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!

        Cooper says that he knows you've been telling people that he's not rotten. He says that you've been bragging about how huggable he is and that you've changed his very nature.

        Cooper says Comet is his role model and that there is no way on God's green earth that he will be the well behaved little colt you dream of!

          Why do you think at age 30 that you are still the herd leader? Why can't you act your age instead of always being the ringleader in ANY trouble making activity?

              JT3 says that the other horses tell him that if he doesn't keep things lively that you are planning to bbq him. He says that he has to put on a show so he doesn't go to the big pie in the sky prematurely. He says that he plans to party to the very end. He said that he'd like it if you would braid his mane sometimes. Just for something different he says.

                It'd be so much fun if Swami could translate questions from our horses too!

                Surely our COTH horses have some pocket money they could contribute.

                  Good work Swami - you are so right. He LOVES having his mane plaited and it hasn't been plaited for years. It's about the only time he isn't feisty... He closes his eyes and goes almost into a trance. If I was plaiting really early and he was lying down, he'd stay lying while I plaited him. When I'd finish he'd get up and start pooping and running round his stable with the 'YAY, we're going to a SHOW', look on his face - but he'd never do that while I was plaiting.

                  The other horse's are soo mean. Why would I want tough 30 yr old meat? Uggh.

                    From Doodlebug1

                    Hi Persuasive
                    United Kingdom
                    18 yr old mare

                    This is a long question...but it's on a delicate issue...so it needs explaining.

                    Doodlebug1 asks, "I am thinking of sending my mare to stud next year and strangely I had this dream last night where my mare spoke to me and said that as these things for mares tend to be arranged marriages, she was not confident that the stallion'd find her attractive and she wanted vajazzling to make me more attractive to he potential husband. She wanted to know what design I would suggest? She thought a carrot shape would be attractive to the stallion. I asked her why on earth she thought this and she said 'It's been eight years since I last went to stud, so I'd like him to... well, you know... he can take his time on the second cover, but a quickie for the first cover would be my preferred option'. Swami - can you ask her why she was talking to me in my dream and what do you think I should answer? I know she's a teen, but I'm not sure it's appropriate... Also ask her who her dream husband would be. Remind her I'm on a limited budget and I can't make any guarantees! Thanks Swami."

                      I asked Swami this question last night and Swami says as long as the fish is not dead, they can channel fish thoughts and emotions (such as they are). They do tend to come through a bit warbled, as they are channeled through water.

                                Hi Persuasive says that she is able to communicate with you because you yourself are somewhat psychic. She says that you have too much noise in your head and that she wishes you would slow your thoughts down.

                                She said that in her experience any stallion is the RIGHT stallion!

                                  I'm an idiot and missed the "special instruction" box TWICE!

                                  Dear Swami, can you please answer my question (I donated $20 = 2x$10)? If you need help finding my payments, PM me.

                                  My Horse's name: PJ

                                  My question: It's been less than a year since I brought my boy home. I just want to know: Is he happy with his new life and new job and new friends. Is there anything he wants me to change?

                                  Thanks!

                                      horse's age: many
                                      horse's sex: good

                                      Question, which apparently Guerilla is asking at great peril to himself (herself?):
                                      I risk great punishes if I am caught but must ask Swami Bunny how to teach my warponies jumping jacks for freedom fighting. We in PNG hear of the learned GM. We have much monies from our trades. If we pay for his S&Hits, will GM come to PNG to teach our warponies jumping jacks?

                                          Question 1: How happy is he in his current situation?
                                          Question 2: Is there anything he would like me to know?
