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!

        17hand...I noticed that a few read 16 1/2 hands. Does that actually mean 16 and 2 1/2 inches or 16 and 1/2 inch?

        Thank you.

          free, that means we couldn't decide if we wanted to list 16 or 16.1 so we split the difference It does NOT mean they are 16.2

            vineyridge, I haven't seen Trace the Blush myself so can't really comment on her, but I can say that Blaz'n Penny really didn't seem the type that would blow up or be flighty - very solid citizen.

                You know, she's one that I really WISH I had seen in person - a couple posters over on the SportHorse Breeding forum commented on her (I saw you on that thread free) I just think she screams POWERFUL... hopefully 17handtb or DKL can chime in.

                  I can, I can! I took Powerofappointment's listing and have now jogged her out a couple of times for a prospective buyer (her trainer is older and prefers not to have to do that, so I've gotten my exercise, hee hee).

                  My take: impressive filly. Big, athletic, already a little over 16 hands and she's only 3. Very lightly raced; owner wants to upgrade his class of racehorses and she clearly doesn't have the talent on the track, so he prefers to cut his losses now. She has gorgeous movement, seems hunter-y but could go in any direction. She will need someone experienced as she is young and a tad "opinionated," but has good stall manners and seems friendly.

                  And that white patch on her neck in the photo is NOT dirt - it's part of her coat. Sabino gene somewhere, perhaps?

                      Also would like to know if Jared's Pride (# 753) is still available (why) and all that you know about him.

                        No need to PT, pretty straightforward on both: the prospective buyer who looked at Powerofappointment really liked her, but found another horse she liked even better. Jared's Pride has been racing very well the last few months (including a few wins) and his owner wanted to keep him racing as long as he could.

                          Just one more shot at torturing myself. Anybody who has seen Illuminated Gold in person...any insight into temperament and movement? Thanks....I think?!

                            Oh, we know that torture well - not only inflicting it, but experiencing it! I have only seen Illuminated Gold (aka "Goldie") briefly, but she seemed sweet and gentle. She is another one who just does not want to be at the racetrack - needs some one-on-one attention and a more stable (no pun intended) environment.

                            LBM and I witnessed her running hell-bent back to the barn last month...we were standing there waiting for a buyer and Goldie apparently had gotten away during the post parade for her race. She looked really sound to us as she came flying by!

                            She's a nice horse, and her owner wants her gone "yesterday," so I would say definitely call and make an offer (pending vet exam) if you're interested.

                              Darn, you have a good memory - I totally forgot about that. Yes, she was lovely as she went cantering by back to her barn Actually we were really surprised not to see her going full-speed, she really did just canter nicely on by...

                              Her trainer had quite a lovely lope as well as he tried to chase her down

                                STOP!!!!!! I only have one stall which is currently occupied - but geesh I can't stop pouring over all the little mares on Canter (ideally I'd want one between 15-15.3, chestnut, or bright bay, or black, or dark bay, or .....) - this is torture!!!!!

                                      Crestview...I tried to buy that gelding, even had a name picked out for him and everything, but I called the trainer several times, and he never returned my calls, so I assumed the horse had been sold. Last time I looked, he was still listed on Canter Mid-Atlantic, though. Not sure what the deal is....

                                          Okay, can't stop looking!

                                          I am dissolving my partnership with a really "nonhelpful" partner, but still really want to get another OTTB.

                                          I have a friend that will go with me next weekend to look, if any horses are around. Is there a vet at the track, or would I have to call ahead and make an appt with one?

                                          I have never gotten an OTTB vetted before, but this one will be for ME to get back into some showing/jumping with.
