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!

            You are all wonderfull,

            Fred,do you ever get to Florida?.I would really love to meet you.

            The chances of me ever getting to Canada are remote,other than being diverted when flying,in which case I would probably hire a car and drive the rest of the way.

            Did I ever tell you all I loathe Flying,once up and down for me,no connecting flights,and plenty of hooch.

            I am driving up to Madison WI this summer,the others are Flying.

                Just to remind you there are only a few more hours left, with Canterlope still in the lead with a bid of 1,025!
                fernie, I would love to go to Florida, in fact I would love to leave the property for more than 2 hours at a time! My husband is a musician, so any holiday we might take has to work around his touring schedule, and any vacation also has to work around the horses, breeding, foaling. Maybe this autumn? We have to drive everywhere, my husband's brother was killed in a plane accident and he refuses to fly. - But 2 days drive down, 2 days there, and 2 days drive back... who says we horse people don't get a break?

                    About 1/2 of an hour to go.... I can't wait to see what happens.

                    Fernie, what ever happens, Fred & "Fred aka AFR" have done you a good thing

                    Would that my new filly were older, Fred, I might have given it a shot, but she is not yet 2, and an APHA sorel overo.....create that picture in your mind for future referance

                    Good luck to all of the bidders, I applaud your efforts and concerns !!

                      Eileen - Fred (the person) has no problem breeding AFR to APHA sorrel overo mares! He is listed with the APHA so you can still get the foal registered with them. I am planning to breed my APHA sorrel overo mare to him in 2005.

                        CANTERLOPE is the winning bidder with a bid of $1,025 US.
                        thank you very much Canterlope! and thank you to everyone else for bidding and for your support of Fernie and the work she does.
                        I am happy to be able to help in some small way, it is my privilege. Thank you Fernie!

                          Woohoo!!! I must go tell Dolly that her dream date has come true, although I'm not sure how thrilled she will be to hear this right now considering she is due to foal any day and is just a little too rotund to be able to get up and down easily at this point. She's getting a bit cranky because she hasn't been able to take her afternoon siestas stretched out on her side like she normally does. But I'm estatic and can't wait to have a mini-Romance skittering around the farm. Fred, thank you so much for offering this breeding and running the auction! Fernie Fox, thanks to you too for doing the wonderful work that you do!

                            Canterlope - Congratulations!!! And Fred, you are such a gem of a woman to come up with this idea and so graciously use your "asset" to help fund poor and starving horses. I'm so thrilled that Fernie will get some funding and I'm ecstatic that Canterlope is going to become part of the Fred family! Canterlope, we'll have drinks and think of names in a few months, OK?

                            I didn't get to see my Ti Amo this weekend as I wound up body-clipping 2 horses on Saturday, then had a clinic with Rhodey yesterday. I hate the fact that he's so close and I could squeeze a few more hours into the day. Thankfully he is happy and well-attended so I'm never worried about him, but there are times when I need to see him and just give him a big hug.

                            Congrats again everyone!

                                  poor Dolly, Canterlope please keep us posted on her progress. Good luck and huge best wishes for a safe foaling. I'd love to see pictures of her!
                                  Eileen thank you - suniday is right, AFR had two APHA Paint babies in 2003, one of mine and the other a beautiful filly out of our BB member Bethe M. B.'s mare Cutie. Many of his foals show sabino characteristics, we think it must be coming from his sire, Brave Shot (GB).
                                  It kind of feels like spring is almost here .. everything is melting, the horses are covered in mud....... and breeding season is around the corner.

                                    Fred, I don't have any pictures of Dolly in her current state (I don't think have a camera with a wide enough lens. ), but I do have two from when she was still competing. The one attached to this message is of her in the warm-up for dressage. We had just begun, so she isn't in a very good frame, but you can at least see what she looks like.

                                      And here she is going cross country at one of her very first Beginner Novice events. She isn't really rounding like she can, but the jump was so low she didn't see the need to waste that much energy.
