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!

      I can't believe the forecast for this weekend!! The temps are going to be around 100 degrees and God only knows what the heat index will be.

      I will be there to watch one of "my" babies in Training level and FEI 4-year old classes.

          Oh man, I was looking forward to escaping the heat in Houston!

          Siegi, I was surprised at how many 4yr olds will be competing this weekend. Which one is your baby?

            I will be there all day Saturday working in the office- passnig out tests/awards so stop by and say hello. Dunk your heads in water and hose/sponge your horses off *before* you ride. It makes them much more comfy and you too! I so wish they still made those Cookies Cool Caps! I still have 2 of them that I swear by in the summer. Also have two of those neck bandana things. I soak em in cold water and then store them in the fridge in the tackroom- pop them on before a ride.

            Last fall when I worked awards they gave them out as prizes- if they are there this weekend they should go like hotcakes.

            Also, VTO saddlery will be there. Don't forget to pickup your gift certificate/coupon at the show office for happy shopping.

            That said, there always seems to be a nice breeze at Morven. Good luck to all!!!

              My daughter will be showing her horse Prix St. George and a youngster for one of our boarders in training level on Saturday and Sunday. I will be there on Sunday to help her--and worrying about them all day Saturday with the heat and no mother hen

                ride-n-tx.... I haven't seen the list of entries, just got the ride times for the boy. His name is Zorba S. E. and he's on at 11:45 a.m. and 1:45 p.m. tomorrow. Don't remember the Sunday times but I think the last class is after 4:00 p.m.!!

                See you there?

                  What an amazingly hot show!

                  Bless the volunteers and the ice-cold towels they had ready to wrap around our necks.

                  On a side note, this weekend went VERY well for me and I would ride through the heat all over again if it meant having those rides.

                  Did I mention it was amazingly hot?!?!?!

                    I about died in the heat also, but had a good show. I think I will now wait until fall to try again!

                      Gadzooks it was hot!

                      The beasties were wonderful with abbreviated warmups and the show was well run--kudos to all the volunteers.

                      Daughter was pleased with her scores and everything went well until the flat tire as we were getting ready to leave

                      Hope everyone else held up okay!

                        It was VERY hot! I went Saturday at 1:30 to see one of my babies go. It was his first show, turning 4 this month. He scored 67.6% (4th place) in the Training Level Test 3 Qualifying class. They scratched his First Level test in the afternoon, as it was just so hot. His new owners were there to pick him up, so I got to meet them too.

                        I was so proud of him. First show and thank God, they didn't need to lunge him at 100 degrees. He just handled everything like he had been doing it for years.

                        So the good news is his very first dressage test, he qualified for the BLM Championships, but now with a change of rider, that won't count. He will just have to do it again.

                          Darlyn, he's gorgeous! Congrats to you on the ride, and on the sale.

                            Thanks! Actually I sold him as a 9 month old. He went to Louisiana, then the owner decided to go back to school, and sold him to Libby Anderson, so he went from No VA to Louisiana, and back to less than 5 miles from my farm. Go figure! Libby's daughter Jules rode him at Morven. It was a lovely test. They just sold him to a super home, and he will be in training with Evelyn Susol, so I am thrilled.

                            Orlando is by Nevada, out of my Dutch/Hanoverian mare Jasmine.

                              Darlyn, he is beautiful, you must be so proud! I think my daughter was riding in the same class around that time, so I wish I had made it up there on Saturday to see him go!

                                Did your daughter ride all of her tests? I felt especially bad for those I saw getting off one horse, and on to the next.

                                Makes me really glad I just breed'em and don't have to ride them anymore.

                                    The weather was brutal, and I rode in the morning. Horsy and I were both hyperventilating after our trot work, and did not quite have the Giddy Up for the canter work. However, it was still a productive show, I rode one test and accomplished what I needed. I am very happy as I earned my final score I needed for my silver medal. But I am so glad I did not have to ride in the afternoon.


                                    Darlyn, your baby is lovely, quite special!
