ABOUT US
. We are dedicated in finding new homes and new careers for horses in need. We are an all volunteer organization who spends countless hours of our time to make our program a success. Our facility is located in Linden, PA. BITS came together as a committed group of people who were looking to put their love of horses and their diverse strengths towards a wonderful purpose. We have successfully placed many horses into new homes throughout the United States.
Horses enter our program through donation by caring owners or by rescue from auction houses where their fate most often is the slaughterhouse. Each year, thousands of horses are sent to slaughter. In most cases, the owner unknowingly sends their beloved horse off to auction or gives them away because they do not realize they have other choices. Our organization is in place to make people aware they do have a choice and also to give horses a second chance at a long life in a new home and assures the owner that their beloved animal will be loved and cared for instead of facing the horrors of a slaughter house.

BITS OF NEWS
AUCTION FUNDSWe are asking for your help in making a difference in the lives of slaughter bound horses!
We regularly travel to auctions and purchase directly from the sales ring. The majority of the horses that go through these sales are purchased by dealers and are shipped to slaughter! Donations can be made safely and securely through PayPal: Please take a moment and help us in helping horses by making a donation to this fundraising effort! All funds raised will be used for the purchase and after care of horses pulled from this auction!
AVAILABLE HORSESPlease visit our Available Horses link to find out more information on the horses we currently have available for adoption!
VISITS TO OUR FACILITYWe love to show off our horses, but do so by appointment only. This is done not only for your safety, but for the safety and security of horses in our care.
Please do not feel free to stop in and stroll the barns and pastures! Keep in mind that we do rescue from auction houses - we have horses at our facility in quarantine and also have brought in horses with aggressive behaviour - without a guided tour you will not know this and could possibly contaminate all of our horses, your own horses or be seriously injured! We do realize you may currently have horses and feel you know them very well - but you do not know OUR horses! Please call 570-974-1087 to make an appointment to visit the horses we have available for adoption. |
NEW FACES
WHO'S BLUFFING "BLUFF"The BITS Barn would like to welcome "Bluff" to the BITS family! He is a 12 YO Thoroughbred gelding. He is out of "Poisonous" by "Pine Bluff". This guy ran his heart out on the track, winning close to $525,000! We were alerted to Bluff from a concerned friend of BITS. After speaking with the gentleman that had him and after seeing pictures of his condition, we knew he needed help and we agreed to bring him on at our facility. During our intake process, we found numerous ticks throughout his body as well as several nasty bite and kick wounds from his pasture mates.Bluff is currently in our rehabilitation program but will be available for adoption in the future.We will be taking Bluff to the vet clinic to get the lump on his face checked and we feel with as many ticks that were pulled from him, we should have him tested and possibly treated for Lyme disease. We are looking for a few angels for Bluff. If you would like to become an Angel donations can be made safely and securely through PayPal.
