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!

      I know we're a long way from anywhere, emcallaway. I've thought about free leasing him, especially if I get pregnant again, but maybe anyway, just to get him in a more horsey environment and in a program. Much better for him. So if anyone's interested ... let me know. People who asked me when I was pregnant of course would have first dibs!

              I had a successful hookup from the first round, but that horse's circumstances have changed so I'm trying again. I'm a vet student in Raleigh, NC. I'll sit on just about anything - I have ridden all my life, did the college riding program thing, etc. etc. I like the hunters but am really flexible. A greenie or project would be great!

                      Horseless in Raleigh, NC- I am currently in between horses. I have ridden small ponies through 16.2 hand horses. I have a pony that is being leased out for probably about six months [lease to buy], and am going to move up from a medium pony to a horse. Although I do own a pony I ride horses all the time, even the green ones that spook left and right. I think we all have ridden a few of those. I will get on anything and appreciate any ride I can get. I have been riding for at least six years and had training in several different disciplines. I am looking to find a jumper for my next horse, but since my last ride was a hunter pony I want a good amount of time on horses before I go looking. I would look for primarily a hunter but spent six months on a strong jumper pony also. Other than that I am also willing to hack a horse of any discipline.

                      I can come anywhere around the Raleigh area to come ride at your barn or can board a horse until I find one I can buy.

                            HORSE SOUTH OF BOSTON

                            My poor boy is so sad! He needs a rider. My work schedule is so hectic that I just don't have enough time to ride.

                            He is a TBX, 15.3h in a really nice barn in Scituate, MA with an indoor and three outdoor rings. He has shown in dressage, eventing and jumpers. I'd love for someone to come hack him. He loves to jump too. Lessons are available with resident trainers (we have both dressage and HJ). Kind rider with good seat.

                            Please email if you are interested.

                                Hi,
                                I lost all my horses an a horrid horse deal with a dishonest pro trainer and do not wish to go into it detail you can check out my other post in hunter-jumper section if you so desire.

                                I am now disabled with, advanced sarcoidosis, (which is a lung based disease), and I have enlarged lymph nodes that require surgery for biopsy, I have been waiting forever through the county health care system!

                                I rode on the A'3 circuit for about 25 years, I am 41 yrs now. I showed hunters and jumpers and my last coach while still showing was Margie Engle.
                                I have a solid 3rd level dressage background and base. My last volunteer position was at the late Joan T. Peyton's dressage trak horse farm in Upperville, Virginia.

                                I am on prednisone medication and have gained weight so I need a big horse or a small heavy weight horse. I am only 5'3".
                                Right now I would love to just hack at walk and trot and build back up to cantering. I worked a lovely green 16.3 4 yr old Trak son of Tarim in 2000 in Upperville. I can ride a green horse. I do best on sensitive chestnut horses that are nervous or rear and I am not a great rider on horses that tend to buck a lot. However, I can stay on all but rank horses.
                                I am hoping someone out there has a nice warmblood or draft cross for me to hack around on. Something out in the pasture that needs to get in shape just like me, as I have been out to pasture now for two years, or something young that needs lots of flatwork.

                                I am very good at basic and advanced ground work and or free longing and would be willing to exchange longing, round pen work, free longe arena work, and or ground driving babies in exchange for some riding time. I am expereinced in all equipment but most important I have good hands and can make a horses mouth from the ground with just a pair of reins, and I have enough knowledge to know when a horse is about to blow up and when to stop to prevent accidents. In addition to Warmbloods I am very good with Arabians and Thoroughbreds.

                                Your horse will get the benefit of prof level riding and schooling for free, and of course I miss brushing and bathing a horse and all of that bonding care, especially feeding lots of carrots! I have all my own equipment including a "real" stubben saddle from germany and a custom made Pratt (Baltimore company) close contact jumping saddle, I love it because it has a dressage panel under a smooth flap. It is a real steel spring-tree too which are so expensive now.

                                I hope to hear from you and your wonderful horse. I can be called at 703-922-0297 or 703-971-7453 or emailed at charrison4@cox.net
                                I live in Alexandria Virginia and am willing to travel to Maryland in areas convenient and within 30 miles of the Woodrow Wilson bridge argh!! and to Great Falls, Leesburg, Middleburg, Upperville, Virginia etc.

                                Thank you all for reading this post.

                                pt me or email me for my complete riding resume. I have ridden with Margie Engle, Mark and Peter Leone, Linda Oliver, Foxcroft School (ms. Margaret Lee), coached by George at Baltimore Invitational, etc.....

                                Sincerely,
                                Clarice Hernholm-Kendrick, (soon to not be a Kendrick and separated from David W. Kendrick)

                                      I'm looking for a rider for my daughter's horse. She doesn't ride too much anymore - Ralphie is an arab/belgian - 15 years old and has done it all. He loves to jump, but we'd like to limit jumping to once a week. He's currently been doing dressage.

                                          I have a horse in Garner, NC that needs some work during the weekdays- preferably in the afternoons and NOT around feeding time (I can get out there on the weekends).

                                          He's a 16 hand Appendix QH gelding who needs an ADVANCED rider. He's broke, but needs a lot of extra work (hadn't been ridden for over a year). I actually am hoping to sell him to someone who has the time to train him to jump, but until then he needs a lot of work on the ground and extra loving.

                                          He goes english and western, but I only ride him english right now. If anyone in the Raleigh/Garner area is interested please let me know- he's at a nice barn right now that has an indoor & outdoor ring, round pen, jumps available, and some trails (also needs work out on the trail ).

                                          PT me if interested.
