Ride Prosperously Ministries

Boys need direction, responsibility, accountability, encouragement, and good examples to mature into productive men. Even then it can be challenging for some. Riley Olson and Ride Prosperously Ministries have the character and experience to provide just what young men need during this challenging time in a young man's life. Using the horse as a partner to help instill important character traits in young men is a unique skill this program offers. Its amazing to see what Riley and his team can accomplish in regard to improving the horsemanship of young men, whether they are a seasoned rider or whether they have no riding skill at all. But how well the horse performs and how prepared the horse is for a sale is not how this program measures success. Success is measured by producing young men who honor God, respect men, and are kind to the creatures around them. This team builds a foundation which is critical to producing young men that lead their family and serve their community. I give Riley and his team my highest recommendation if you're considering an investment to help point and guide a young man in the right direction!

It's inspiring and exciting to think about all the young lives that will be touched and transformed by the many blessings Riley, Kyla and everyone affiliated with Ride Prosperously Ministries has to offer. Riley and Kyla Olson are two of the kindest and most caring individuals I have ever met. Riley has been blessed with gifts of being an exceptional horseman, a great teacher and communicator, and most of all a man of very strong faith. I've watched in amazement at how he teaches young men to connect with horses and then through the horse, scripture, and faith provides an opportunity for those young men to connect with God and redirect their lives. I've witnessed many a young man provide testimony of how Riley and his horse program blessed them and totally changed their lives. May God Bless Ride Prosperously Ministries and all the young men whose paths may cross their way.

I have found Riley Olson to be one of those rare individuals who we can refer to as a man of highest character. Riley places his faith in Jesus Christ and a firm belief in God above all other things. He follows it immediately with his dedication to his family. The Olson's have the ability to correctly prioritize their life and because of this, God has been able to use them in incredible ways to do incredible things. Riley is a very talented man, and a willing teacher. He openly shares God's love with the students he works with and I am blessed to call him one of my friends.

Riley Olson contacted me several years ago to come and help with a horse sale he was producing in Stockton Missouri. The way he presented it to me I knew it was special. God, horses and boys that need some guidance is a program that I can believe is good and I immediately knew I wanted to help. I have seen the program improve every year.

The thing I didn't know is I was beginning to be a part of some of the best people I have ever had the opportunity to become involved with.

When I went to the first sale I could see that Riley had a solid team that was there truly caring for the boys and horses that they were in charge of getting a better deal in life.  The first thing I learned is Riley and the people he surrounds himself with are true believers and live in the biblical teachings of the christian faith. They not only teach it but live it.

The next thing I learned was Riley was a stockman, and his horsemanship and livestock skills were ranch based and was from real common sense values that fit the programs goals of helping young men with no experience learn and create a horse of value, and while doing it creating a bond with the horse and the other coaches and boys in the program.

Riley and his team kept everything safe through discipline, picked people up when they were down, gave them courage when they were scared, and most of all showing these boys that had lots of challenges what it was like to be and act like a man under all circumstances, and with this type of program there are many ways to learn courage, humility, love and how to have fun.  I can not imagine a better way to help anyone, young or old, troubled or not with a horse program that this team has put together. It's never about them. It's about God, humans and animals. In the world we live in today, how can it get any more needed or better than that?

I truly believe in Ride Prosperously Ministry program and hope I get to remain a part of it. It has improved my life immensely, and I feel anyone involved will get the same reward.
