The horses in our Bargain Barn are on this page because they do not fit the requirements for our Prospect Horses at the Track. These horses are not at Bits & Bytes Farm. They are either at the track or at their owner’s farm. Usually they are older or have an old injury that limits their future careers. These are not “rescue” horses but they may not be suitable for a strenuous career. We work with lots of trainers and breeders who provide us with gorgeous sound Thoroughbreds ready for a new career. Often these trainers and breeders have a special horse they would like us to find a forever home for. That is the purpose of this Bargain Barn page. The owners of these horses will fully disclose the health and racing history of these horses so that they can find the right match. See photos of some of the former Bargain Barn horses we have placed.

We have a bunch of horses located in upstate NY on the farm of one of our breeders. These horses are all very special and need to find a good home for Christmas. Some are young, some are older but all of them are wonderful horses that are not going to make it at the track or have finished their racing careers. These horses are not the usual Bits & Bytes Farm prospects and they really do not fit as Bargain Barn horses so we decided to give them a page of their own. See the page for the bargain priced Thoroughbred horses for sale in New York. They are all priced at $1500 or LESS!

Taylor’s Hope aka “Taylor” was lightly raced and did win a race. She is a 1998 broodmare who stands at 15.2 hands. She has had several foals and has no problems in giving birth even though she is small. Her pedigree is just not strong enough to be commercial.
