🐴 BOARDING OPPORTUNITY 🐴
**Calling All Adult Ammy Riders Who Just Want to Ride Their Horse in Peace**

No drama. No barn politics. No one trying to prove they’re better than you on a 1,000-lb animal that doesn’t care about any of it.
Bits & Bytes Farm in Canton, GA is opening up boarding spots for grown-up riders who jump, event, or ride dressage because it’s fun — not because you’re chasing a ribbon or a rivalry.
Here’s what you’ll find here:
✅ A barn full of adults who actually like each other
✅ Jumping, eventing, and dressage riders who cheer for each other instead of side-eyeing each other
✅ A farm built on second chances (we specialize in off-track Thoroughbreds — turns out they’re pretty good at second chances, and so are we)
✅ Decades of experience and a crew that treats your horse like family
If your idea of a good ride is a happy horse, a ride in the arena or woods, and zero group-chat drama afterward — you might already be one of us.

🐎 Come see what boarding at Bits & Bytes Farm feels like. $1,100. per month. Call us at (770)704-6595 (landline, no texts, please) — we’d love to have you visit. Check out our website for more information about our farm. https://www.bitsandbytesfarm.com

I guess flying horses is kind of like driving a horse trailer. You have to take the turns slow.

Backside Basics: Racetrack Traffic Lanes

One of the first things an exercise rider has to learn is that the racetrack has a flow. You don’t just go wherever there’s open space — different parts of the track are used for different speeds and different types of work.

Counterclockwise is where the at-speed work happens.

Starting from the inside rail and working your way outward:

* Inside rail: workers / at-speed work
* About 2 paths off the rail: fast gallops
* Middle of the track: regular gallops
* 3–4 paths off the outside rail: slow gallops and jogging the right way

The far outside rail is where horses jogging clockwise should stay.

Knowing these lanes helps riders anticipate what the horses around them are doing. A horse working on the inside rail is moving at a very different speed than one jogging along the outside, so being in the correct place matters for everyone’s safety.

Communication is just as important as knowing the lanes.

Some common calls you’ll hear on the track include:

“Inside” or “Outside” — letting someone know which side you’re passing on. Whenever possible, try to pass on the inside rather than going around someone on the outside.

“Heads up” — used when you’re having trouble with a horse and need the people around you to be aware.

“Whoa, back” — called when you’re stopping or pulling up so riders behind you know your speed is changing.

“Coming by” — letting another rider know you’re passing.

“Outrider” — called when you need the outrider’s assistance. Don’t wait until you’re already on top of them — give them as much time as possible to see you, react, and get into position to help.

A busy racetrack can have horses jogging, galloping, breezing, pulling up, and moving in opposite directions all at the same time. The system works because everyone understands the flow, communicates, and pays attention to what’s happening around them.

Different horses. Different jobs. Same track.

Andie loved her Thoroughbred, Call Me Ferdie. He is the grandson of Ferdinand, the 1986 Kentucky Derby winner and 1987 Horse of the Year, whose later slaughter in Japan helped spur greater focus on Thoroughbred retirement and aftercare.

If you would like to honor Andie Krakovsky, instead of flowers, her family suggests donating to the Friends of Ferdinand, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to the aftercare of Thoroughbred racehorses.

It is with great sadness that I have to share the news that Andie Krakovsky, mom to Call Me Ferdie, has passed. Her services are tomorrow (September 9, 2026) at Arlington Cemetery in Sandy Springs at 11 AM. Andie loved her Thoroughbred, and everyone loved Andie. Please keep Andie and her family in your prayers. Please share this post with anyone who might have known Andie. Andy Lewyn Krakovsky
