preservation as Chairman from inception to present.
Southern Pines, North Carolina. November 21, 2011.
History of The Walthour-Moss Foundation 1978-1993
Moore County is very fortunate to have within its boundaries
a natural treasure, 4,092 acres of open land and wildlife habitat
known as The Walthour-Moss Foundation. This private land
is open to the public every day of the year from sunup to
sundown for equestrian use. Visitors may also walk along the
sandy trails to observe the native flora and fauna unique to the
Sandhills. The Foundation land was not purchased with tax
dollars or by the State, but given to the community through
philanthropic gifts from individuals.
William Ozelle Moss and Virginia Walthour Moss together
gave over 2,500 acres of Foundation land to this community.
Richard “Dick” Webb is one of our local citizens who knew the
Mosses well and remembers when they gave the “Main
Foundation” to our horse community. This is the land,
contained within the loop of Youngs Road, east of May Street
and U.S. Highway 1 in Southern Pines. Dick Webb was the
first Chairman of the Board of Directors of The Walthour-Moss
Foundation, thus deeply involved in the effort to bring the
“North Country” to the main Foundation. He and his wife,
Anne, have been and remain major contributors of land, funds
to buy land, and funds for annual land stewardship and trail
maintenance. We have asked him to recount the important
early history through a series of interviews.
When and why did you first come to Southern Pines?
My family moved from England to the United States the year
I was born. From the age of eight, I attended boarding school
in England, where I began my equestrian interest. After the

start of World War II, back in the states, I attended Brunswick
High School in Greenwich, Connecticut, where I continued my
interest in riding.
purchase. They intended to build a proper home on a large
parcel of land they owned, Homesite Hill. Pappy cut all the
scrub oaks by hand and used the bush hog to maintain the
savannah pineland. Just when they had saved enough to build
their dream home, another parcel of land became available.
They bought the land and never built the house. Pappy used
to say, “I don’t want all the land, just the land next to mine.”
My very first visit to North Carolina was in 1947, to the
Carolina Hotel in Pinehurst. The hotel was known for their
weekly riding exhibitions, some fun and others competitive
with top riders participating. I attended the annual Junior
Horse Show, where I rode a horse named Why Worry in a
Sunday Gymkhana at the riding ring of the Hotel.
Ginnie and Pappy Moss helped their community. Money they
collected at horse shows or received from events, they
contributed to the local hospital fund. That was important to
them. They encouraged others in the community to give to the
hospital as well.
Southern Pines was a name I encountered in the horse show
world. In Connecticut, I had this wonderful jumping horse
named Tops’l that I exhibited in top horse shows across the
Northeast. At these shows, I met Mickey Walsh, L. P. Tate,
Dave Kelly and other great riders based in Southern Pines.
In 1948, when I entered Duke University as a freshman,
I brought Tops’l to North Carolina. I boarded him at Quail
Roost, the farm of Major George Watts Hill. Major Hill was
from an old, prominent, North Carolina family. Trails
crisscrossed the land around his historic farm. Once out riding,
I saw a ladle in a dish on the trail. My companion told me to
go another way as that was a local signal that a moonshine still
was in operation up the trail. This was quite colorful to a
young man from the northeast.
When and how did you first meet Ginnie and Pappy Moss?
In the northeast, I had whipped in to Homer Grey, Master of
Foxhounds of the Rombout Hunt in Duchess County, New
York. During my first year at Duke, Major Hill, introduced me
to Ginnie and Pappy. They invited me to hunt with the Moore
County Hounds.
I also rode Tops’l in the hunter/jumpers at the Chamber of
Commerce Horse Show and in the Steeplechase and at the
Hunter Trials. Where they were ever present.
Can you share some stories about your early years
in Southern Pines?
This area is presently undergoing an astounding phase of
population growth and development. Southern Pines was a
small, undeveloped town in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
When I first arrived in 1948, Youngs Road was still unpaved.
Pappy would hunt the hounds all over the countryside.
Weekly, he cast the hounds at Watson Lake, which is now
located in the Country Club of North Carolina, and we hunted
the forests around Pinehurst. Moore County Hounds
regularly conducted a drag hunt around the Pinehurst Hotel.
It was a foxhunter’s paradise.
Ginnie and Pappy bought horses in the west and brought them
back to North Carolina to train as foxhunters. I drove to
Southern Pines from Duke on the weekends. Ginnie and
Pappy gave me a place to stay, horses to ride, and welcomed
me into Southern Pines social life. I met people my age like
Joanie Walsh, Margaurite McCrae and Peggy Mecklan. Duke’s

man-to-woman ratio was four to one, so I was happy to have
such wonderful female company. I rode with the Mosses
during the day and enjoyed an active social life in the evening.
