The Ranch.
Formerly known as Hope Rides Ranch, we obeyed God's calling and took ownership in August 2025. The Hope Rides crew has moved down to Texas!
About Us.
Ryan and Carolyn Wojtasiak
We are so humbled to be the owners of Riverside Ranch. Originally from Waconia, we are excited to serve our community in this new way! Carolyn has been riding horses her entire life, and has had a connection to this property since a very young age. Watching how God orchestrated our paths to where we are now is very humbling, and only speaks to His faithfulness.
​
By day, Ryan works as an engineer and Carolyn works as a realtor. Outside of work, Ryan loves golf, fishing, and target practice, and Carolyn enjoys time on the lake with family and barrel racing at local jackpots with her horse, Gunner. We also have four cats (two are in the barn!), two sweet lesson horses, and a golden retriever puppy!
At the ranch, you can catch Carolyn managing the barn, and Ryan out in the skid feeding the horses or working on the never ending projects that come with farm ownership :) It is truly an honor to care for our boarder's horses. We do not take it lightly, only providing them with the highest quality of care.
We pray the ranch will be a place of peace and fulfillment for all of our boarders, animals, and visitors. God brought us to this ranch, and it is His. Exciting things are ahead!
We look forward to meeting you!
