Miss Firewater Coup & Addy Roberts ๐
The Godspeed team is so proud of this homegrown filly โMiss Firewater Coupโ and the Roberts family! Addy (14years old) jockeyed her in Race 1 of the Fiddlers Turkey Run and her mother Laurie ran her the next two days! She stayed so solid all three races and brought home some Diamond Classic money for her first weekend of competing! Special shoutout to Jojo Herring for all the time he put into this special roan mare!

Late Nite Soiree
โSoireeโ winning Saturdayโs futurity sidepot and running the fastest futurity time of the weekend at the Fiddlers Turkey Run! We are so proud of her and blessed to have another quick footed redhead on the trailer !๐
Heavenly Red has been rock solid! Placed in the top 6 out of ALL three rounds at the NBHA Open World Championship this past week, adding $5780 to her LTE! She is simply incredible!! ๐
~ Proverbs 16:3 ~
This run was VERY special and will go down as a milestone for Karma! A 3rd place finish in the โCash Out Slot Raceโ soared her lifetime earnings passed the $100,000 mark! Heavenly Red is truly a blessing!
โLate Nite Soireeโ finished 2nd among the 2024 hopefuls in the GTBRA Futurity Showcase! ๐
โAryaโ finishing 4th in the Adult class and 5th in the Open! We are so pleased with how she is seasoning out!
We are very proud of this new team! ๐
Joesph Herring & VF Blooming Stinson โCherryโ ๐ placed 4th in the 2D out of over 150 entries!
โWe honor God and give him the glory in all we do, and He will bless us beyond measure.โ โบ๏ธ
Karma, we are so thankful for you!
Stinsons Flyin Hawk โAryaโ winning 2nd in the 1D this past weekend at the Middle Georgia Barrel Racing at Lamar Co Expo Center jackpot!
Here is a little sneak peek / introduction to one of our homegrown junior stallions, โRomeoโ. He is a son of Dash Ta Fame and out of one of our ranch bred mares, who also has some run in her background. We are very pleased with his progress so far and hope to get a few mares in foal to him for next year. We also look forward to seeing Romeo futurity in 2024!!
โStinsons Frecklesโ is another one of the race/cow crosses we will be campaigning in 2024! Freckles is as wide as she is tall and has a honest four wheel drive turning style. We are looking forward to both flushing embryos on this young mare as well as watching her progress in the barrel pen!!
Heavenly Red showed her true grit and try placing 5th out of a tough crowd in Unadilla, GA this past weekend! This was a special run for Karma as it officially pushed her past the $50,000 mark in Equistat earnings!!
โStyleโ is a guilty pleasure project. We were going to get her started off with a good handle and then send her on to be a rope horse, but sheโs showing some talent on the cloverleaf so we are going to continue on with her. This mare is too smart for her own good and as athletic as they come. We look forward to seeing how she fares against some of her in-house competition ๐ She also happens to be homozygous for the roan gene, so all of her babies will be roan!
The battle of the โStinson Sistersโ is off to the races! Stinsons Flyin Hawk โAryaโ finishing 2nd in the 2nd Go of the Jingle Bell Futurity, while little sister Stinsons Lady Hawk โNovaโ wraps up the weekend 8th in the average!
Eddie Stinson - Stallion
Stinsons Flyin Hawk โAryaโ started her barrel racing career exceeding all of our expectations this weekend at the Fiddlers Turkey Run bringing home just shy of $2,500. We are very excited to see what this year has in store for her!
Designer Rockette (Broadway) is a great example of what a successful run / cow horse cross looks like.
She is by the great Designer Red, and her dam is a money earning cutting mare who is 30% Doc Bar. Broadway is one of the sweetest, kindest mares of all time. She has a lot of smarts, a huge heart and a ton of try. Sheโs a gritty mare, and we are very hopeful she will pass on all these traits to her offspring.
Broadway was the 2022 Spring Showdown 1-D Champion (out of over 650 entries) bringing home the first 1-D saddle and open championship win for our program.
She means the world to us and we are very excited to see her and her offspring impact our program for a long time to come.