The Dunes, was a night spot between Southern Pines and
Pinehurst that had French cuisine, a floor show from Las
Vegas, and live entertainment from New York. The Dunes
sold drinks by the glass, and was rumored to have illegal
gambling in the back. They got around the liquor laws in
Moore County, which was dry, by selling memberships, which
could be easily purchased in the lobby of the Dunes.
One evening, after riding the Mosses horses all day, I quickly
changed into dress clothes to meet a date at The Dunes. I was
running late. When I got to my car, I found a flat tire. I was
standing there in formal clothes staring at it when Peggy
Mechlin and her date drove by. They offered me a ride. That
was the most fortunate event for me, because some time into
the evening, the police raided The Dunes. Peggy and I climbed
out of the building through the bathroom window. Since my
car was not in the parking lot, I never received a summons.
I graduated from Duke in 1951. Anne and I married in 1954.
Happily, she enjoyed Southern Pines as much as I did. I
worked in New York and, on weekends, Anne and I left
Pennsylvania Station at 5:30 on Friday evening on the
Palmlander, a Seaboard Coast rail line that traveled along the
southern east coast. We ate in the dining car, went to bed, and
had breakfast in Raleigh. I changed into my riding attire and
arrived in Southern Pines in time to hunt with the Moore
County Hounds on Saturday morning. On occasion, Pappy
would even pick me up in the fire truck that he had purchased
for farm use.
There were quite of few commuters on the Palmlander rail line
who enjoyed the golf, shooting and riding in the Sandhills.
Eleo Sears, the famous Bostonian horsewoman and athlete,
owned a farm in Southern Pines named The Paddock, and
commuted frequently in season. Miss. Sears had her own

DICK WEBB AND TAYLOE COMPTON
private rail car and private dining car that the Palmlander
attached when the Sears were en route.
The Canadian hotel magnate Vernon Cardy spent winters in
Southern Pines. He owned a famous jumping horse, Times
Square, that he campaigned. Also, Vernon Cardy loved to
foxhunt and was a member of several hunts in Canada and the
United States. At the Cardy farm in Southern Pines, I attended
the most lavish hunt breakfast imaginable, complete with an
enormous ice sculpture of a horse decorating the table.
Imported chefs from one of Cardy’s Canadian hotels prepared
an elaborate array of food for his guests. As entertainment, at
the breakfast, he showed moving pictures of his two lovely,
blond wards, who were actresses.
Another winter resident was Barry Leithead of Chicago. He
was chief executive of Cluett, Peabody & Co., makers of Arrow
shirts and collars. Barry threw out the cuff and collars and
created the first men’s shirts to come in a variety of sizes.
After you and Anne married, where did you live?
We built our farm on Youngs Road in 1956 and named it Tops’l
Farm after my famous jumper. Our farmhouse consisted of
one room, our current living room. We had everything we
needed. There was an area for the kitchen and a bunk area
and, of course, a separate bath. Much later we expanded the
floor plan to its current footprint.
Can you give insight to Ginnie and Pappy
in those early years?
Ginnie and Pappy were incredibly generous to this community
throughout their lives. They lived modestly in a small
apartment in their barn at Mile-A-Way Farm before they built
the cottage next to the kennels that is now occupied by the
Moore County Hounds huntsman. They saved money and
when land became available, they bought it. Often they
timbered the land and sold the timber to help pay for the
In the hopes that the North Carolina State University
veterinary school would create a first-class equestrian research
center in Southern Pines, the Mosses gave the University
approximately one hundred acres of land on Equestrian Road.
What I remember most about Ginnie and Pappy was how kind
and hospitable they were to me. Ginnie was a gracious
southern lady and a second mother to me. I loved her for
welcoming me into their home, their sporting life, and their
family. They treated me like a son. Everything that I do for
this community is because of them. They were exceptional
people. I can never repay them for their graciousness to me.
I was so honored that Ginnie and Pappy appointed me Joint
Master of the Moore County Hounds in 1961. For fifty-four
years I have served in that position. Actually, I am the longest
serving Master of Foxhounds still on horseback in the country.
Only Ben Hardaway of Midland Fox Hounds and Nancy Penn
Smith Hannum of Mr. Stewart's Cheshire Foxhounds served
longer. Mrs. Hannum was Master of the Fox Hounds for fiftyeight years. She died in 2010. Ben Hardaway still follows the
hounds in a jeep nick-named the White Stallion.
