Forum rules and no-advertising policy

As a participant on this forum, it is your responsibility to know and follow our rules. Please read this message in its entirety.

Board Rules

1. You’re responsible for what you say.
As outlined in Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, The Chronicle of the Horse and its affiliates, as well Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd., the developers of vBulletin, are not legally responsible for statements made in the forums.

This is a public forum viewed by a wide spectrum of people, so please be mindful of what you say and who might be reading it—details of personal disputes are likely better handled privately. While posters are legally responsible for their statements, the moderators may in their discretion remove or edit posts that violate these rules. Users have the ability to modify or delete their own messages after posting, but administrators generally will not delete posts, threads or accounts upon request.

Outright inflammatory, vulgar, harassing, malicious or otherwise inappropriate statements and criminal charges unsubstantiated by a reputable news source or legal documentation will not be tolerated and will be dealt with at the discretion of the moderators.

Credible threats of suicide will be reported to the police along with identifying user information at our disposal, in addition to referring the user to suicide helpline resources such as 1-800-SUICIDE or 1-800-273-TALK.

2. Conversations in horse-related forums should be horse-related.
The forums are a wonderful source of information and support for members of the horse community. While it’s understandably tempting to share information or search for input on other topics upon which members might have a similar level of knowledge, members must maintain the focus on horses.

3. Keep conversations productive, on topic and civil.
Discussion and disagreement are inevitable and encouraged; personal insults, diatribes and sniping comments are unproductive and unacceptable. Whether a subject is light-hearted or serious, keep posts focused on the current topic and of general interest to other participants of that thread. Utilize the private message feature or personal email where appropriate to address side topics or personal issues not related to the topic at large.

4. No advertising in the discussion forums.
Posts in the discussion forums directly or indirectly advertising horses, jobs, items or services for sale or wanted will be removed at the discretion of the moderators. Use of the private messaging feature or email addresses obtained through users’ profiles for unsolicited advertising is not permitted.

Company representatives may participate in discussions and answer questions about their products or services, or suggest their products on recent threads if they fulfill the criteria of a query. False "testimonials" provided by company affiliates posing as general consumers are not appropriate, and self-promotion of sales, ad campaigns, etc. through the discussion forums is not allowed.

Paid advertising is available on our classifieds site and through the purchase of banner ads. The tightly monitored Giveaways forum permits free listings of genuinely free horses and items available or wanted (on a limited basis). Items offered for trade are not allowed.

Advertising Policy Specifics
When in doubt of whether something you want to post constitutes advertising, please contact a moderator privately in advance for further clarification. Refer to the following points for general guidelines:

Horses – Only general discussion about the buying, leasing, selling and pricing of horses is permitted. If the post contains, or links to, the type of specific information typically found in a sales or wanted ad, and it’s related to a horse for sale, regardless of who’s selling it, it doesn’t belong in the discussion forums.

Stallions – Board members may ask for suggestions on breeding stallion recommendations. Stallion owners may reply to such queries by suggesting their own stallions, only if their horse fits the specific criteria of the original poster. Excessive promotion of a stallion by its owner or related parties is not permitted and will be addressed at the discretion of the moderators.

Services – Members may use the forums to ask for general recommendations of trainers, barns, shippers, farriers, etc., and other members may answer those requests by suggesting themselves or their company, if their services fulfill the specific criteria of the original post. Members may not solicit other members for business if it is not in response to a direct, genuine query.

Products – While members may ask for general opinions and suggestions on equipment, trailers, trucks, etc., they may not list the specific attributes for which they are in the market, as such posts serve as wanted ads.

Event Announcements – Members may post one notification of an upcoming event that may be of interest to fellow members, if the original poster does not benefit financially from the event. Such threads may not be “bumped” excessively. Premium members may post their own notices in the Event Announcements forum.

Charities/Rescues – Announcements for charitable or fundraising events can only be made for 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organizations. Special exceptions may be made, at the moderators’ discretion and direction, for board-related events or fundraising activities in extraordinary circumstances.

Occasional posts regarding horses available for adoption through IRS-registered horse rescue or placement programs are permitted in the appropriate forums, but these threads may be limited at the discretion of the moderators. Individuals may not advertise or make announcements for horses in need of rescue, placement or adoption unless the horse is available through a recognized rescue or placement agency or government-run entity or the thread fits the criteria for and is located in the Giveaways forum.

