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!

    When he was a weanling, his ears were huge! My friend walked up one day while he was standing in the wash rack and yelled from across the yard, "Hey Muley!" It stuck. More of a term of endearment than anything else.

        Rivenoak - don't give up hope! That's why I revived the thread. To find these people for a future visit & maybe in the process they'll try to get together again.

            Much better thank you!
            And last weekend, we did a schooling show. We got high score of the day with a 65.38%!
            At least I think we got high score. There were several rides left as I departed, but Muley had the highest score of the show as I left.
            His other score was a 60.9%

            I started taking lessons with Ellie Stine-Masek, do you know her? She only comes to my barn once a month, but I really like her teaching method. She's got a good eye, so I'm going to stick with her.

                  I LOVE ELLIE!!! And I've also loved her when I
                  ve ridden for her when shes judging. I didn't realize she drives up to Phoenix too! Shes very to the point and at the end of the lesson theres a huge difference, even if you only see her once a month (about the same for me, although its been awhile since the last one).

                  Congratulations at your last show! Brian was being super nit picky and wanting submission -- I don't like those arenas at the Fairgrounds, I wish they would still hold the show outside. Too much to spook at!

                      I heard RAR talking to her trainer about her upcoming hunt!
                      How fun! I would love to go on a hunt someday, but we're not jumping yet.

                        Muley & Killian-
                        I'm RAR's hunt connection! You don't need to jump. If you want more info, let me know - I'm the Honorary Secretary for the beagle pack.
                        I keep my horse @ Haldiman Farms, as I live in S. Phx.
                        I don't ride with anyone. Up until about a year ago, I leased horses from/thru Alice.
                        And yes, Muley may be a Sonoran Warmblood. Ask RAR to show you the logo!

                          Pleased to meet you both!

                          RAR is very excited, as you can tell from her posts in the Hunting forum. Muley - you'll be there, but not riding? It sounds like fun.

                          Someone in VA invited me to hunt with their beagle pack. I've never been hunting on foot, but it sounds fascinating.

                          Does it count that my dog flushed a beautiful fox on Thanksgiving Day while we were hiking in the woods? That was the best view I've ever had!

                          I can't wait to hear how it goes, & I will definitely contact you folks when I visit.

                          BTW, do you yell Tally-ho when you hunt on foot? The woman in VA described their hunt attire. What do you all wear?

                            Wow! Rivenoak! That is so cool!
                            I would love to hunt with y'all sometime!
                            But I am a total newby with regards to hunting.
                            I've ridden my whole life, and have been learning dressage for the last 16 years.
                            I've always wanted to hunt, and would love to join you one day.

                            Do you have more information on the net?
                            Anyplace where I can learn more about it?

                              Can't say Killian's dog flushing a fox was hunting, but it was probably very exciting and was definitely a great view!

                              Staff in PVB do say Tally-ho.

                              On Sundays or other formal days, we wear green coats, white breeches, black boots. Colors, when earned, are Buchanan plaid on the collar. I have a Buchanan plaid vest as well. I think we're stunning. If you're a newbie, dark coat & light breeches will be just fine.

                              If you're a western rider, you should dress conservatively. Thursdays & cubbing are informal, such as any foxhunt informal day would be.

                              Muley-many places to search on the net. Start w/ mfha.com which has great links, find the listserv foxhunters-online & subscribe, check out PVB's pictures on the website @ msn groups, or PT me!

                                Rivenoak & Muley -

                                First, Muley, why don't you go with RAR & hilltop? I bet you'd love meeting new folks & checking out a new sport. And it's an easy way to ease into the new scene. Plus you'd get to meet Rivenoak.

                                Rivenoak - I was incorrect. The lady from VA invited me to hunt with bassetts, not beagles- the Ashland Bassetts. They hunt rabbit in Fauguier & Culpeper Counties with French-type hounds.

                                I understand you hunt jackrabbit & certainly your terrain is different. She says they wear waterproof boots (I'd wear my Wellies) which probably isn't necessary for you unless you're caught in a wash! During the week it's casual (like most hunts, though some people wear the traditional green jacket, stock tie, canary vest, & brush pants. I have a picture in my mind of what your attire looks like, but it would be fun to see it. I bet most of what I have in my horsie wardrobe would be appropriate.

                                Oh, & what's your season? Well, enough for now. Once again I am envious & hope to meet you all soon. I'm so glad I resurrected this thread!

                                P.S. Muley - check out the Hunting Forum. I check dressage from time to time!

                                    Killian-
                                    Our terrain is definitely different! Desert.

                                    We are a mounted pack, hence the riding boots. If you look at the photo albums at the website, you will see some of us in our attire. Unfortunately, I don't have any good ones I could attach.

                                    We hunt Nov-Mar in Phx. There is summer sport in Flagstaff as it pleases our MB.

                                    Must now go clean tack & tire out horse in preparation for RAR's debut tomorrow.

                                      I just read RAR's account of the day & it sounds like she had a fabulous time. And she wants to go again!

                                      Thanks for the info!

                                        Here's Rivenoak on the 3-year-old cob filly.
                                        Unfortunately, you can't see her nifty vest.
