Bit of Heaven
Competition Quality, No Vices, Clean Legs
UPDATE MAY 2016: Bit of Heaven’s owner has decided not to sell her. They have become too attached.
Bit of Heaven is a 2007, 16.1+ hand (and a half inch) tall Thoroughbred mare. She has no vices and is clean legged. She was retired sound from racing and has spent the past couple years relaxing on her breeder/owners farm. When she was retired her owner was going to turn her into a show horse — but life got away from her and mare hasn’t been doing much.
Bit of Heaven has a half brother named Izzyourstar who never made the races but is making a name for himself in the jumper would around Aiken.
“Bit” is great at turn out with other horses or by herself. She will definitely need a patient, experienced, firm but kind owner and rider. She has been slightly spoiled and allowed to do what she pleases. The first 30 days should be spent establishing personal space and a little more patience on her part. If this scares you, then look at other horses. She will quickly become a star with an experience hand. She is currently barefoot and up-to-date on everything.
This is a stunningly gorgeous horse with beautiful movement and talent. She can do anything you ask of her. She is not marish at all. If she looks this good on just turnout how good could she look with continuous grooming and exercise?
She would probably make an “A” circuit hunter. It will not take much to get her there but she is not a horse for an inexperienced horse person because she has had too much time off and not enough work – although you can’t tell it by how fit she looks. This is a really nice horse for a competition rider.
Frequently Asked Questions About Buying Our Thoroughbreds
What is the price of this horse?
Prices are not published because the price can go up or down depending on how the horse is racing. Most horses average $3500 but can be as low as $1000 or up to $5000. We will share the prices when you call. If the horse you call about is not in your budget, we may be able to recommend another horse that is.
What is the Jockey Club name of this horse?
Jockey Club names are not usually listed on the site as the sellers do not want calls from people who have not been screened by us for having the skills to help these horses into new careers. Most horses come with their Jockey Club papers and we will be happy to provide links to their race records and pedigrees when you make the decision to move forward with a purchase. Horses’ whose names are in quotes are not the actual name of the horse. That is the nickname we have listed the horse by.
Where is this horse located?
When we say this is a Prospect Horse, that means the horse is not at our farm in the Atlanta area. Prospect horses are still at the track or owner or trainer’s farm. We can tell you where the horse is when you call. Thoroughbreds move from track to track and to the farm and back. We cannot keep this web site current with so many horses listed and all moving around. That is why we don’t post the location. We are happy to share where the horse is when you call. We may have to make a phone call to find out where the horse is ourselves, but we are happy to share the info with you…if you call.

If you see a horse you like:

Don’t wonder how much he is – CALL!
Don’t wait to see what your friends say – CALL!
We are not going to talk you into buying a horse! More likely we will ask you to tell us about yourself and your goals. Then, we will help you find the right match or tell you to wait for other horses because none of the current horses are a match.
Prices change based on what price the owner has set. We add a small markup for our services. Prices can go up or down based on how the horse is racing or how quickly the owner wants the horse sold. Most Prospect horses are priced under $5000 with the average being around $3500. Big sound geldings, grey horses and tall horses usually cost more — but not always. Small mares are your best bet if you are price sensitive.

Lynn’s Vision aka Bubba at his last race – July 5, 2008. He was purchased by Melanie Eberhardt right after this race and brought back to Bits & Bytes Farm the next day. Melanie was riding him just one day later and he was a complete gentleman.
