Join the Fun at Bits & Bytes Farm
Have you been following the our Web site? Why have you not come
to see us? We have lots of beautiful horses here to try. We
even have a few openings for boarders —for the first time in
two years! We have a great group of people at the farm and we enjoy
lots of activities and road trips for schooling and showing.
Boarding at Bits & Bytes Farm is the Best!
If you have a Thoroughbred,
this is the farm for you. Our special feeding program and our grass
pastures with four board fencing are perfect for keeping your horse
healthy.

Don't have a Thoroughbred? Why not? Just kidding. We welcome
all geldings that have no stable vices. We look for
people who share our love of horses and have the desire to help
transition ex-racers to a new life. We welcome them as boarders.
When your horse is laid up, you can even ride one of ours.
Morning turnout at Bits & Bytes Farm
This farm is operated by the owners of the property. This is not
a leased farm trying to make a living off of boarders. We over seed
and fertilize our pastures several times a year. We tuck the horses
in every night with a 10 PM feeding of hay and water.
We feed top-of-the-line
Buckeye feeds. Gro 'n Win, flax seed, rice bran and beet pulp are
a part of our feeding program at no additional cost to you! Read
about our feeding program.

Not ready to buy but you have lots of experience?
We can always use a few more "Friends of Bits
& Bytes Farm".
What is a "Friends of Bits & Bytes Farm"?
"Friends" are experienced horse people who
have the time and the desire to help us train and exercise our Thoroughbreds.
Many of our "Friends" rode seriously years ago and now
have the time, but not the horse, to get back into riding. Don't
worry if you are a bit rusty. We can polish your riding skills. There
is nothing like a Thoroughbred to teach you how to be soft with the
seat and hands. You will fall in love on your first ride. We do have
one warning to offer: Most "Friends of Bits & Bytes Farm"
fall in love with a special horse and end up buying him.

new mom Dana McLean.
"Friends of Bits & Bytes Farm" are the first to hear
about the Prospect Horses offered to us from our long list
of approved trainers."Friends" get to ride all the new
horses that make it to the farm. They also get first chance to buy
them. Do you have the desire to join in the fun? Give us a call.
There are only a few stalls available. 770-704-6595.
Call or come
by for a visit - but please call first!
Please call us to discuss which horse might be the best match for
you based on riding skill, experience and equine personality. We
do not send out videos because it is important to match the personality
of the horse with the personality of the rider. We are matchmakers,
not horse brokers. We have horses in a wide price range. Prospect
horses will not be sold to beginners or children without a full time
trainer.
Not all
horses are available for sale when they first come to the farm.
We like to work with them for a while to teach them the basics of
being a safe sport horse and to make sure they are healthy. You are
welcome to visit and to get on a waiting list to be the first to
ride them when we feel they are ready to be ridden by our visitors. Call
us to discuss prices or to schedule an appointment. We
are sorry but we cannot accommodate you if you just drop in unannounced.
We'd love to have you come meet all of our horses--we know that
it will be worth your time. Just bring peppermints!
Our security team springs into action. Sydney, Wizard and Zulu.
