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!

    Where do all you people find Harry Hall rust breeches? TS don't fit me very well and HH is the only other manufacturer of rust as far as I know but haven't seen them in my local tack shops. Is there a website that carries HH rust breeches?

      BAC do a google search online..There seem to be several places which sell HH's.

        When I started re-riding in 1992 the sale barn that I ride at uses nothing but navajo pads at home. I have two navajo blankets that I alternate with it that I use for the top & bottom of the pad, so the pad is in the middle. It's much better for their backs, does look pretty cool, especially with my brown double fringed chaps and it's more cost effective.

          I don't care what the fashionistas say - I think we have enough power and numbers to bring back rust breeches.

          I'll wear mine with pride. And relief. They HIDE so much more than beige.

            shade - You're forgetting the leather head bumper that we used for shipping just in case they hit their head and contracted pole-evil. Remember how your leather halter strap slipped through the top and it had holes for your horses ears?

              Oh and one more before I have to leave. Remember when we shipped our horses that we used rolled cotton instead of quilts.

                Unfortunately I don't have the resources to show but if I did I would do it in rust breeches AND cordovan field boots. I'm too old to care whether its "in" or not. Start your own trend rather than follow the pack.

                  My horses name belt - which I still adore

                  I miss the fact that showing is such a fashion show, I miss the old 'anything goes' days.

                  I miss not showing in my hunt cap, unapproved but I do like my ATH.

                    Oh and also, when I was younger I don't remember myself making sure my leather matched my saddle or my bridle and breastplate matched, My horse rode in whatever I had, or whatever I liked, regardless of color.

                    I don't care what boots are what, as long as I have boots, Im good to go.

                      Sheet cottons and flannels old? I still do that for long trips (more than an hour or two). I guess it's the Pony Clubber in me. I love my flannels! Just gotta remember the even pressure (and thump them like a ripe melon), make sure the cottons cover the heels and pull that flannel TIGHT so the examiner can't pull them up... Where can you get the rolls of flannel for that? I'd like to make another set or two, and maybe some standing wraps (plus some of our PCers need them soon). I really do prefer flannel to the poly stretch ones.

                        Oh party rose I had forgotten about the head bumper..LOL...I probably still have one somewhere..yes the rolled sheet cotten..but..we were fancy..we used to cover ours with cheesecloth and secure it with masking tape so they would last a little longer. And if they got yucky on the botton in the van then you could just flip them around and get a little more use out of them....and you know i still remember how to fold the sheet cotten to get the right length..party rose do you remember ripping flannels??

                            Just about everything that comes up in a Harry Hall search is in the UK. I even called HH several months ago, they told me they don't have a website but gave me the number of a local place to try, which did not have any HH at all.

                              All the flannel bandages I see now are too short for me. Oh yes gong all the way down around the heel with the wraps. How about using bandage pins on long hauls, the masking tape could break or get wet. Or how about wrapping a knee with (I think) a spider wrap. With all the "strings" at the back of the knee and making sure to allow for flexion in the joint.

                                Oh and figure 8 bandages on hocks..now that was a work of art when done correctly as were the knee wraps.

                                  Someone needs to have a fun show where all riders have to show in old fads. And the classes and rules are from the 1970's.

                                  I had out grown my rust HH's so one of my students has them now.

                                  I still have the head bumper and use it.

                                  I do have a question what is "appointments".
