/ News & Information / 1 minute of reading

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.

Power Master is our newest Thoroughbred horse for sale. He is a 2008, bay Thoroughbred gelding who is already almost 17 hands! He is for sale from his breeder who is cutting back on the number of horses she is racing. This horse should go to a serious competitor. It is not often we get a horse that is young and unraced. He has looks, brains and the movement to do very well as a dressage or eventing prospect. Pass the word on to the eventing world. This is the young prospect you have been waiting for!
