Bubba is quite content living at Bits & Bytes Farm. He is an extremely kind soul, enjoys snuggles and has a willing attitude. He is extremely conscious of the horse hierarchy and just likes to stay out of trouble. I would say he’s probably a bit more comfortable around people than other horses with one notable exception – Hollywood Vic.

At the racetrack, Bubba and Hollywood were stalled side by side. When Bubba arrived at Bits & Bytes, Elizabeth and Barry gave him a stall next to Hollywood so he had an immediate friend. I’m grateful that these seemingly small nuances are recognized. I believe that a stronger bond is forged with our horses when we permit ourselves to listen to them. They tell us what they need and want and I try really hard to understand and act.

So for Bubba, he finds a great deal of comfort being with his old friend from track. And a happy Bubba makes me happy too.
