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 have never even considered a horse with a bone chip, can anyone tell me the logistics?

            Diana -- I'm not familiar much with knee chips, but I can share what I know from having chips removed from fetlocks.

            Many times, when a bone chips a bit off, the body surrounds it with a protective coating of scar tissue, and it doesn't rub anything and doesn't hurt the horse. If the chip has rounded edges, it typically isn't painful, at least this is what the surgeon at UF told me.

            Horses can go along with chips and be totally fine for a long time, but sometimes, something happens and changes it -- in Buzz's case, the scar tissue on his big chip had worn off and though it was a rounded one, it was lodged in the joint in such a way (think guitar pick sticking out and twanging against other parts of the joint) that we had to get it out.

            Since Florida was running a special at the vet school "any additional arthroscopy $100 per joint" (I am NOT making this up! ) I did both ankles even though the right ankle was a smaller chip and not a problem yet. Now it won't be

            Knees are a little trickier because it is made up of three joints, and the bottom joint is impossible to get into arthroscopically -- but it sounds as if his chip isn't bothering him at present, and depending on where it is, he might be fine for what we do with them, even if it wouldn't be a good idea to keep racing him on it.

            Fessy's Mom is probably our resident expert on knees and chips, since I think Abe had a number of them, and she may be able to give you more insight.

            Please guys, keep shopping! I promise you, if I could afford it and had room, I'd take several more . . .

            On the happy note, our barn "family" just got a new member this week! He isn't living with me, but is rather with his owner at school, but one of the ones Mapleshade brought down from Suffolk is now part of our family!

            He sounds like a sweetheart and I know so many of these other guys are as well, so keep on shopping!!

                Libby,
                Thanks so much, I appreciate all the info. I should probably have my head examined! I just spoke to somone about him (not the main person) and she said "You're in ARIZONA??? What do you want a horse from HERE for??" <sigh> The shipping would probably be astronomical.

                  Diana, Heidi had a fractured little bone in her knee about the size of the end joint of your thumb, and it could not be removed or a domino effect would result, the little round bone was broken into three pieces and could not be pinned, so she became a broodmare (had Contessa) and her knee continues to enlarge so she was never considered sound for any training.
                  I noticed the horse you are considering is a cribber, and there are some impossible cribbers, just ask me, I had one!! She was a woodchuck in the short time I had her, sent her to FL and she even cribbed on electric fence, with collar and this condition was not disclosed to me. I would suggest you pass on this one (family suggestion dear, Larry says pass!!!) I'm sure you can find a good prospect nearer to you. The shipping would be astronomical so he would no longer be such a good deal. You'll find the right one and you'll know its the right one.

                    I sometimes get calls about OT TBs in Arizona or they get posted to ROAN & usually crossed posted to AzEquine@yahoogroups.com as well, so you might want to keep an eye out there if you're looking for something a little closer to home.

                              CGN38 -- have you seen Alicia's Quick Draw in person?

                              Anything you can share?

                                I have seen Alicia's Quick Draw in person, as has cgn38. We both agree that he is one nice horse. And, that price is a real bargain. As is always said, a vet check is strongly recommended.

                                    Quentin has a bone chip in his knee. I've had him for over a year - no problem with it and he flexes fine on it as well. I guess time will tell if it will become a problem in the future.

                                      Off to the track this morning. Things are winding down, with the last race day being November 29. After that the trainers have a few days to vacate the track.

                                      So, time is getting very short. Please take a good hard look at these horses, and see if there isn't room in your heart and your pasture for one or two of them.
