Thoroughbred Horses For Sale | Retraining Off-the-Track Thoroughbreds | Success Stories
We did a quick run up to Keeneland Race Track to check on a few horses we are waiting to become available for sale. Even when there is no racing at Keeneland it has lots of activity because it is a training center for Thoroughbreds. While in Kentucky, we stopped by our favorite breeder’s farm to get more photos of Great Game and pick up some fantastic Kentucky hay for the horses back home. Enjoy our story and photos . . .

Last weekend we had the pleasure of a visit from Danielle Newton of Chicago. She came to see With Wings and fell in love with So Romeo. Unfortunately, neither horse is the perfect match for her so she will continue her search. We did get some great photos of With Wings and So Romeo so check them out on their pages.

Our baby Saint Lawrence was gelded yesterday. He is too young to drink Dos Equis but the hangover from his anesthesia was as bad as having too many. Check out the video . . .

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.
