Thoroughbred Horses For Sale | Retraining Off-the-Track Thoroughbreds | Success Stories
It was a beautiful Easter Sunday morning but it was a little too early for Monarch’s Reign to be up for a trail ride. He fell asleep on his saddle as his mom tried to tack him up in the trailer. See the photos of our ride and our Easter/birthday party that we enjoyed when we returned to the farm on our 2011 Outings & Training Photos page under Training Thoroughbreds.
We have a new baby at the farm. He is the younger brother of Running Tall aka Chewy and his registered name is Saint Lawrence aka Baby Chewy.
Sunday was such a perfect spring day that we decided to take the Oliver’s new 4 Star trailer on a test run to Garland Mountain in north Georgia with their two Thoroughbreds — Political Pull and Spot Run. We loaded four more Thoroughbreds into the Bits & Bytes Farm’s 4 Star to join in on the fun. So Romeo, With Wings, Monarch’s Reign and our newest off-the-track Thoroughbred, Detroit Iron aka “Andy” all enjoy trail riding. We have a photo gallery showing the beautiful day on our new page 2011 Outings and Training Photos.

Great Game is now listed on our Prospect Horses for sale page. We did her early release on the Bits & Bytes Farm Facebook Fan page so that followers of us on Facebook could have the first view of her. We now have new photos from our visit last week to her breeders farm in Lexington, KY. A group of us were on our way home from the Equine Affaire in Columbus, OH when we stopped in to visit with our favorite breeder and see the new babies at the farm.
Great Game is a gorgeous black mare and we already had her first foal in training at Bits & Bytes Farm — Running Tall.

Several off-the-track Thoroughbred owners from Bits & Bytes Farm recently had the pleasure of meeting Alex Brown of Barbaro fame. His Web site www.alexbrownracing.com kept the world informed as Barbaro struggled to survive his breakdown in the 2006 Preakness. He has written an excellent book about Barbaro and it is filled with photos and stories from the people who knew and loved Barbaro. Grab yourself a copy at Alex Brown’s Web site. We were fortunate to get signed copies of the book for our equine library.
