Riverside Ranch

Welcome to Riverside Ranch, a renowned establishment with a legacy dating back to 1985. Riverside Ranch has evolved into a leading breeder of all-American quarter horses worldwide. Cindy's passion for equine excellence led her to achieve recognition as an NSBA leading rider in the nation and a prominent breeder of western pleasure horses.

At the heart of Riverside Ranch's success was the illustrious stallion, Dynamic Deluxe. He was dreamt about by Cindy since she was a small child and was literally magically manifested, playing a pivotal role in putting Riverside Ranch on the map!

Over the years with forks in the road Cindy has made strategic decisions to enhance the ranch's focus. The ranch has transitioned to exclusively housing stallions, a testament to Cindy's commitment to quality time with her loved ones and a desire to streamline operations. Cindy lost her biggest supporter, her mom Solveig Svarthumle/Schlicker, on Sept 3rd of 22 and now vows to make her proud with a "less is more attitude" focusing on the things that bring the most happiness in life. This includes how much she loves her people, horses and animals.

Dana Eddy, a devoted member of Riverside Ranch for decades, has been an integral part of the journey. Starting as a youth rider, Dana now stands alongside Cindy, managing all aspects of the ranch. Known for her heart of gold, Dana ensures that every customer is met with kindness and a profound understanding of their needs. The ranch community, including Cherie (Dana's mom), Cindy's cousin Jacki, and her husband Ron Bernardino, operates as a cohesive unit, supporting each other to make Riverside Ranch the best it can be.

The marriage of Cindy and Donnie McCraw marked a significant chapter in Riverside Ranch's history. Donnie actively contributes to the rigors of ranch management, reinforcing the family-oriented ethos that defines Riverside Ranch. Casey, Cindy's son, adds to the familial presence, residing on the ranch and providing invaluable assistance in handling the stallions.

Riverside Ranch takes pride in being a family-owned and operated entity, where the strong sense of community binds everyone together. Blessed with dedicated individuals and a commitment to excellence, Riverside Ranch continues to be a beacon of quality in the world of quarter horse breeding standing many of the industries top stallions.
