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.

Julia and Coastside Working Toward First Ride
I lunged Coastside in a saddle today and plan on riding him tomorrow! Once we look pretty good I will take pictures of us riding and send them to you. Julia
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.
Smart Eddie is Dapper Eddie
Eddie is 100% sound and doing great after a foot abscess. He has been very spoiled by his new parents and grandparents. He has a new wardrobe head to tail and his custom fit saddle is on it’s way:) he has a great personality and is super smart.
Chipawild – Not At All Wild
Chipawild is doing very well. Doing lead changes and starting to jump small courses. My daughter’s trainer says she is very easy and learns quickly – only has to be shown things once. She still needs a lot of leg and the professional who schools her says she needs to push all the time at the canter to keep her from breaking – maybe why she wasn’t the fastest!
Rap It Up Opens Gates & Jumps – One Month Update
Rap had a good day Saturday. I worked him in the ring schooling him over ground poles to improve his stride and then over low jumps up to 2′. He is doing great and gets better with each session. I also took him on a nice quiet trail ride after the ring work and he did great on that too! We rode out across the hayfield while the tractors were raking and baling hay, he never paid a minutes attention to the tractors.
Wolfie Moves Up to 3′
Former race horse Austin’s Wolf is proving that off-the-track Thoroughbreds can compete and win on the “A” Show circuit.
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…
