about Bits & Bytes Farm |
Boarding > about b & bBits & Bytes Farm is the home of Elizabeth Wood and Barry Zuber. Elizabeth has owned her own horse continuously since she was five years old. K.C. Banner is the first horse she trained from the start and he was born on her parent's farm in 1972. Banner went on to do local horse shows competing as a jumper, then to eventing to the preliminary level, he played polo and finished his career as a fox hunter with Elizabeth riding him side saddle. Banner passed away in 2004 on the farm. Read a wonderful poem called. "My old gelding."
After years of competing Elizabeth and Barry found that with the demands of their multimedia computer business, Egeland Wood & Zuber, Inc., they did not need the pressures of competing and turned to fox hunting. Barry has been riding for 21 years after meeting Elizabeth on a cruise. He soon learned, that in order to be a part of her life, he would need to become a horsman. After one month of lessons, he was fox hunting. After surviving his first fox hunt season, Barry and Elizabeth were married and Barry bought his first horse -- an appaloosa named Chocolate Chips.
Barry learned to ride thoroughbreds when Elizabeth was injured at a fox hunt and he needed to exercise her thoroughbred Big Money. He enjoyed Big Money so much that he wanted to keep riding and fox hunting him. That forced Elizabeth to find another horse to hunt for herself. Chips was sold to a boarder and unfortunately she choose to move him after all his years with Barry. Chips is twenty five this year and still healthy! Big Money has since been sold but remains at the Bits & Bytes Farm.
