Welcome to the website for Bell Oaks Stable, the home of happy horses and friendly people.  We are located just 25 minutes north of downtown Kansas City, Missouri, but the beautiful hills, surrounding trees, and peaceful atmosphere make it feel like we are much further away from the big city life.    We are only about 500 yards from the Southern tip of Smithville Lake, so we are close to open spaces, woods and trails.

We like to maintain a pleasant, laid-back, family-type atmosphere.  In addition to the main attraction (HORSES), there are plenty of seats for sitting around and swapping horse stories.  Boarders and guests can use the campfire ring, barbeque grill, covered picnic area next to the riding arena, or the inside meeting/party room (heated and air conditioned).  About 5 acres near the building is kept in mowed grass, making this area popular for camping, volley ball, and other fun activities.  There is even a playhouse for the younger kids.
