We are into week two for the training of former race horses Spot Run and Imatexan. This week they both did trail rides and cantered with their moms. It is pretty amazing that these Thoroughbreds come along so quickly with their training.
Follow along with Spot Run’s Training Diary written by his teenage owner Katelyn. Learn what it is like to retrain an ex-race horse through the eyes and thoughts of a young rider. We have video of their first canter and first trail ride on our BitsandBytesFarm YouTube Channel. You will also see video of Imatexan on her first trail ride off-the-farm. She went to Garland Mt. with Classic Casey and With Wings. We had a great time cantering then all through the trails. More photos tomorrow.

Our favorite boy “Lucky” has found his special person! Heather Blair of Warner Robbins, GA is the lucky lady who will get to share “Lucky’s” zest for life. Heather is a good friend of Dr. Susan Llewallyn Goodman (Imatexan and Audible – the mule). “Lucky” will be with Heather until he retires and then he will return to Bits & Bytes Farm. Heather loves his ‘can do attitude’ and they should have a great time together. “Lucky” has been the unofficial mascot of Bits & Bytes Farm for years and he will be missed by all but we know he deserves to be the center of attention for one special person. Heather is his “Lucky Lady”. Read more . . .
