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!

      Hello all! Doublete will be going back to Suffolk tomorrow to buy more horses. I bet if you PM her she'll look for you! There's a truck that leaves in the wee hours of the night/morning wed/thurs. It will go through PA then straight to GA. I beleive there's room. If you wired money in the am a horse could make the truck. Or we could all make a truck at a slightly later date. I do know 2 shippers based in Atlanta that would run a private load. I believe the # on the current load is somewhere between $500-700. Other prices I've gotten are $575-1,000 depending on quantity. Feel free to PM me or email at info@mapleshadefarm.net

      Chrissy- Imagineering made my short list . Katie says he's a fantastic mover! I have pictures. He's a cutie. If you want more info just email me at info@mapleshadefarm/net and I'll share what I know. If you can buy him then my short list can be shorter

        Well, I would like to adopt/buy one too, and I'm also in South Georgia.

        BeastieSlave...if they would allow them to come this far south, perhaps we could arrange transport together??

        Is it possible???? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

        I only have a second, as we are convening for an emergency meeting to discuss the current situation but I wanted to make sure everyone understands that no such distance limitation exists for horses bought directly from the trainers. So far as I know (ladies, correct me if I'm wrong) Tia Pan and Corduroy have not yet officially transferred into CANTER ownership...

        so if someone steps up SOON and buys these guys from the trainers (we can help facilitate!!) they can definitely be shipped down to GA

        Will check back in shortly, and can I just say again how much COTHers ROCK!!!

          Thanks, everyone!

          Chrissy:
          Imagineering has a really lovely temperament. He's very mellow; nothing seems to faze him. He has big ankles but doesn't seem to have any other problems . A kind older boy who needs a new lease on life.

          Blaster:
          Here's Tia Pan's description and (blurry - sorry! But he's very handsome!) photo:

          1058. Tia Pan, Bay stallion, 3yo, 16hh
          Stellar bloodlines--son of perennial top sire Gone West--and his looks reflect his royal lineage! Stallion prospect only, ankle problems mean no/minimal riding. He is a bit studdish, but would add much to any sporthorse program with his substance and athletic pedigree! Price: MAKE AN OFFER! Call Terry Murray, 401-783-1838

          PHOTO: http://www.canterusa.org/newengland/...ses/TiaPan.JPG

          He is striking - he will need a stallion-experienced home, because he DEFINITELY knows he's all boy.

          DillansMom:
          Someone who called on So So Nice was told the owner has her leased out for the winter. As for transport, PT Doublete here, or e-mail her at doubletefarm@yahoo.com...she has hooked up with a great shipper who is moving Talk Subordination down to JSalem in GA; they may have room on that load. Also try calling Lorraine Horse Transport at 800-423-5935. They do weekly runs from Suffolk down to Ocala, FL and back and you should get a very good rate.

          All of the horses at the track should have current Coggins - they're not supposed to be on track property without one. You would have to get a health cert from one of the track vets, but that is very easy to do. Once you purchase a horse, call the Suffolk Downs main # - 617-567-3900 - and ask to be connected to the vets' office.

            Thanks for the responses.

            I did talk to Jo Ann Ernst tonight, and she already knew about So So Nice. She did say that whoever buys her should contact her to hear the amazing story of her birth. She said it took two vets and four extra hands to bring her into this world...she was almost too big to be delivered! Her email is info@footfallfarm.com. I actually had the honor of helping her deliver a foal once and it was awesome!

            MapleShade, I may have to make a later truck, as I don't know which one yet! I too liked Imagineering (although he's spoken for). I also like Abeam. Any info on him? And Mystery Water...what's up with his hooves? I don't mind one who needs some recovery time...

                Hey guys-
                I have a fever and feel like GARBAGE. So I'm not able to go through my notes on all the horses I looked at.
                But I saw about 20ish horses yesterday, and am going back in the AM to finish up and put horses on the truck.

                The trailer leaves for GA late in the day, AND if we get one more from Suffolk, the trailer will go straight down to GA instead of heading to Gettysburg (War Admiral *may* have one on there and if so the truck will swing over to where he is and down to GA).

                Since I'm somewhat delirious at the current moment, please call on my cell phone if you want pictures or comments on a horse. 617-817-7936 but I'll be truthful, if its not one in one of the barns I have to go to anyways, (which the number is very high, so odds are your horse will be there), I may say I can't if I still feel like this tomorrow. Feel free to call EARLY in the am.

                I will help however I can, some of these guys need to go.

                I also can give you some idea of the trainers you're dealing with, simply from my conversations the past few days. Most of them are now very familiar with me, and know I'm buying for different people, so are very willing to show me anything I want to see. There are several also for sale for more than $4K that are VERY nice. There is one that I can think of off the top of my head that is $7,500 and man is he nice. Big black gelding. And they showed me another one too, can't for the life of me remember details honestly.

                Anyone considering wanting to help a horse... Please call me for why I plant these names in your head:
                Uno Passer
                Abeam
                Judith's Mission
                Von Bellinghausen
                I'm Listening

                These horses are on my "list" for my own reasons, but if you're interested, call me.

                I will be at the track around 12:30 I believe. Am going to my bank around 8:30 to take care of cash matters for the shopping, so if anyone is interested enough to want to make sure money is wired to me for payment or to make sure things are in line, that would need to be done no later than 10:30 (I go past the last branch of my bank on the highway then).

                If this doesn't make sense, I am sorry, but I do still have a fever.

                And yes, we can set up a truck heading south after this too, so last chance for one more tomorrow and then after that it may be a week or so till the next one.

                  Okay. First post. I have no idea what I'm doing. Not even sure I can do this. Am cautiously putting a toe in the water.

                  Any more information on Dankee's Hanky? Opinions, comments, whatever. What about vetting method/cost? And shipping (to NC)? This all seems to go very quickly, so I'm a bit fidgety, but I'd like to gather as much info as possible before bringing this to my family (in a calmer and more practical manner, I hope). Help, please?

                        I can't believe I am saying this and my husband may kill me (I already got two new ones this month but I can't read any more.
                        Which way is the truck going to GA coming through VA? I can take Corduroy if I can find a reasonable way of getting him here.

                                        Oh dear, I'm all stressed just reading about all the poor horses in need, I can't even IMAGINE how stressed you all must be at CANTER NE right now. I so wish I could offer a spot to someone, but Abe took our last stall last year.

                                        So my two CANTER cuties, and the rest of my critters for that matter, are jingling like crazy that there are enough kind people out there willing to give these incredibly deserving horses a chance.
                                        I would like to think I will die an heroic death...

                                        But it's more likely I'll trip over my dog and choke on a spoonful of frosting.

                                          Hey, jingles and good thoughts and goodwill - which all of you are offering in spades - counts too! And is much appreciated.

                                          FYI, Abeam's price is now $1500 "VERY negotiable" - trainer says call and make an offer. PT me if you'd like more info.

                                          I should add that we do NOT know for a fact, nor are we trying to imply, that any or all of these horses are necessarily bound for the meat truck and/or auction. All we know is that their trainers have stressed to us that they MUST sell by the end of the meet.

                                          And we do worry because Mr. Meat Guy has been making plenty of trips to and from Suffolk Downs. (where are the flat tire gods when you need them? Though I still like DressageGeek's "curse" best )
