OAK GROVE HUNT CLUB

In the early 1940's a group of horse owners in Germantown, TN, East of Memphis, had the custom of meeting on Sunday afternoons to ride their horses around the area. They called themselves the Oak Grove Saddle Club. They became interested in fox hunting and with the leadership of Walter "Sonny" Foster, Raymond C. Firestone and others, Oak Grove Hunt Club was formed with a nucleus of riders from the saddle club. Oak Grove Hunt Club became established with the Masters of Foxhounds Association of America in 1946.
