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.

Ex-Race Horse, Leader Board Scores Big!
Leader Board is AMAZING!!! We love him so much already. I think that some people at my barn were skeptical of getting an off the track horse, especially since I haven’t been on one in a few years, but he is proving them wrong. Within the first day, people were commenting on how quiet and…
Run Around Gal – Retires the Broodmare Trophy at Upperville!
Run Around Gal travelled to Upperville for the broodmare class, as a Hunter Breeding handler saw her here (in Atlanta) and thought she could win, thus retire the broodmare trophy for a woman who had won it two times before — she needed one more win to retire it.

Popular One Has People!
We received the papers on Moose. Impressive. I wanted to know his birthdate and now I know. Thanks for giving the trainer’s son our number so he can see Moose when his family comes down in April. We are cold here but Moose has a thick winter coat and a blanket.

Gold Commander One Loves to Play
. . .a little more than six months later, I’m as happy as ever with him. He’s a very thoughtful, playful, curious and intelligent horse, representing Thoroughbreds very well. He likes to lip ponytails of the girls at the barn; he snatches lead ropes and halters off hooks and tosses them in the air, and; he also likes to drink water out of water bottles – a real ham.