In the late 1980s, I was nominated President of the Masters of
Foxhounds Association of America, an honor I ultimately
received because the Mosses had early confidence in me. I can
never repay the debt that I owe them.
Did you know Pappy intended to bequeath
1,739 acres to the community?
Yes. Pappy and Ginnie created a charitable trust on March 30,
1974 with the intent for the trust to hold open land for
equestrian purposes. The Walthour-Moss trust had twelve
board members: Ginnie and Pappy Moss, Owen B. Rhoads,
Hardie Scott, Junius Page Shamburger, Lloyd P. Tate, William
F. Hollister, Raymond Firestone, Fitzgerald Hudson, E. Earl
Hubbard, William R. Boren III, Albert W. Moss and me. We
all knew that Pappy intended to give land to The WalthourMoss Foundation trust in his estate. Some people were
doubtful that would ever happen. But I trusted Pappy and
was totally right to believe in him. He was true to his word.
When he died on August 22, 1976, in his will, he bequeathed
forty-nine percent of the stock of Mile-Away Farms,
DECEMBER 2015

parcel that Anne and I had owned for many years. We both
felt that this was an historic opportunity for the Foundation to
complete the consolidation of the nearby North Country lands.
We wanted to give the board and the community confidence
to take on the enormous challenge of what looked like a
fundraising campaign to raise over $3,000,000 to purchase the
Firestone Land. We just felt that a gift of this land would send
a message that by all of us working together the North Country
could be saved.
Throughout her long life, she continued to donate more land
to the Foundation. In 2006, as her final gift, she bequeathed
another one hundred fourteen acres in the North Country as a
legacy gift. By their legacy gifts, Ginnie and Pappy set an
example for all of us. Ginnie and Pappy together gifted 2,507
acres of land that comprise the “Main Foundation” to this
community. This is the land contained in the loop of Youngs
Road to the east and north and U.S. Highway 1 to the North.
Her gifts touched the horse community and brought out the
generosity of others who enjoyed foxhunting and appreciated
the importance of undeveloped land to the sport and the rural
community.
Incorporated to the charitable trust that became The WalthourMoss Foundation. By giving the land, he set the example for
conservation in this community that continues today.
In 1985, the Foundation purchased three hundred fifteen
acres of land from Maxwell Forrest, north of Furr Road.
Can you tell us about the purchase and the people
involved in the transaction?
Maxwell Forrest was a local landowner and businessman who
wished to sell his acreage on Furr Road. He was a war veteran
and a friend of Pappy’s. They both raised money and
contributed to the hospital fund. Developers were interested
in the Forrest land, but he offered it to The Walthour-Moss
Foundation because Maxwell Forrest wanted the Foundation
to protect the land.
Who were the people who helped organize
The Walthour-Moss Foundation after the bequest?
Over the past thirty-six years, hundreds of members of the
community have generously given to the land campaigns and
to support the annual budget.
The Board of Directors thought that this would be an
important addition. In fact, it was the very first parcel of land
purchased, not gifted by Pappy or Ginnie. And, it was the
beginning of land acquisition in what we now call the “North
Country.”
The first board members wrote and enacted bylaws that
govern the Foundation’s operations. The fifteen directors
perform the work of the Foundation. Ginnie Moss was the first
President, and remained in that role until her death, when Dick
Moore became President. The first directors were Fitzgerald
S. Hudson, E. Earl Hubbard, William R. Boren III, Mrs. Robert
L. Brandt , William F. Hollister, Raymond C. Firestone,
Thomas E. Morton, Albert W. Moss, Owen B. Roads, Hardie
Scott, Miss Page Shamburger, Clyde Sullivan, Mrs. H. C. Tate,
Lloyd P. Tate, Ginnie Moss and me. I am the only one
remaining of the original directors.
Fundraising to buy the land was easy. Ginnie and Pappy were
role models for the community and their giving motivated
others. It was a short campaign. Jane and Ray Firestone gave
the lead gift. Anne and I and Jean Rae and Bud Holmberg
gave substantial gifts. We asked others in the community to
help. About twenty-three other families contributed the
remainder of the purchase price.
GINNIE MOSS AND DICK WEBB AT MILE AWAY FARM
What was your first role in The Walthour-Moss Foundation?
I served on the Board of Directors of the initial Walthour-Moss
Foundation trust and served as Chairman of the Board of
Directors of The Walthour-Moss Foundation nonprofit
corporation from its creation to 2010, when Dick Moore
became Chairman. As Chairman Emeritus, I still attend Board
Meetings when Anne and I are in town.
