Somethings not specified in the riddle:
1!. Can there be more wolves than sheep on one side!?
2!. Can an animal travel by itself!?
3!. On which side is the boat resting!?
4 Can the boat be sent off empty!?
Since the riddle does not contain any rules regarding my questions, I'm going to assume that all of those ideas are possible options!. Now having said that, I'm going to attempt to give you a solution!. (Side note: for the sake of simplicity I will call the wolf side X and the sheep side Z)
Solution:
1!. If the boat rests on side X, send one wolf over to side Z!. (If the boat is on side Z send it empty to side X) , You have 3 sheep and 1 wolf on side Z and 2 wolves on side X as a result!.
2!. From side Z send 1 sheep over to side X!.(now both sides are equal in number of animals)!.
3!. Send the boat empty from X to Z!.
4!. Once at side Z send the remaining two sheep to side X!. (This will give you 3 sheep and 1 wolf on X and 2 wolves on Z)
5!. Send the last wolf on side X to side Z!.
6!. Problem solved!.
Edit: Darn it, I took to long on editing my ideas!. Well glad its solved!.
