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!

But I just ordered sidesaddle stuff from them, and they are fabulous to work with, and the coats are just lovely.

          No one on this thread was saying colored shirts are trendy. But several of us were saying that we loved colored/pattered shirts back in the day, because there was a gorgeous array to compliment horse and rider, and some of us never entirely have stopped wearing them. They're not a trend, they're something several of us wish would come back. Then again, I'm also always threatening to order men's dress shirts from my SO's English shirtmaker, because their offering for men's shirts are so much more varied than the plain and occasionally pinstriped stuff for ladies.
          Oh no I was just remarking I wore a light blue one last summer but would actually like to try a contrasting collar one . However , by the time I get around to it they will be long out I'm like those of you that never stopped . I actually need a trendier helmet ( I think anyway ) .

            Someone mentioned colored leather belts. I'd love to see any new companies or lines from established brands. Any suggestions? I adore my cognac boots but I dislike pairing them with black and I don't wear fabric belts, so my options feel limited at times.

            I feel like the super blingy western-esque belts came and went really quickly but am I the only one who really enjoyed the over the top bling peaking out from under a jacket or in full view when schooling?

              I'm seeing things gear towards a very techy european high fashion look.

              Lots of Animo jackets and breeches.

              Tucci and Parlanti boots.

              Samsheild and Antares heltmets. I see lots of men wearing the Antares helmets.

              I have only seen white shirts the entire 6 weeks I've been at HITS.

              Some of the breeches people are getting are WILD looking.

              This is the jumper ring I'm talking about. It's very "futuristic equestrian" looking to me.

              Hunters I'm still seeing white wrap collar shirt, tan breeches (TS usually), nice fitted sock-like boots that don't have enough embellishment for me to usually know what brand they are, and lots of Samshield helmets.

                  Speaking of Pytchley my husband and last teen daughter went to GOODWILL to find a new vacuum ( he is Dutch and very frugal to say the least ) and miraculously came home instead with TWO pair of s 26 long BEIGE Pytchley breeches . I was THRILLED . I think he paid like 5.00 for both . Yes its a classic but they are perfect. Not a pinprick or stain anywhere !!! Had to tell someone and you all would understand .

                  As far as shirts I think I have been wearing LIGHT solid colored ones since 1968 !
                  I wore a light blue one last summer and placed consistently high . I am in the Seattle area but still , born and raised in Texas . I want to try the ones with the contrasting collars.

                  Hahaha! I didn't know you were on the forum! As I read your post, I kept thinking, this sounds like somebody I know!

                  And I want to know which Goodwill that had pytlchy breeches. And I still love a dark green coat.

                  Give Marie a pat for me. (Once you Rack, you never go back!)

                    Im a little out of the loop, but I thought the Charles Anacona coats at WEF that have the attached cuff were cool. Are people wearing those?

                        From what I have seen there are a lot of really awesome trends. You're either team Parlanti or team Tucci now. Spur belts are still popular, but it's dying off a bit now. The reversible belts are more fun (Asmar, Mane Jane etc) and there is a buzz over the Rebecca Ray Suede ones. Polo-style belts are still in.

                        In the jumpers you see:
                        - Charles Ancona jackets
                        - Coloured coats (burgundy is so nice)
                        - Samshields with custom trim parts
                        - SHL shirts
                        - Le Fash

                        Hunters
                        - green coats including shads (still)
                        - Samshield and GPA first ladys still reign
                        - Starting to see more Samshield visors

                        Hunt Club, My Barn Child, Sport Horse Lifestyle, Personally Preppy, Tucker Tweed and Aztec Diamond all have huge cult-like followings. Might have something to do with their flawless brand marketing and great products.

                        The KASK helmets look ultra nice and I'm thinking they are going to blow up soon. I certainly want one. Looks way more flattering that the first lady.

                            I'm spending the weekend at WEF and this is what I've noticed:

                            -Tons of Samshield, some Charles Owen, and the occasional GPA - mostly First Ladies on juniors and ammies. Saw a few Antares as well. Everyone is saying Kask is the next big thing, but I've only seen one person in a Kask in two days.
                            -Jumpers: tons of Animo and Equiline coats, and their breeches too. A fair amount of Charles Ancona. Plenty of navy and black coats with collars and piping, but I also saw just about every shade of blue (including very, very bright blue from Equiline), every shade of green (Animo is doing a sort of blue-green that seems to be a hit, and I saw some mossy green), a lavender (could have been a french blue?), some gray, a few burgundy, and two girls in a beige/mushroom color. Some subtle bling or sparkle on collar or shoulders is happening here and there.
                            -Hunters are wearing Charles Ancona (especially custom) and Sarm Hippique. Lots and lots of green and gray coats. There was a girl in the 15-17 eq in a gorgeous charcoal plaid coat.
                            -Boots seem to be Parlanti, Tucci, or Der Dau. Spotted a fair amount of Sergio Grasso as well, and a handful of Monacos.
                            -Everyone's in white show shirts, except for the occasional person in a navy or gray with a white collar. The colorblocked shirts are big as well.
                            -Lots of spur belts, lots of polo belts, still plenty of Tailored Sportsman belts.

                                Its when the belt has a buckle that resembles a spur like this:

                                  Those Charles Anacona coats w/ the cuffs - holy moly! I wish I could justify one - it'd solve my the-sleeves-of-all-my-shirts-are-always-too-short! But I probably do not need a $800 coat for adult w/t schooling shows!

                                    I saw a DQ in Florida wearing a brown copper shade of Samshield hat & matching boots, a medium brown coat and white breech and stock.
                                    She rode well, very well. I like!!

                                      Totally not on trend for a DQ - I wear a pair of Ariat Volant S Tall Zip Boots in the rectangle. Honestly, they are so comfortable I wear them all the time. No more breaking in stiff dressage boots for me!!!

                                          Whatever you do don't try one on! Because once you do, you will start finding ways to justify ordering one even tho you only show maybe 8 times a year... I skipped the cuffs, but did get the little holes to thread the number string through so the string is hidden. I think the cuffs are gaining popularity with all the short sleeved shirts out there, but I still plan to wear long sleeves.

                                          I was at wef (spectating and as it turns out shopping) and saw a lot of awesome colors of coats for sale - slate gray, mossy green, light blue, that dark red - but in the show ring it was still a lot of black/navy/hunter w a white shirt.