Ginnie Moss gifted land to The Walthour-Moss Foundation
throughout the years. Would you tell us about these gifts?
In the first decade after the creation of The Walthour-Moss
Foundation, Ginnie donated one hundred fifty-one more acres
in four parcels, adding to Pappy’s 1,739 acre bequest.
Mrs. Moss added another five hundred sixty-six acres to
the Foundation in 1987. What is the story behind this gift?
By 1987, the Foundation was composed of the original 1,739
acre bequest plus one hundred fifty-one acres contributed in
four parcels by Ginnie Moss, plus the three hundred fifteen
acres purchased from Maxwell Forrest. Ginnie realized that
maintenance and stewardship of over 2,200 acres would
challenge the present and future board members responsible
for the stewardship of the land. So Ginnie presented a milliondollar challenge to the equestrian community. If they would
contribute $1,000,000 to establish an endowment fund, she
would gift five hundred sixty-six acres, known as Homesite
Hill, to the Foundation.
Jean Rae and Bud Holmberg contributed the lead gift of over
$100,000. Ann and I, Joan and Hank Wheeler, and Jane and
Ray Firestone contributed more than half that amount. Bud

and I personally talked to over sixty families who contributed
anywhere from $30,000 to $25. The upper range were huge
gifts for our small community in the late 1980s. We were
grateful for every penny.
The challenge was met. In 1987 Ginnie Moss gifted the five
hundred sixty-six acres known as Homesite Hill to The
Walthour-Moss Foundation, and the Virginia Walthour Moss
Endowment was created with the contributions.
Ginnie was a wise woman, generous and forward thinking.
By giving up the land that she and Pappy had carefully
maintained for their dream home, she motivated others to
sacrifice their hard-earned funds to protect more land and start
a fund to help with the maintenance of the land. I don’t know
if everyone understands how demanding the land
maintenance obligations are. It doesn’t take care of itself and
we try our best to stay on top of it.
The endowment is so important to the future of the
Foundation, the current Board of Directors voted to designate
all gifts from legacy donors to the endowment fund. The
Legacy program ensures that the Foundation in many years to
come has a base of support if the future philanthropic climate
changes for political or economic reasons. Although income
from the endowment cannot even begin to support the
Foundation budget, it can provide some annual income, if
needed, to make up a short fall in donations, and it provides a
necessary buffer for unseen obstacles that may arise. Through
the various land campaigns, this endowment has provided the
seed money that enabled us to make the purchase.
You and Anne gifted fifty acres of land to The WalthourMoss Foundation in 1999. What is the story behind that gift?
After discussing the possibility of purchase over several years,
in April 1999, the Firestone family showed a willingness to sell
their four hundred seventeen acres north of Furr Road. This
land abuts the Johnson purchase, which abutted a fifty acre
What motivated the Moss’s generosity?
I think that was just their basic nature. They loved the open
land and Pappy loved caring for the land. They accepted with
gratitude the gift from the Boyds of the Moore County
Hounds. They just wanted to give back to the community that
they loved and to share their land with like-minded
equestrians. Their gift of land was a very significant part of
their entire estate.
You were Chairman of the Board of Directors of
The Walthour-Moss Foundation for thirty-two successful
years. What words of wisdom about land acquisition and
maintaining the foundation would you give to
the new Chairman and Board of Directors?
The over 4,000 acres that the WMF owns is a gift from Ginnie
and Pappy and from many other generous members of our
community. This land was given for the particular purpose of
equestrian activity. This is very unique in the world. It all
started from their love of foxhunting and for the people in the
community. They patiently acquired land as it became
available. Pappy personally cared for the land using his tractor
and bush hog. He had his own bulldozer and fire truck. The
implement shed and workshop building at Lyell’s Meadow
were part of his work place.
Your most important responsibility as directors is to see to it
that the assets of the Foundation are maintained to the highest
standards just like Pappy did. Make certain that the forest and
meadows are maintained according to best practice land
management plans and the roads and trails are kept in good
shape. Always provide the necessary funding to do all this
through your own generous giving and by encouraging all
who appreciate the land to give generously.
Sometime it’s hard to believe the growth that has taken place
since I first came here. All the more reason to protect and
maintain this beautiful forest so that it will always be a place
for horse activity no matter how much growth occurs around
us. The Foundation shares its land with horse people from
over the country. They come here because of the uniqueness
of what we have built and because more and more open land
is being lost to development every year. Stewardship of the
land is your number one responsibility. The board needs to
work together, at all times and under all circumstances, to care
for the land. Never let personal differences get in the way of
working together for the good of the Foundation and the care
of the land.
