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.

It’s All About the Love for Better Be There
Just thought I would give you a short update on “Buddy”. He is getting better and better everyday.
“Marvin” is a Joy
Marvin has gained weight nicely, and the vet wants him to gain another 200 pounds! With the added weight and cooler temperatures, Marvin is feeling more ambitious. Nevertheless, he is always safe and sane. I can’t say enough nice things about him.
Irish is the Light & Happiness of Megan’s life
I was catching up on your website and on all the news and saw that you needed a refreshing reminder of the beauty and love these thoroughbreds bring to our lives. I wish we could save them all too, I would have many if I could. I just wanted to take the time to thank you for finding Irish and giving him the chance you did. I don’t know where I would be without him.
Snow Days Mean Slow Days for Eleanor’s Groom
The horse (Eleanor’s Groom) is doing great, gaining weight and figuring out his place in the herd. No new bites for a couple of weeks now! He’s happy. My husband (the equine vet, specializing in dental) did a number on him. He had some caps that needed to be pulled and one weird tooth that…
Just Call Me Bubba
I can hardly breath watching Elizabeth and Barry drive the horse trailer toward the barn. I’m certain I held my breath for five minutes, until Elizabeth opened the side door and I crawled in to see my new horse, Lynn’s Vision. And there he is, calmly looking right back. He steps carefully off the trailer…

Trails Pose Nothing Tricky for Confident Light Artillery
Hope all is well up there! Back here in my neck of the woods I am enjoying life! It’s the best feeling ever to have the horses back. I have taken “Maverick” on a few trail rides. They are right up his alley anyways. We rode plum into the dark. Both my brothers went with…
