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!

      Cowboy, there is not such thing as an empty stall! That is why I am worried about getting my own farm in the future.

        • Okay, so this guy WASN'T a part of the recent auction, but I didn't want to start a new thread JUST for him! Even IF we had room in the barn where I board, we DON'T have facilities for a stallion! :-(

          "......C-1047-09 CANTER OWNED STALLION, 17 years, solid 16 hands. Impressively built chestunt. "Cathy's Regal Son" is a proven producer of big, full bodied foals His produce have not only remained sound as racehorses but have went on to new careers in eventing, dressage and hunter jumpers. He is short coupled with a nice set on neck and sloping shoulder. He is a well mannered stallion that needs to find a permanent home with lots of turn out. He is still young enough to produce your next top sport horse!! See him in person in the Metamora area. $250....."

            He *IS* a very purty boy. He looks athletic. I wonder why they are getting rid of him.

              • Congrats to everyone who took in a new TB this week, they all look so happy from all of the picture so far! Anyone know who purchased Bluebyslew? He was an awesome looking horse, I fell in love with is puppy dog face. Also, anyone know why the chestnut with a blaze (gelding - "rocking horse canter" - forgot his name) wasn't taken: I remember a lot of people were interrested in him?

                • The new one my sister bought today is so thin. I'm so glad Catherine told Tammi about this one...he looks like he really needed a home! Not quite sure the whole story on him...but I think there was a problem with the owner not paying for him and he wasnt being fed any grain...just some hay. They said he lost 100 pounds in the past 6 weeks. Poor guy. She said he is really sweet though. His name is Irish. His pictures will be up on the web site soon.

                  Amazing how many horses in need of new situations just at this one place alone.
                  CANTER is a godsend to them for sure!!!!

                    • Looks like Fossie's Jill might be coming home to NH after all. I'll have more later, but Sherri is going to be in touch with the trainer this afternoon. I will know more when I talk to her after work...

                        • Bless Cowboylogic's sister and niece, who came to Suffolk specifically looking for a kind horse who really needed help. I was not expecting the horse they ended up with to fit into the "needing help" category - until his trainer called us over and I almost fell through the floor looking at him. He is a SWEET, kind boy who fell in love with Cowboylogic's niece right there (and vice versa, I think ) and he had a pleading look in his eyes. I think they honestly do know when they are in trouble and endlessly appreciate those who show them love and get them somewhere safe.

                          Doublete, could you PT me as well - I would love to know the story behind this one. Makes me sick. Am glad I have seen the pictures of the poor guy enjoying his new beautiful home and getting lots and lots of hugs and pats on the nose.

                          Sophab, you and Sherri are awesome. I HOPE Fossie's Jill can go home with you!

                          • That mare just stole Sherri's heart...she was honestly Sherri's favorite that we saw that day. As long as her owner really is willing to take an offer this time, I am relatively certain she will come home.
                            I have been having such a good time loving the new girls. Snickers has taken to Nikki, Sherri's Han x TB mare. She follows Nik around like her shadow.
                            Sophie and Fancy get along famously until I come to visit...then Sophie turns into my little devil child. She had the "fart attack" to end all fart attacks yesterday when I walked Fancy out of the barn so Sherri could clean her stifle. Sophie trotted over to us as close as she could get, she stomped her feet and tossed her head and tore around the pasture bucking and farting and running her little heart out. She gets VERY jealous when it comes to her mother...
