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!

            Sending you a PT, regency. As usual, not because I have anything bad to say, but simply to take coorespondence off of the main board.

              So spill Norcrest - is it you?

              It's all I can do not to pick up the phone to check shipping rates..... I really think Hide Song & Go Ask Michelle would look good in my pastures

                Oh, let me help you, BeastieSlave

                You will find a link to some outfits that offer transportation from Finger Lakes here.

                Some of them are local, and offer very competative rates.

                You know you want Hide Song and Go Ask Michelle home with you!

                  Can someone pack up Big Time Flyer and Sulky Sue for me and send them on up here to Canada? Not sure where I'll stash them for the winter (since the barn is already overfull) or how I'll pay for them...

                  Sulky Sue sure would look good added to my broodmare band. Has anyone seen her in person? Is she as solidly built as she looks? I wonder how she moves...

                    Good thing I'm too far away. I really like Glowing Brite-she's a real cutie (I'm a sucker for little mares!)

                      Louise, that is NOT help!!

                      (Un)fortunately, I'm ahead of you.... Sallee doesn't go to Finger Lakes and I already have a price from Blue Chip. I love Maggie, but OUCH! the cost of shipping is really reflecting those fuel costs. I think I'll try to stop there and just encourage others to buy. We'll see how that goes

                        Has anyone looked into shipping enough to know a ballpark figure of FL to Phila?

                          So I'm curious BeastieSlave, just how much is shipping running these days? I have heard anything from under $1/loaded mile up to $2.50/loaded mile on other bbs.

                          I'm very happy to see that Distinctive Cal has been placed - he sure looked like a cutie in his pics

                            Well hunt_jump I guess it could be much worse! I was quoted $880 per horse for the 1,100 mile trip.

                              I was given an estimate of $500 from FL to NC.

                              Anyone want to bring one to the triangle area? the more to the same destination the less $$/horse...

                                Oh, Beastieslave!

                                Aren't you right off of I-75?

                                The shipper that brought Twisty down passes right through your neighborhood and he brought her for almost half what you were quoted and kept her overnight at his place in Citra. He runs between FL and Florida every two weeks or so!

                                His price has probably gone up with rising diesel prices, but he is running the trip with trailer anyway, so can afford to be more competitive. He is listed on the contact page that Louise gave you.

                                He will also go 100 or so miles off of his route if it helps people . . . Great guy, beautiful farm in Florida . . .

                                PM me for any more info that you might need!

                                    Darnthefrost is listed on the site - he's out of a Darn That Alarm mare. It's worth remembering one of the better steeplechasers out there was Darntipalarm. Two guesses as to who HE is by...

                                    Plus, in the land of "It's a Small World", his damline great grandsire (?) is Assagi Jr. I handled Assagai Jr. in his breeding career (he was owned by Johnny Sessa, but stood at Ralph Sessa's farm). Assagai was a very atheltic, old style TB who wa as tough as nails. He was also the most mannerly horse around.

                                    Last but not least, I noticed his grandsire was Copelan. Which of course gives you broodmare royalty - Susan's Girl, first filly to win over a million and toughed it out for 63 starts.
                                    Your crazy is showing. You might want to tuck that back in.

                                      Sadly I really can't take on this kind of horse any more, too old/crippled, but if I *were* looking, I'd be looking pretty hard at Big Time Flyer. Nice confo, sounds like he has the *right* kind of TB-tude, has In Reality very close up, should be both physically and mentally mature at 9...

                                      Any takers?

                                      BTW: Was it anyone from this forum who bought "Wells"? That one was the genuine standout of the sale IMO! Would love to know where he went.

                                          WA -- you have very good taste!

                                          Did you see the WA in his bottom side too? Very much like my In Reality boy that goes back to the little man

                                          I LOVE Big Time Flyer, and can't, for the life of me, figure out why he isn't gone yet.

                                          And, no, he isn't waiting on me! I swear! Yes, he is nine, but again, if he is sound at nine after racing for that long, he's probably gonna stay sound.

                                          The video available on him doesn't show a lot, but it showed me enough that if I was ready . . . well, you can guess that I'd already have had him brought down!!

                                          Beastieslave, you have a PT!
