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!

      Trail riding with friends in my favorite worn pair of Levi jeans... we took off up a hill and in riding the canter, the jeans ripped from the crotch to the front pocket. I didn't even notice until one of my friends told me I was "hanging out". It got interesting when we tied the horses up behind the country store and went in for lunch. Luckily I had on a long tank top and was able to pull it down to cover the rip. I loved those jeans and haven't been able to find another pair that fit quite as well.

        I ended up with an anaphylactic reaction to sulfa at work years ago. On the ONE. day. of my life. that I had not worn a bra to work. Seven paramedics working on me, of course the first thing they did was take off my sweater. I was even more mortified when one of them called me up the next week to ask me out on a date.

        As I recall, I said, "Oh, did you like what you saw?" and turned him down.

          Fortunately, most of these incidents were before camera and video phones or they certainly would have gone viral.

              When I was a teenager I ripped a giant hole in the butt of my jeans, and didn't even notice until I sat in the saddle. I would have opted out of riding but I was getting ready for a lesson, and I REALLY wanted to lesson, ripped jeans and all.

              A few summers ago I decided to ride in the outdoor on a very windy day because the indoor was crowded. It was pretty warm out, but windy enough that most people decided to ride inside. My horse and I were truckin' along just fine in the wind until my (fairly lightweight) tank top blew WAY up. I called it quits and went back inside. I figured if my clothes weren't staying on, it was too windy.

                Good lord, I can't even count how many asses and crotches I have torn and worn over the year. With as many hours I spend in the saddle, let's just say I'm hard on pants.

                  I ride with peacock irons, and always tuck the left one up in front of the flap before dismounting. Not because of the clothing issue, though I have gotten caught before, but because of the nightmare stories I've read here about other people getting certain bits of their anatomy caught. ::shudder::

                  I went through an entire lesson with my jeans ripped completely up the back. My friends and trainer didn't comment on it, because they thought my visible underwear was some sort of decorative patch. !?!

                  A girl I boarded with was telling me how she was trail riding at an area with really steep trails, and caught her bra in the saddle horn going up a bank and couldn't get it unhooked... fortunately I am unendowed enough that this doesn't tend to be a problem for me.

                      One of my dear friends who was also one of my students once upon a time managed to hang herself from her shirt and sports bra on the saddle horn as she dismounted. We were both laughing so hard we had to call her husband in to come help heft her back into the saddle so she could untangle herself. Luckily, the horse just stood there with a tolerant look on his face while she thrashed about like a fish on a hook. Ever after that until I quit teaching a few years later, I had students put their right hand on the horn as they dismounted to avoid getting them selves hung up.

                        When I was in college, I worked as a trail guide at a fancy hotel. I was always on the lead horse, so I would walk up to the barn and show people how to dismount. I made sure everyone was watching me to see how to get off, and as I jumped down, my shirt got caught on the horn and I lept out of my shirt in front of all the families. We looked at eachother with shock and I quickly ran into the barn to put my shirt back on.

                        The only redeeming part about it was that I did get a nice tip from one of the fathers.

                            I sent my horse to a (very cute) cowboy. I worked with him a few times and would come straight from work. One time I had on a VS push up bra under a thin T-shirt. We took a trail ride and were in a herd of horses, me on mine, he on a very greenie, then maybe 6 loose horses. The creek bank was steep, so I just two pointed and let my horse pick her way due to the chaos. Hooked my bra on the horn.... boobs pop out. This is a two hand job. My horse is in reform school.... there are 7 horses coming. There was no way to subtley fix this so I shamefully mentioned my malfunctioning wardrobe and BLESS MY HORSE she stood like a rock in the midst of chaos as I dropped my reins and got things shoved back in place.

                            I was beet red. He is the nicest, kindest person....

                                    I was 17 and we were practising for a trail class. The "fashion" back then was to wear a button shirt with only a couple of buttons done up, roll the bottom up and tie the ends up under your breasts so that it looked like a bikini top with tails.

                                    Some joker put the rails on TOP of the barrels we were using (instead of an "x") and I didn't even notice.

                                    Dragged the burlap and cans around, set the rope on the barrel and started to lope towards the jump. That's when I noticed how high it was. Bah, no biggie, right?

                                    Horse went over with me over his neck. He landed and I sat up.

                                    Both my shirt AND bra got caught in the saddle horn and all I could hear was, "RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!"

                                    I was pretty much naked at that point.

                                    Mixed company, of course, including my instructor. Ugh.

                                        Can't believe I'm saying this on a public forum, and it may be deleted, but here it goes.

                                        My girlfiend, Penny, that I took lessons with, had just told me a story about dismounting and the stirrup catching her in the gut and giving her a bit of a gash before our lesson. While....after our lesson I dismounted, got caught by the stirrup and said "oh I just pulled a Penny". At the same time, I turned to face her and at that moment, her face broke up in laughter and I could feel a breeze.

                                        I do not like underwear when I ride as I find they are not comfortable with my ample derriere. The stirrup had ripped a huge hole in the crotch of my breeches. Penny immediately said..I can see your ***, to which I replied..I don't think you need to be seeing that Penn. All the while, our coach was talking to a young family whose children were thinking about taking lessons at the barn. They thankfully didn't see anything, but they were wondering why we were hanging off the sides of horse laughing hysterically.

                                        Like a trooper, I pulled my t-shirt over the hole with one hand and untacked with the other.

                                        To this day, I just have to look at Penny and say "I pulled a Penny" and we laugh all over again.
