Mighty Miracle
Chitu x Dagney Darling 2019 Jockey Club colt We were blessed with Mighty Miracle on April 4, 2019. Sadly his mom passed away the day after he was born, so he was bottle fed for two days before we were able to find a nurse mare for him. Watch for this guy to do great things! He has truly lived up to his name more than once! He is currently with our trainer, Kathy Ritvo, at Gulfstream Park. FL Bred Breeders Cup Nominated FSS Nominated |

Ballyhoo Kat
Storm Cat x Sharp Lisa by Dixieland Band
2008 Jockey Club Mare
Ballyhoo Kat was purchased at the January 2018 OBS sale. We love the Storm Cat line and are so excited to own a Storm Cat daughter! Her dam, Sharp Lisa, was a multiple G1 and G2 stakes winner. She came to us with a brand new beautiful bay filly by her side by First Dude who is known for coming in 2nd place in the 2010 Preakness Stakes and 3rd in the 2010 Belmont Stakes.
She is currently being leased and is living in Lexington, Kentucky as a nurse mare with Nursemares of Kentucky. We are so proud that she can do God’s work and be a mom to an orphan baby! She loves foals but just can’t have any more of her own. She now has an even more important job, helping raise foals who have no mama. Her milk will be chemically induced so she will not have to be pregnant in order to produce milk. This is such a wonderful program and is a blessing to the people and foals!

Yours Truly 2002 year old Quarter Horse Mare "Maggie" is a Quarter Horse mare that we have had the honor of owning for several years now. Ashley has competed her in the hunters and jumpers, as well as a few hunter paces. She has also served as a great lesson horse for young riders. Maggie is now being used as a best friend and show horse for Ashley's daughter, Gracie McDaniel. UPDATE: Maggie is now retired and is being used as a therapeutic riding horse at Butterfly Dreams Farm in Georgia. |
Buck The Attitude
Alajwad (by Storm Cat) x Trini's Treasure
2010 Jockey Club TB filly
"Penny" is by Alajwad, who is a son of the famous Storm Cat. (pictured below on far right...and we think she looks just like him!) She has famous Thoroughbred lineage such as Affirmed, Secretariat, Mr. Prospector and Buckpasser. We have owned her since she was a yearling and have shown her successfully in the hunter ring. She never raced.
Penny is in foal to Chitu, who is standing stud at Bridlewood Farm in Ocala, FL. Chitu ran in the 2014 Kentucky Derby and was undefeated up to that point! He is by Henny Hughes who is the sire of the great Beholder. We are super excited to see what these two will produce next year! Chitu is pictured in the first two photos below.
We are so sad to report we lost Penny and her beautiful unborn chestnut colt who we had already named Bluebird on Christmas Eve, 2017. We feel as though a giant portion of our hearts have gone to heaven with them. This is by far one of the most heartbreaking losses for me that I have ever experienced. I loved Penny as though she were my child. Bluebird was perfect...3 stockings, a sock and a blaze, but it was just too early for him to live outside of his mama who put up a huge fight to live. I know they are in heaven with my dad and I will be reunited with my loves again.

This page is dedicated to the memory of my father, Roger Godwin, who thanks to him allowed me to follow my dreams as a horse loving little girl. He not only purchased my first horse, Sultan, for me in 1985, he always supported my "horse habit" with a smile. Sultan passed away at Rivermont in 2012 and Dad passed away in March of 2013. Farm life isn't the same without him.
