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.

Happy Birthday Thoroughbreds!
My last Hollywood Vic update included Halloween photos, so I know it has been too long! Here we are in January, one month away from a very special anniversary for my Hollywood Vic and I..one year on February 10th. He is bigger, stronger, sweeter (if that is possible) and into his 5th year of life!…

Home Sweet Home for Dixon’s Chief
Dixons Chief arrived about 10pm last night. He is a cutie! His pictures did not due him justice! Where I have my boys at there is a very narrow one-lane road that leads to the barn, so I had the shipper…
Tru Native is a SUPER TRUPER!
Tru Native is young and green and he was sore. Now he is a SUPER TRUPER after his chiropractic adjustment.
Trail Riding Triple Lindy
Lindy and I took our first of many long trail rides cross country. I’m guessing it may have been a first for her since she looked at everything. We rode up and down the hills, through the fields and on the trails through woods for about two hours. It was wonderful!!! She was very brave and very honest– no silly or thoughtless moves 🙂 Lindy learned about stepping over logs and by the end of our ride she was a pro.
TK’s Turn Speaks English
This is actually a TK (TK’s Turn) story, and it doesn’t involve Butch, although he did ask the other day how many horses we have. I just said “I don’t know”, and he left it alone. Too easy. Anyway, I just thought this was really funny: I was riding TK behind our house yesterday (walking),…
Chipawild Does Well in “Traffic”
Walk, trot and canter on the lunge and walking and trotting under saddle. Chipawild is getting used to having “traffic” in the ring with her.
Bubba Encounters the Gates of Hell and They are Guarded by Three Ornery Arabs
Bubba and I have enjoyed being at Bits & Bytes Farm for the last month. But I think its time for him to come home and meet his new siblings, my three white Arabians (GG, Nettie and Kain) and little brown pony, Joe. I’ve fixed broken fencing and reset a few crooked posts. I’ve gone…
Outflankem – A Gentleman with an Easy Manner
The weather here has really put a damper on things. It seems every day we either have rain, snow, or gale force winds. The only days we get a break, I have to work! My daughter decided she did not like the name “Ronnie” and informed us she had changed Outflankem’s name to “Bailey”. I…
