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!

        Jersey Rio -- one of the haulers on the list of haulers on the web site will go between Finger Lakes and Florida and will deviate up to 100 miles from the interstate.

        Here is his ad:

        Horse Transport going South (primarily on I-95, but possibly can go off the beaten path 100-200 miles) from Finger Lakes Racetrack (near Rochester, NY) to Ocala, Florida, approximately every other week. Competitive Rates. Contact: Dave Markgraf, cell (585)230-6533.


        He hauled a horse for a friend of mine in June and did it for an amazingly low price and had wonderful care.

        Happy shopping!

            Good news! Hide Song, Qalicia's Quick Draw and Sordid Affair have all found new homes. Best of luck to them as the move to a new life.

            We took eight new listings today, that should be up by tomorrow at the latest. There are some nice horses in the group including a lovely mare by the name of Elaine Marie.

            The season has been extended a couple of days, and will end at the end of next week. That is still not much time, so we need to get as many of these horses into new homes as possible soon.

              What usually happens to horses if they don't find a home by the end of the meet. Auction?? If so, which auction usually gets the Finger Lakes horses??

              If there was any way in the world I could take one of these guys, I would.. I'm spreading the word.. there are so many lovely horses!

                We never know, luvinfoofy. Many of these trainers will take the horses home for the winter. Some others are moving on to other tracks, where the season is a bit longer, some even going to Florida for the winter season there. We just never know if any of them are going to end up at auction. We pray that they don't.

                If they do go to auction, the most likely place for them to go is Unadilla, in the southern part of New York State.

                  That's really good news for Hide Song, AQD, and Sordid Affair! They were all on my list of ones to watch - glad that list is getting shorter

                    Ya'll check out the new horses that were added.

                    The filly Americasguest has won over $400,000 according to Pedigree Query - assuming she's the same. She's inexpensive, cute, and has many of the big names that will impress your (non horsey) family members in her pedigree too

                      The new horses, whose information we took yesterday, are going up on the BB right now. Go look! There are some really nice animals, who really want to come home to you. There are some really good prices too. Trainers want to move these horses, as the season is fast winding down. Here's the site The Exceller Fund.

                      Its cold and miserable at Finger Lakes Race Track right now. These horses would just LOVE to go south for the winter!

                        I just logged on to the Exceller site. It's hard for me to look at this because I work at FL and want so much for these horses to find good homes.

                        Immediately, two of these horses sprung out at me. First is Union Dues. He belongs to my son and his girlfriend. He's a big, sweet, handsome horse who is begging to be a dreamboat in a show ring. He's an easy keeper and has been extremely well cared for. His mommy is intent on finding him the very best home.

                        The second stand-out is Bewitching Eyes. I've contemplated claiming her because she is one remarkable old broad. She has an outstanding race record and the fact that she's been hitting the board as an 11 year old is testimony to her hardiness and courage. She's exactly the mare to consider as a broodmare because of that. Please, please put her on your short list. I'm guessing that the owner will negotiate price because she's been running for $4,000 here. I truly believe she's worth every penny of that. She's a hard knocker and deserves a good home. Please please please.....

                          Union Dues is really lovely. He'd be coming home with me if I thought my husband wouldn't divorce me over it.

                          And Gramps has the sweetest eye.

                            Some really attractive horses - I wish I had more room.

                            Union Dues really is a buff handsome boy and what a kind eye.

                              Oh, I really need to stay off of this thread I love Captain Spaulding. Is he really 16hh? He looks so small. He looks screams hunter to me though.

                              Some really nice new mares too. I especially like Elaine Marie and America's Guest

                                I am in love with Gramps. I'd be taking him home now if I had my DH convinced that we were ready for it. Has anyone seen him in person?

                                Oh why oh why does he have to be available now and not in January?

                                Anyone want to keep him a few months for me?

                                  Oh hunt_jump I think Captain Spalding is a real cutie too! He's got "the look". You know you want to check with his trainer and have him come south....

                                  foundationmare Union dues is a very handsome fellow. I hope your son & his girlfriend find him a good home, he looks so sweet. And Bewitching Eyes is amazing. Goodness knows she's done her time at the track!

                                    Hunt_Jump - I think Captain Spaulding is around 16 hands. That's a guestimate, because we don't carry a stick around. The guy handling him was pretty tall, which may explain why he looks smaller. Here's his pedigree Captain Spaulding

                                    Lion, Gramps is, to me at least, special. He just screams hunter and if half of what the trainer says about him is true, he is a saint. I certainly didn't see any signs of mischief when I was photographing him. He stood like a perfect gentleman.
