Lindsay Howard began riding horses at a young age and by the early 1930s had developed into a top class polo player.
[1] Lindsay Howard and his brother Robert frequently played matches in Argentina, the polo capital of the world, and they and friend Bing Crosby decided to establish "Caballeriza Binglin Stock Farm" near Buenos Aires where they purchased a number of locally bred horses and shipped them back to the United States.
[3] The Binglin Stable partnership came to an end in 1953 as a result of a liquidation of assets by Bing Crosby in order to raise the funds necessary to pay the federal and state inheritance taxes on his deceased wife's estate.
The divorce involved much bitterness and on December 13, 1943, Lindsay Howard faced a court martial for conduct unbecoming an officer.
[7] In 1940, Lindsay Howard married a second time to actress Judith Barrett[5] (1909–2000) with whom he had two children before their much publicized divorce in 1952.
