TBs at Bits & Bytes Farm
Have You Seen Our YouTube Retraining Thoroughbreds Channel?
Here is a small selection of the videos you will find on our BitsandBytes Farm YouTube Channel. We have many videos to help you start training your off-the-track-Thoroughbred (OTTB). We also have some ‘dirty videos’ too… not that kind!
Prospect Horse Swear is in Training at Bits & Bytes Farm
Swear has had two weekends of training. What has this off-the-track Thoroughbred learned in five rides?

He is now 21 and still jumping!

The Ride of a Lifetime
I always wanted to know what it was like to ride a Thoroughbred on a race track and fly like the wind. The In Unison Farm Hunter Pace at the Atlanta Steeplechase race track in Kingston, GA gave me the opportunity to live a “A Dream Ride Five Decades in the Making”.
Know In Advance Meets Her New Mom
Our EARLY RELEASE Mailing List is great if you are looking to find a safe, sane and sound Thoroughbred before it becomes public on the Internet. A recent mailing for “Knowing” was sent out and Karen McPeak had her interest “peaked”.
