When the Indians traveled the river now known as Clarks River, they set up camp at the ford or shallow river crossing. The ford is now known as Bryant’s Ford. A hostile tribe was waiting up on the ridge and a deadly battle ensued. Arrowheads have since been found all along the ridge. That is why the battle-ground is known as Indian Ridge, hence the meaning behind the name Indian Ridge Stables.

This story was told by Geraldine Almon to Relma Swearinger. Mrs. Almon lived on the ridge many years. When Mrs. Almon would plow her garden she would dig up arrowheads. We still find arrowheads on the ridge to this day.
