I've not seen one win against Garen so far, but I've never experienced that lane myself, so I'm not sure.

You might be able to win/draw lane with Yorick, as he wins the lane, except if Riven has more health sustain than he mana sustain. If Riven has enough health left (about 60%) when Yorick is out of mana, Yorick runs or dies. Or both.

Renekton can do the job too. This is, I think, the matchup based on skill most of all matchups in the game, excluding mirror lanes (which are freaking annoying, while Riven vs Renekton is a really fun lane to play, imo).

Teemo also shits on Riven early, I once had one mid when I swapped with our mid laner, but I'm not sure if he'd been able to shit on Riven past level six at top lane. At mid he can.

Defensive laners (Nasus, Irelia, etc) can work, but only if you're really good at staying alive with them, as Riven's killing potential against them on levels 1-3 is very big.
