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!

    Hunter/Jumper Boarding Barns in Salt Lake City

    I might be moving to Salt Lake City and will need a place to board my horses. I saw a relatively recent thread that suggested places for lessons, but I will need a place to board as well as take lessons. Any suggestions?

        Years ago when I was there I boarded at Brighton Meadows and Alta Hills. Both had trainers and jump teams that competed at High Prairie etc.

              Thanks! None of these places seem have web pages, although a couple have a Facebook page. Can you guys PM me with details - what you liked about the places or what you didn't like, if anything? Thanks!

                Reviving this thread for PMs. I may relocate to Salt Lake City. I would like more information about Lynnleigh and Rose Ranch. Rose Ranch has a lot of photos on FB and looks really active. Lynnleigh has zero photos or information but I see a few reviews on the internet.

                I'm used to Brownland Farm and Gulf Port type shows and A-Show barns.

                Please PM me. Thanks!

                  I think that Lynnliegh would interest you most. I have never boarded there but I took lessons there. In my opninion its the nicest boarding barn near Salt Lake. They have AMAZING footing. They have an indoor arena, large out door arena, and a dressage arena. They also have a field with Xcountry jumps if your into that. They have a couple turn out paddocks for horses to strech there legs in.

                  They also have top notch trainers.

                  It is my favorite place to show, nice quiet atmosphere, nicely kept grounds.

                  Rose Ranch is smaller, the mink farm is gone ( I think its been gone a while as I don't remeber it being there. They have nice facilities, Indoor is a bit tight but it works just fine, Nice outdoor arena and short dressage arena. No turn out.

                  I have no idea who is training out of Rose Ranch so I can't offer any help there.

                  Sorry to be so long winded,I hope this helps you decide.

                    Do you mean these barns don't turn out on a regular schedule? I'm used to individual paddocks or two to a paddock for a few hours a day or every other day at least.

                      First: Look up the Utah Hunter Jumper Association. Plenty of guidance there, I would think.

                      Also, I rode at Lynnleigh a zillion years ago when I lived in Alta as a ski bum. Owners/Instructors were Darcy and Robin Sundeen and apparently they still have the place going 30 years later, so cannot be bad. I found this blurb from a local paper published a year ago about a show thet was being hosted the next weekend, at Lynnleigh; it gives some other names as far as advising the reader who might be spotted there:

                      "Watch for accomplished local competitors including Stacey Hargrave Guerra, Brittney Berkenpas and Megan Spencer, along with respected trainers Denise Tilley (Rockin E Farms/ Mountain View Equestrian, West Bountiful), Nicole Weaver (Arrowhead Stables, Layton UT) and Allison Wicks (Rose Ranch, South Jordan). Of course Lynnleigh’s own Robin Sundeen always has a group of must-watch riders in the hunter/jumper circuit.
                      Lynnleigh Farm’s phone # is 801-571-5592 if you want to inquire about training, lessons, board or show times. Note that dressage trainer Darcy Conklin can also be reached at this number, along with jumping instructor Robin Sundeen."

                        Both are less than 10 minutes from where my company's new office will be located. That's pretty awesome.

                          I've never been to Utah, but one of my clients did her post doc there and has been very clear that the climate is such that pasture/grass (and turn out) is a long way from what's taken for granted in TN (Brownland, Warioto, etc.) or here in NC. Not to despair, however. There are many facilities in CA, FL, etc. producing top performers despite scant grass, acreage or turnout. I would, however, be very careful in assessing management, quality and distribution of hay and/or substitutes, etc., before deciding where to move a horse. IMO, the further we get from nature (horses free range 24/7), the more careful we need to be about management of diet, exercise, stabling, etc. to maintain physical and emotional health.

                            Where are you from? I've lived all over the East Coast and had a hard time explaining what my concept of "turnout" was to BMs in Utah. I ultimately ruled out moving there for many reasons, one of them being I could not accept keeping my horses the way horses are kept there. It's just not for me.

                            Most of the places I saw were real dumps and I couldn't recommend. Rose Ranch was kind of hodge podgey and the indoor was tiny and footing a little odd but the people seemed nice and the horses looked ok. Lynnleigh is the "nice place." There's this little patch of grass that the owner's horses get to go out on and your horses can watch wistfully from a distance while standing on a dry lot across the way. Ring looked nice. Owner was SUPER sneery and rude to me because they're eveeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnntuuuuuurhs don'tcha know and hunters is so blase!

                            There was another random place which had grass and was brand new and I am blanking on the name. Also another "A circuit" place which used to be an Arabian place. The facility was actually quite nice. I got a tinfoil hat vibe bigtime from the owner/trainer. Just major tinfoil hatness.

                            GOOD LUCK!

                              I rode in Utah from when I was 5 yrs -23 yrs old. I know everyone very very very very well. Message me and I can tell you who a good training/care match might be for your horse. Everyone is good, but it's all about what you want for your baby.

                              Although I would personally, and highly recommend Allison Wicks @ Rose Ranch for your boarding and lessons.

                              I still consider her one of the best, and I have been lucky enough to experience some of the top in the industry.

                                Can't PM - guess it's because you're incognito. While I have never seen the place, I have known the Wickses of Rose Ranch for years. Allison & her students show very successfully locally and at the equivalent (I'm guessing) of at least our east coast HITS/Ocala - if not WEF.

                                Stabling out west is quite different from what we in the less-populated east are accustomed to. If there's turnout, it's likely to be on sand in pipe corrals/ paddocks. Quite the shock to our white board fences sensibilities, but the horses seem to be OK. Or you could go real ranchy and turn out in a 100 acre field with a herd.

                                Oh - and showing 'locally' is a different reality, too. May not be what you're accustomed to think of as 'local'.

                                I'd suggest calling and talking to a few of the people suggested - you can at least get a feel for them over the phone.

                                  Sorry about that. I thought I enabled the PM function. It is now working if folks would like to PM me with more details.

                                  The whole move is still way up in the air, but I'm a planner so I'm researching now so I'll be prepared.
