Mighty Miracle
Chitu x Dagney Darling
2019 Jockey Club colt
FL Bred
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.
He has truly lived up to his name more than once! He is a miracle in every sense of the word! He has survived two colic surgeries and pneumonia.
He has recently retired from racing, he has been gelded and returned to the farm to live out the rest of his days with us!

Valiant Miss
Valiant Minister x Prize Informant 2019 Jockey Club Filly (Foaled 4/28/19) Valiant Miss is the 2019 filly by our Stakes winning mare mentioned above, Prize Informant. This filly is put together so nicely and has the mind to go with her good looks and size! This is an exception filly! Her disposition is as beautiful as her good looks! She's also a good sized filly who is very correct and extremely intelligent. She took about a 5 month break at the farm just to get some rest and relaxation but has just returned to Gulfstream with our trainer Kathy Ritvo. BREAKING NEWS! Valiant Miss became Rivermont Farm’s first winner when she won on March 5, 2023 at Gulfstream Park! We are so proud of this outstanding filly! She is now retired from racing and back home to live in paradise at Rivermont Farm. She has been confirmed in foal to Simplification for a 2025 foal. |
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 and her daughter Gracie have 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 and most recently she served at a therapeutic riding center helping disabled children learn to ride. Maggie is now retired at Rivermont enjoying life to the fullest! |
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.