5. Do not post copyrighted photographs unless you have purchased that photo and have permission to do so.

6. Respect other members.
As members are often passionate about their beliefs and intentions can easily be misinterpreted in this type of environment, try to explore or resolve the inevitable disagreements that arise in the course of threads calmly and rationally.

If you see a post that you feel violates the rules of the board, please click the “alert” button (exclamation point inside of a triangle) in the bottom left corner of the post, which will alert ONLY the moderators to the post in question. They will then take whatever action, or no action, as deemed appropriate for the situation at their discretion. Do not air grievances regarding other posters or the moderators in the discussion forums.

Please be advised that adding another user to your “Ignore” list via your User Control Panel can be a useful tactic, which blocks posts and private messages by members whose commentary you’d rather avoid reading.

7. We have the right to reproduce statements made in the forums.
The Chronicle of the Horse may copy, quote, link to or otherwise reproduce posts, or portions of posts, in print or online for advertising or editorial purposes, if attributed to their original authors, and by posting in this forum, you hereby grant to The Chronicle of the Horse a perpetual, non-exclusive license under copyright and other rights, to do so.

8. We reserve the right to enforce and amend the rules.
The moderators may delete, edit, move or close any post or thread at any time, or refrain from doing any of the foregoing, in their discretion, and may suspend or revoke a user’s membership privileges at any time to maintain adherence to the rules and the general spirit of the forum. These rules may be amended at any time to address the current needs of the board.

Please see our full Terms of Service and Privacy Policy for more information.

Thanks for being a part of the COTH forums!

    Connemara Pony for Lease in North Texas - NOT KIDS HORSE - PICS Added!!

    Before I tell you how fabulous and cute he is, let me tell you how my farrier describes him: "This horse ain't lookin' out for nobody but himself. He knows who Number One is."

    Yeah. Not a kids horse! He's nervous around strangers (heck, he gets nervous around me and I'm pretty much the only one who has handled him for the last 7+ years), he gets really worried around strange men, he is unsure in new situatuations, etc. He can get easily worked up and needs someone who knows and understands horses. Not the forgiving type. He needs a confident rider with a soft seat and soft hands.

    This horse was NOT abused - this is just his nature. He was passed around a bunch in the early years of his lifeand I am confident that is a result of his squirrely personality - and I think all the moving compounded his issues. I've been with him exclusively for the last 7+ years. He really has settled down a ton, but I need to lay it all out there - he is cute but NOT A KIDS HORSE (an accomplished teenager with a trainer, maybe).

    That being said, he is a fabulous little pony. Sound, cute mover, easy keeper, lots of fun (in most scenarios), and gets lots of attention when you go places (everyone wants to know what he is - and the most common guess is Lipizzan). The last couple of years I was riding him (he hasn't been ridden since April of 2007, when I got pregnant) were a blast. We were doing local dressage shows (training level) and I would occasionally pop over some little jumps. SUPPOSEDLY - he fox hunted. Although I doubt the authenticity of this story, or the sanity of whoever fox-hunted with him, he does jump and is careful and adjustable over fences (that being said, I am terrible over fences and rarely jumped him because I didn't want to mess him up). His leads are not 100% solid but I would say we got them about 90% of the time (and had I kept riding, he would be solid by now).

    He is about 13 years old. About 13.1 hh. White. Chubby. Imported from Ireland.

    I am pregnant with #2 and don't see myself riding in the next 18-24 months. I would like to find him a rider (one person, I don't want him being a lesson horse). He can stay at my house, at my expense, until we sell our property. I am an hour east of Dallas. I have a barn and lighted arena. Once we sell our house, he'll be going to my mom's - pasture, no arena. Or - if you are the right person with the right place, he could move to your place (local - North Texas) and I will pay for feet (he's barefoot) and routine vet care but not board/training. I am open to someone showing him - I really want him to have a job and not sit around for the next two years. Judges love him when he is at his best! A contract would be required and I will visit! He is not and never will be for sale.

    If you are interested let me know. Email me for a quicker response.

    the last time I rode him:

      I wish you were closer too! I need to update some of my facts -he was last ridden in April of 2008 and he's probably closer to 13.2/13.3 - I'm 5'6" and fit him nicely.
