moved when the horse was not being
shown. They are greatly disappoint­
ed with some of the abuse in the use
of boots.
Mr. Ben is quite vocal about the
soreing problem: "Any horse that can
walk sore could be a better horse
sound” . . . "No one can do a good
job when he’s hurting” . . ."One
can’t dance well with sore feet” . . .
"If the trainers would ride and work
these horses enough — putting sores
on certain parts of the trainer’s anat­
omy rather than on the horses —
more good horses would be made”
. . . "If the soreing goes out, the
trainers can’t work as many horses
as they do now and naturally train­
ing fees would go up, but horses are
bringing top money so it would be
worth the higher training fees.” He
has hopes that the Trainers Associ­
ation will clean up the Walking Hor­
ses, for he feels that this horse is
liked and enjoyed by more people
than any other breed.
Mr. Ben has often said that the
past twenty-odd years have been his
happiest, as he has enjoyed his many
friends and, particularly, the horse
shows. His lively interest in the pres­
ent and future of the Tennessee Walk­
ing Horse belies his eighty-seven
years, and he will still "put his mon­
ey where his mouth is” concerning
horses . . . and, in most instances,
he wins!
So go by the saddlery when you’re
Memphis — or look around at the
Celebration, as Mr. Ben hasn’t miss­
ed one in many, many years — and
have a chat with Mr. Ben Howell.
When it comes to Tennessee Walking
Horses you can talk to Mr. Ben about
them, but don’t argue with him . . .
because "he’s been there”!

"I started using Corona when I was at the Circle T Ranch
out in Roanoke, Texas. It's the best antiseptic dressing
and lubricant I ever found. The way it keeps horses from
having quarter cracks, makes hair grow, and makes
callouses shed.
"It's especially helpful to me, being a Tennessee Walking
man. When I'm showing, I rub it on the horse's ankles
before I put the boots on. That keeps the ankles from
getting irritated. Keeps sores from coming up. And, if
any of my horses get chain sores, I rub it in every night
and bandage the ankles. In three to five days, the hair
will start coming through and the callouses will shed.
Corona really gets down in there and soothes.
"Another thing. When the coronary band gets dry and
hard, it busts and leaves quarter cracks. If you'll apply
Corona around the band's edge—only takes two or three
minutes to work it in — you'll see that crack healing
within 8 to 10 days.
"Corona is good for harness sores, girth galls, rope bums,
too. It's the best remedy for foundered horses—keeps
the soles of their feet soft and flexible. And
the race track people recommend it for
hobble sores.
"It's easy to see, I swear by Corona. Try it.
You will, too."
