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!

          Gee, three more added this morning.. two ponies - one grey and one white - and a lovely arabian mare.

          Wonder if we're seeing the "dump before winter" or concern about the possibility of the passage of Ensign/Byrd..

              So sad that the people who OWN these animals - DON'T CARE ABOUT THEM AT ALL. If they would pay people to take them or arrange shipping to a location where they could be picked up.

              These mares are just a piece of equipment to the farms that own them and the drug company they provided urine to for Premarin. And now they just want someone else to pay to make them disappear. It's them same old - "Buy them or we will eat them" situation.

                You are so right. They don't care! Even more frustrating are those that breed their mares - let them foal - then "dump" both of them off at the lot. Who in their right mind would do that?? And this is not the exception - it happens quite often - as you can see from the moms and babes now sitting there at the feedlot - waiting their fate! To me - it's incomprehensible!

                      I'm a business owner and meet with my accountants often enough to know a thing or two. There is one thing that I do not like at all - decepriciation of stuff. Like, the first year my chocolate cooler is worth 2 K and I'm to put down such and such in the tax report. the next year, the cooler is worth less, and the year after that. finally, after five years, they are "not worth a penny" even though it is functional. Not so in the tax book! Many companies buy new equipment and discard such equipment at so a filthy low price. I can't afford that - that's another story. Anyway, PMU factories are using those mares - those mares are "equipment" that functions to give them bucks. After the end of their "tax productive" life, companies are so greedy to demand money from us when they ought to thank those mares for give them bucks and find them good homes! Greedy business owners of PMU factories.

                        Many of the mares at PMU farms are not even owned by the farm they belong to other owners. My neighbor sends 15 to 20 mares each year to a PMU farm for the time their on the urine farm then takes them back home. Theres lots of mares that are used the same way.

                          Update: CBER has managed to place 7 horses today, but that still leaves over a dozen that are still at risk. There are some very, very nice horses are on the lot for this round. Even if you can't take a horse, any small donation will help. We are pooling our resources over at the SAFE/CBER BB to pull as many as we can before the truck arrives tomorrow.
                          Until they are safe.

                              Yes ,Turk found a home. Somehow the oldies go fast.. but there are still so many beautiful horses.
                              I am getting ready for a sleepless night and a very sad morning, and being 3 hours ahead, I will have a lot of time to think of all these beauties tomorrow morning and wonder which ones we could save and which ones we could not.

                                I am surprised at how nice some of these horses are...with just a little more time, they'd get new homes for sure. There's a 6 year old Cremello gelding, a gorgeous dark gray appy mare, an equally gorgeous arabian mare that almost glows she's so good looking. This round has me shakin' my head and we've had so little time to get funds raised.

                                  The truck arrives at the lot at 2pm tomorrow. CBER volunteers will be on site in the morning to move horses that have been adopted or sponsored and trying to hold back as many as they can to buy them some more time.

                                  I know we can't save them all, but it kills me to see these two at the lot and feel helpless to change their plight.

                                    Well, SafeHorses, it's me, the Devil--as in the Devil Made Me Do It. I have some room, and am not above fostering a horse or two for someone who wants to keep expenses down while preparing a place.

                                    Same goes for any Californian or other dwellers of points south of Washington. Since I have a couple of fosters already, I assume I'm approved.

                                    It was $900 for a box stall from Yakima to my house for the Pony Girls. The company Little Indian used is even less expensive by around $50, but makes a limited number of runs north to south.

                                      Hi EBO. . . been missing you. . . hoofprints on the heart we've all got. You know, as I do now too, helping one of these horses is a reward greater than any other horse moment. My CBER/SAFE mare Kona is the best thing I have EVER done in my life. I hope others reading this will choose to adopt, or foster, or atleast go to the website to learn more about how to help the effort. The time is NOW.

                                        Why do I even look? I know I can't afford shipping (I checked). I'd bet money that Sheba the arab is related to mine. Her color, markings, and face just scream CMK.

                                          By my count there are atleast 24 horses (not including the 14 Percherons) that are at risk for being shipped tommorrow. There are also several who are PENDING, which doesn't mean that they are completely out of trouble. If everyone can spare $5 or $10, we can save a few more of these horses.

                                          Many young, sound horses. Mares with foals at thier sides, a LOVELY arab mare, a CREMELLO gelding, a couple of sound yearlings. All nice looking horses and not ready to be disposed of.

                                          HELP!
