Horse riding through Leisure Park 40 years ago

Hayden resident Virginia Grove used to enjoy riding her horse around town, including through neighborhoods that were once fields and meadows. 

She submitted a photo of one such adventure taken in 1985 when she rode her horse through what is now Leisure Park off Ramsey Road in Hayden.

"That's Canfield Mountain in the background," Grove said. "Back then, there were many places to ride from my home on Orchard Avenue. I even once rode to the top of Canfield ... those days are gone. Aaahhh ... the good ol' days."
