There is just something magical about pulling down a gravel road ranch driveway and knowing that you are going to live your best life as a cowboy or cowgirl for the day! The Rising Star Ranch is a place where you can enjoy the country air, take a lesson, board your horse, have a birthday party, or enjoy their fall festival. Plus it's really close to Winterset Park and Longview which are in the Lee's Summit, MO area. Trust me this is a great place to just get away for the day or maybe you may find yourself as one of the family.
