OTTBs: Off-the-Track Thoroughbreds We Have SOLD!

These are just some of the more recent Thoroughbred ex-race horses we have found new jobs for. Be sure to go to our OTTB Success Stories to read more about how they are doing in their new careers. We require all buyers to keep in touch with us to let us know how the horse is doing. We offer free advice and placement services to all our buyers and the horses we place. Sometimes a horse comes to Bits & Bytes Farm to get it's initial training. We are always happy to start any horse we have for sale. Safe, sane and sound Thoroughbreds are what we sell.

Arista Bird - Thoroughbred Mare SOLD by Bits & Bytes Farm

Arista Bird is a stunning 5-year-old Thoroughbred mare. She has only had a few races under her belt, and she has not shown great promise or potential as a racehorse. ...In her three races, she finished 12th, 5th, and 9th place. As you can see in the photos and video of her, taken on the day she retired from the track, she has a gentle and kind demeanor. The young lady riding her, started her in when Arista was just two years old. Coming off the track this quiet and sweet, shows just how much care and love has been invested in this mare by her owner and contacts.

It is clear to see that Arista has been well-cared for throughout her life. She is sound, with no vices, and she is not marish. She can be turned out with other mares or geldings. She enjoys living outside with a run-in shed when she is not racing. She has some of the best feet we have ever seen on a Thoroughbred. She might even be able to go barefoot if you footing allow for this.

This mare is an absolute dream to be around, and her behavior is a testament to the love and attention she has received from her owner. Arista is a calm and well-mannered mare who loves nothing more than to be brushed and bathed. She is a joy to handle and is well-behaved for vets and farriers. She loads easily onto step-up and ramp trailers and can be tied up anywhere. Her behavior around the barn is just as uncomplicated as it is on the track. This mare is an absolute pleasure to have in your barn, and she loves to be the center of attention.

Arista Bird's owner has a deep connection with her. He wants nothing but the best for her, and finding her a comfortable and loving retirement home is of utmost importance to him. With her RRP eligibility, no physical limitations, and promising potential, Arista could make an excellent upper-level hunter. Standing at 16 hands high, she still has some growing and filling out to do, but she is already a stunning mare.

If you're looking for a mare with a heart of gold, Arista Bird is located in Campbellsville, KY, and is waiting for her forever home. Arista Bird has been SOLD! Congratulations to Colleen Morris of Johnsbury, VT.

Please call for pricing. The price can go up or down depending on the owner. We always check with the owner when someone is a serious buyer. Many times the price goes down to a really good home. We do not own these horses so we cannot control the pricing. We will not sell a horse to just anyone with the money. We carefully select the horses we sell and we work hard to make a perfect match. If you don’t call, we cannot help you. We are not a rescue and our horses are not ‘rescue priced’. Most horses are between $2500 and $5500 – some higher and some lower. Call and we can talk more about our horses and let us help you find the perfect match. We take the gamble out of getting a Thoroughbred off-the-track. Learn more about how our Track Prospect Horses are priced on the main Bits & Bytes Farm website.

I look forward to speaking with you. Please call 770-704-6595 between 9am and 9pm. East Coast Time - Elizabeth Wood
