Traders Point Hunt

In the fall of 1930, Thomas Ruckelshaus and Russsel Fortune Jr. Organized a series of chases on horseback, eventually leading to discussion of organizing a drag hunt on horseback. TPH met informally for the first time at the red barn on Moore Rd on November 14, 1931 with Mr. George Bailey as Master of Fox Hounds, Huntsman Russel Fortune Jr., and Whippers-in Nate Davis and Wells Hampton. Riders in the field number 16 of Indianapolis’ most prominent citizens. The territory at that time was the hills and valleys along Eagle Creek from 56th to 96th in the area that is currently northwest Indianapolis and Zionsville. source: http://www.traderspointhunt.com/
