Bits N' Bunny Celebrates 2nd Anniversary


People are in a relentless pursuit to stand out amongst the crowd, attempting to be distinguished, ironically, by molding themselves in accordance to the whim of pop-culture. However, the only way to be unique is to be your natural self - to follow your heart's truest desires. 

For me, it is the Thoroughbred that resides in my soul. This is my universe, my world, my country - the splendor of splendors, the agony of agonies. This spirit's gift has granted me a voice and a passion. I follow it down the path of racing unconditionally with open arms. 

I never allege to be a reporter or even a writer for that matter. Writing has become my tool to expose the desire that lives within me. I can proclaim to be a biographer, a witness to the magnificent Thoroughbred past and present.
It is a great honor to tell the stories of the most fervent triumphs and tragedies of the turf and consider the responsibilities of accuracy essential. Just as the horse is the jockey’s medium for speed, words take a stand on the podium of my soul. – “Tools of Desire 

I will never forget a conversation with Steve Haskin at the 2012 Breeders’ Cup. Steve said, “If you don’t share it with the ones you love, then why bother doing it?”
I offer my heartfelt appreciation to all the people who have taken their time to speak to me, read my words, and share their own passion for horse racing with me.  
February 2013 marks the second anniversary of the website Bits N’ Bunny.  The first anniversary was celebrated with a slideshow, and recently there have been requests for another.  This slideshow highlights some treasured memories from BNB’s second year.
A special thank you goes out to friend and photographer Tom Ferry. He has captured many incredible moments and has been so kind to share them.

  1. Just lovely, Bunny! Your passion brings tears of joy for me. Am somewhat envious that you have discovered what makes your heart sing at so young an age and have a lifetime to enjoy it. I can testify, though, at any age, the love of the horses and the sport is a worthwhile pursuit and offers a tonic for the soul. Thanks for sharing and for your impeccable research, which adds a dimension a mere writer or poet could not hope to achieve. Hugs.

  2. Thank you for your kind words! They are truly appreciated. My parents have raised me to pursue the things I love. Doing so and sharing these moments with people like you brings me great joy. It is a blessing to have fallen in love with Thoroughbreds - they are a living wonder of the world. I'm excited to share the sport with you for the years to come! Hugs!
