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!

          Speak kindly to your little horse,
          And soothe him when he wheezes,
          Or he may turn his back on you,
          And kick you where he pleases.

          • North of Boston, I have a Draft, a lovely TB mare and a pudgy pony who could all use some extra tlc and exercise. Experienced riders late teens or older. These guys are fun and easy...well, the TB can be a TB at times.

                • Are there any horseless riders around Louisburg , NC? I have a couple horses that desperately need exercise to get them back in shape. I would also love to have a riding companion out on the trails. I don't work right now so I can ride anytime before 2:45pm. The horses are for beginners or advanced beginners.

                    _ANYONE NEAR ROME GA?_


                    I have just notified my husband that we are moving to near Rome,Ga. Sounds like heaven to me!
                    Best Wishes from Kansas!

                    I have several horses and ponies that need riding, and some TLC. Though I don't have a ring, I have plenty of nice flat fields to school in, 500 acres of trails - with tons m9ore ajoining our farm - including a trail that runs along side the Etowah River that is an old Civil War railroad bed, and has awsome footing. We have 3 lakes, and old dairy barn with 2 12X14 stalls, a tack room, feed room, and a large paddock, as well as to very large 4 board fenced in fields that the horses are in. I am stil working on building some jumps, but with some weekend help, I'm sure we could solve that problem. Oh, and this is NOT a "come board at my farm? ad. Actually it is a private farm that my husband and I manage, and while anyone is welcoem to come ride with me, we are not allowed to take on any boarders etc. Here are the horses that we have:

                    _Vow_- 14 year old NZ TB. 17 hands. He has done everything. He is wonderful at Dressage, is a seasoned Eventer, and has even foxhunted and shown on the A circuit as a Jumper, but will still gladly trail ride on the buckle. He LOVES to be brushed and loved on, I just don't have the time that he deserves.

                    _Lexie_- 3 year old arab/QH roan/grey pony. She is such a sweetie, and will be starting her under saddle work this spring. I would love some help ponying her, and being ground person when I start backing her. She also LOVES attention and to be brushed.

                    _Maggie_ 4 year old 14.3 hand TB filly. She is a home gronwn that I bred and raised myself. Though she is only greenbroke, she is easy enough for a Jr to ride. I think her calling is to be a pony club horse, or maybe an eventer, but for now, I am just enjoying putting more training in her. She goes in a snaffle, and is just a doll to work with - not mareish at all. She woudl LOVE someone to spoil and love on her.

                    _Happy_ - 13.3 6 year old pony mare. She is one that I rescued as a 3 year old, and will never be sold, lol. Since she had such a rocky start she is still a bit green, but is still an easy ride. I showed her in her first show a few months ago, and though she had only jumped crossrails and a few 2 ft verticles, she did 3 two ft courses, with coupes, oxers, and scary flowers, and never looked at a thing. She is wonderful to trail ride, and has even been used as a lesson pony for a few months. Though kids look great on her, she is stocky enough for most adults as well - I am 5'5 and 140 ( ) and I fit her just fine.

                    _Hank_ - Standardbred saddlebred. He is a BLAST to ride! He is 5 gaited, so will walk trot and canter like any horse, but on command will also do a fast and slow rack. He is fine ridden in either a western or english saddle, though he does not neck rein. He is also a seasoned driving horse, and LOVES to be drivven through the farm on our old Amish 4 person buggy.

                    I also have several western and english trained trail horses. They are very sweet, and as all rack but one - a QH - they are super smooth.

                    If anyone is interested in riding with me, or just simply brushing and giving them TLC, please either email me or send me a PT.

                    We also have 3 pet calves which are like overgrown dogs, and loved to be loved on :-)

                    • LOL - aww, kansasgal, I like to think it IS a lot like Heaven, only it is does get lonely with no one to ride with. Scary though, my husband - who has been watching me ride Vow and Maggie every day, seeing how dead quiet they both are - told me tonight how he'd like to go on a trail ride with me, and he wants to ride Vow. I was in TOTAL shock, but so thrilled! :-) I haven't ridden regularly with someone in years. I'm still hoping that oneday someone will read this who lives near me....

                      • Anyone near Norristown, PA want to ride a green Warmblood?? I am getting over meningitis, so I won't be able to ride her for about a month... She's green, and needs an experienced rider with a firm hand.. She tries to pull that Warmblood thing, 'oh, I think I'm gonna spook... Hmmm... Waittt... Ok, here I go... :raise head and spin around: Tada!' She's really willing though, just needs a rider to show her what she's supposed to do, and what she's not supposed to do. She's an 8 year old, 17hand (maybe 17.1), Holsteiner/Oldenburg mare and right now we're just trying to get basics down, along with ground manners. Anyone interested? She sounds like a handful, which she can be at times, but she is a sweety! (Pictures in my signature) Anyone, anyone????

                            • Charlottesville Virginia area - mature rider will ride your horse for you. Prefer no greenies as I have one at home, thank you. I need to stay in shape to keep up with him and my other mounts are lame or otherwise unavailable at the moment. I can ride weekday mornings or early afternoons. Gentle, kind, will provide references, can bring one of my own (choose from three!) saddles. 434-923-3798

                              • I have a Riderless horse near Gainsville, FL. (High Springs to be exact.)

                                He cribs, so you have to be able to deal with that, but he's an experienced children's hunter, just a bit out of practice. Anyone from beginner/intermediate to advanced can ride him, give me a call (386) 569-6761

                                If you want a free lease at your place, I can accomadate that as long as you provide transportation.

                                I must say, I\'ve met some horses whose feet smell far worse than my husband\'s.

                                • I have a riderless horse. 17 h 7 yr old TB gelding. Green so needs an experienced rider. Located at barn with x-country course, stadium and dressage rings and an indoor. Located in MD.

                                  • I have two horses that I could use help with in the Bay Area of Northern California (Oakland Hills). They are both NZ TB geldings and could use some extra attention. Primarily I am looking for someone to help me work them on the flat or go out on the trails with, although at a later date jumping might be an option. One has evented through Intermediate and is pretty well-schooled in dressage, but can have a bit of a spook. The younger one has just done a few Novice events but is pretty quiet.

                                    • Babs, my horse is up in Orange County. He's broke and needs attention. He keeps giving me this forlorn sad look when I put the other one on the trailer. Especially since hunting season is over and I'm full swing into the eventing season. My poor boy needs affection!

                                      • 10 YO QH Geldings, Montevallo, AL.

                                        One is fun and full of buttons and go without being the least bit stupid. Goes western but I'm not opposed to him being ridden english.

                                        One is sluggy and sweet and turns like a boat. Will mooch beer and gladly hangs around while sweet Mr. Katarine fumbles to apply his halter to his head. Goes western, he too can go english if someone is so inclined.

                                        Don't bother to reply if you're going to spaz on me that both are in the neighbors borrowed field behind barbed wire. I ain't got no fancy riding pen or (snork) indoor, so unless your good enough to hack out on quiet dirt roads and hunting trails, you need not apply
