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!

      Fabulous showing by the GSP. She owned the BIS ring. Gotta hand it to her. And the fact the handler won two in a row (and last year with a Newfie), maybe this is a superb handler too?

      Glad it wasn't the Peke or Tibetan.. oops, did I say that?

        YAY for the GSP! Wow, she was fab...they were all super, the only one that didn't do anything for me was the Peke. I thought he looked pretty tired at the end! All those big energetic dogs (and small energetic dogs,lol) made it look easy.

        Lovely Border Collie, I thought.

I'm very lazy about grooming (duh!)...I shaved my cat and the hounds must ground-tie next to the hose And the one-eyed squirrel, well, she banged her pan on the door today wanting nuts.

                            I totally agree! I'm not even a fan of GSP's, but that has to be one of the oustanding performances of all time at Westminster. An absolutely amazing bitch and a very well deserved victory.

                              She seemed to do less jerking on the dog around the corner etc. Maybe that is why the dog was able to keep her great attitude going the whole time.

                                The pointer was amazing. I was rooting for Knotty (since my mom showed a bloodhound bitch earlier in the day), but there was no denying the GSP.

                                For anyone who did not catch my earlier post...
                                If there is a specific breed that you would like to see the judging on, you can go to www.westminsterkennelclub.org and view a video stream. They are a few minutes long and do a pretty good job highlighting the class. They also have the groups up.

                                  Anyone remember when Herding Dogs were in Working Group? They have a better chance now for BIS. Before they were always overshadowed by Dobies and Boxers and had trouble getting out of the group. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

                                  Others have said it I'm sure, but that didn't exactly slow down Manhatten! (and I think the herding dogs still need to get past the sheperd, and I suspect day in, day out that is a bit of a task!)

                                  Here's my question of the day (for people who have actually done this) - why do some smaller dog handlers all get down on the ground to set their dogs, but others do not? For instance, all coockoo, er, cocker people plop right down to set their dog as they went in the ring, meanwhile all the corgi people stood. Enquiring minds want to know...

                                  (ooh, methinks it is massive grooming time - dont know why I didn't work that out earlier - I mean I used to have a cuckoo, er, cocker)
                                  Your crazy is showing. You might want to tuck that back in.

                                    Agree 100% on the German Shorthair. She looked like you could take her right out of the ring and go hunting. What a breathtaking dog.

                                    Secretly I was rooting for the Norfolk but the German Shorthair was the queen of the ring.

                                      Manhattan! That was the Firestone's GSD I was trying to remember that I met in SP. Didn't he win Westminster two years in a row??

                                      Cockers are usually stacked with hands under side of jaw (no knuckle sandwiches showing to judge please!) and supporting tail.

                                      Corgis have no tail and are always shown with handlers standing, like collies and shelties. I mean, you can get the ears up with baiting.

                                      Someone in those breeds, correct me if I'm wrong. It just seems that the sporting breeds are usually shown with handler to side posing head and tail except for free stacks whereas most herding dogs are taught to set themselves up. But you notice the herding breeds don't have to have tails up and away from their bodies.

                                        I don't actually hunt myself, but when I worked in a Kennel of GWP's one summer, I was taught how to work with a litter of pups on their basic field training. They are amazing even as pups. I was so excited when several grew up to not only receive bench championships but also working certificates.

                                        Can you tell at one time I dreamed of being a professional handler with my own kennel?

                                          Wow! That was a pretty awesome Best in Show Class. I thought it was down to the German Shorthair or Coco... both of them just stood out from the class. Even though I have to admit that I LOVED the Great Perinese and the Border Collie too... what gorgeous dogs! I feel bad for the little Peke but I was really hoping he wouldn't win. Poor guy, it must be hard being a dog trapped in a tribles body. (trible???... think Star Trek)
