    Trails and Tales of Balboa Park Linda Bradley Dowdy and Anne Stephens Vafis “Wherever you live, wherever you grew up, wherever you first loved horses, the Balboa Park story will ring familiar bells for you. For those of us of ‘a certain age,’ this is how we learned to ride and love the Saddle Horse.”1 Until 1960, when a freeway interchange altered the southwest corner of Balboa Park, horse stables and 17 miles of bridle paths attracted equestrian enthusiasts, young and old. The county boasted an estimated 9,500 riding horses and 33 organized clubs.2 This article describes the people, events, and activities enjoyed by generations of San Diego horse lovers and their friends. Balboa Park’s first stable was located next to the San Diego Zoo, in the vicinity of the current Spanish Village. Dr. Harry M.
