Twisted Pride - Thoroughbred Gelding For Sale from Bits & Bytes Farm
Twisted Pride is a 2019, dark bay 16 hand unraced Thoroughbred ...
Twisted Pride is a 2019, dark bay 16 hand unraced Thoroughbred gelding. He is unraced and has no history of injuries. He does have a bad case of the slows ...so, his owner is not willing to keep trying to make him into a racehorse.
While he might not be fast enough for the races, we like that. He is flashy with three white stockings and a big blaze and he will get noticed in the show ring.
What makes us want to list this horse is that he is related to three other Western Pride babies we have had the pleasure to work with. Two we sold, Justnamehimeddie and In Her Image (aka the ‘Marvelous Missy Mae’), and one we kept for ourselves, Cowgirls Pride. These are all half-siblings with Western Pride as their sire. He stamps his babies and you can look at the others and see they are related. The best trait Western Pride passes on is his temperament. Each and every one of these horses is amateur-friendly. They have great brains and beauty.
Call if you are interested and we can tell you about his family. We are considering bringing the horse to the farm and the price would be much higher if that happens. If we do bring the horse to the farm, I am afraid we might not sell him if he is as much a lover as his sister, Cowgirls Pride.[+] Show More

Paynted Thoroughbred Horse For Sale - Bits & Byte Farm
Meet Paynted, a wonderful 2016, 16 1/2 hand Thoroughbred gelding who's ...
Meet Paynted, a wonderful 2016, 16 1/2 hand Thoroughbred gelding who's looking for a new chapter in his life. While he's had a successful racing career with 24 starts, including ...six wins (two just this year!), he's ready to transition to a new career. At seven years young, he's all set for a fresh start in a loving forever home as a sport horse.
This handsome fella is a true gem, both in his looks and behavior. He's a stunning mover, and his manners on the ground are top-notch. Whether you're into dressage, eventing, or hunter disciplines, he's up for the challenge. He's a breeze to handle for the blacksmith, while trailering, and with the vet. With his impressive presence and outstanding movement, he's bound to catch everyone's eye in the show ring.
Paynted has some incredible breeding in him. His maternal grandfather is Tiznow and his paternal grandmother, Tizso, is a full sister to Tiznow. Tiznow’s breeding goes back to Relaunch and Seattle Slew. Paynted’s sire is Paynter whose sire is Awesome Again. Side note: Paynter (Paynted’s sire) was second in the Awesome Again Stakes (named for Paynter’s sire). Paynted is extremely well bred and the fact that he has raced so long tells you he has good genes. See Paynted’s pedigree to see his remarkable family. Paynted's lineage is truly remarkable. His family tree boasts names like Tiznow, Relaunch, and Seattle Slew, making for some incredible breeding.
While Paynted is a light cribber, his habit is fully under control with a strap, which his owner will provide. Importantly, he doesn't crib when he's turned out, and many horses tend to leave such habits behind when leaving the racing scene. Additionally, he has old and well-set osselets that won't impact his future pursuits. He's an easy keeper and has enjoyed time with other horses during breaks from racing. He is believed sound for any career.
This incredible horse has so much potential, and despite his minor quirks, he's an ideal candidate for someone willing to look beyond them. In fact, he could be a fantastic candidate for next year's Retired Racehorse Project. With his rich history and promising future, Paynted is ready to become a cherished companion in his next adventure.

King T'Challa - Thoroughbred horse for sale from Bits & Bytes Farm
King T'Challa is a 2017, 15.2 hh bay Thoroughbred gelding for sale. ...
King T'Challa is a 2017, 15.2 hh bay Thoroughbred gelding for sale. Don't let his size sway you. He has the most heart of any horse his trainer has ever ...been around. He tries so hard with everything you ask him to do.
He loves having his head scratched, brushed, and washed. He will stand with his head pressed in your chest wanting to be petted and rubbed. His owner and trainer had decided to retire him at the end of this season but the races and distances he normally runs have not been going so he is having to run further than he prefers. He is the barn pet.
T'Challa stands ties for baths and grooming. He is good with the blacksmith and vet. He loads on a step-up and ramp trailer. His trainer has traveled all over racing this horse and she always handles him by herself. He is the best-mannered, sweetest guy who only wants to please you. He is a talker and a greeter when you come to the barn. He loves to train, be ridden, and just be interacted with. He is the complete package for anyone. He is not lazy but rides very easily forward and really could go any direction you wish to train him in.
He is smart. Real smart. It took his trainer about 30 seconds to teach T'Challa how to bow for treats. When you ride a horse, and especially a smart Thoroughbred, you are always either training or untraining. He does need a rider who will be firm with him as he is very smart. He is not a difficult ride, but if he figures out that you don't know what you are doing, he could easily become the boss.
King T'Challa has two blemishes. His right knee is leaking synovial joint so there is always fluid on his knee. The injury happened as a late yearling. He has raced with it. The fluid never carries any heat and it has never been drained because the vet said it would just fill up and come back. The second injury is a small outside splint on the right front which happened in a race last June. Splints are considered a blemish and not a soundness issue if they are old. He was given appropriate time off after the injury. T'Challa has never been injected. He has always remained sound during his racing career.
He was bred by his owner and we know his whole life history. He has always had time off each year from racing. He has not been turned out with anyone else in a couple of years but he should adjust well into a herd.
Requirements of a potential buyer:
Please remember that King T'Challa loves human contact and loves to be handled. He would do best in a home where he is ridden and handled most days. He really could go any direction from trail horse, jumper, barrel horse, or eventer. He has no limitations at all. His owner and trainer will be picky as to where he goes and they would like an occasional picture or write-up about him. This is really imperative.
Making the decision to sell this horse has been very hard, even though he was not the most successful racehorse. He has touched a lot of hearts along the way and everyone knows who he is. He will dress himself with his own crown of hay as you can see in the pictures and videos. He is just the sweetest funniest horse who loves all kinds of treats and fruits. If you're eating, he is eating it right beside you. He will be your lifelong buddy if your love and care for him. This horse is so trusting and will follow you to the end of the earth.

Omi Ten is a 2017, dark bay Thoroughbred mare who is 15 hands. She is super cute, sound, clean legs, and up-to-date on everything. She is ready for a new ...sport horse career. She has been raced by her owner/trainer so she has gotten lots of love and attention. Omi is super easy to ride at the track so this means that she will be an easy horse to transition. Just about anybody could ride her. She loads herself on a step-up trailer and travels well. She is not marish.
This girl is very well-bred. Her sire is Tale of the Cat who stood at Ashford Stud and shuttled to Australia & New Zealand because he was so good. His sire is Storm Cat. Her other grandsire is Pulpit by A.P. Indy. Other notable horses in her pedigree include Secretariat, Seattle Slew, Northern Dancer, Honest Pleasure, Mr. Prospector, Nearctic, and Raise a Native.
If you're looking for a smaller horse that is ready to finish to your discipline, hurry and call. Omi would be beautiful in the children's hunter ring. There is not a blemish on her and is ready for her new career. She has nothing in her history to limit what she can do. Her last race was in May and she is barefoot and turned out with six geldings...who she is the boss of.
