a “Bubba” (Lynn’s Vision) update. But I’m so inspired by everyone else’s OTTB stories – I try to quickly post them to share with everyone – so I don’t often have time to post my boast about “Bubs”. So I’ll start my post with a strong statement –…
Crowd Catcher is a Clothes Horse!

Decorative aka “Decorated” SOLD!
Congratulations Kate State of Birchrunville, PA on the purchase of Decorative an off-the-track Thoroughbred.
Runaway Groom – I think not.
I’m forwarding some pics my daughter took of me and my new groom. I’m having a wonderful time with him. We had our first canter today! He is very quiet (hasn’t done anything stupid at all!), smart and willing. In fact, I’m reading the book “Beyond the Track” and he doesn’t fit in at all!…
