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!

    EL,

    Just wanted to say that my thoughts are with you and to offer you support. It seems to me that you've done what was necessary to to make this pony's life easier. He was clearly on his last legs and he's been through a heck of a lot ...... and so have you since you took responsibility for his care.

    I absolutely appreciate how damned hard this sort of thing is - I used to provide respite care for horses on behalf of the ILPH. Those were in the main awaiting the outcome of court cases. I had to stop because it got so it dragged me down: it broke my heart every time one died or worse still was returned to the owner who'd caused it so much suffering.

    What you're doing is right though and I hope Tiny Tim either turns the corner or has a quick and peaceful passing.


    I'm wishing you and yours well.................... and I'm wishing a totally and utterly miserable life and a plague of festering painful boils on the private parts of those who were so cruel to this pitiful and innocent animal. If they get hassled and prosecuted for neglect and causing suffering then all the better as far as I'm concerned.
    Thomas said it just right.

    Darling, darling TT.

          So, so sad.

          Thank you to EL, Mr. EL, the vets, and everyone else who made such a difference in Timmie's life.

          Godspeed little one. You are loved and will be so missed.

            Our poor sweet little Timmie!
            Even though it looks as if we may lose him- he will always be our CoTH Christmas Miracle Pony. He brought us all together to do something kind for one in need who couldn't help himself & through our efforts he will pass safely, and loved and in as much comfort as is possible.

            Thank God Cother's found him.

            Gallop on Tiny Tim- because of Paddy's Mom, EL and all the others who have helped here-there has been horsey heaven on both sides of the rainbow for you.

              How wonderful that his last days were spent loved, warm, fed, and HAPPY.

              That is absolutely splendid.

              If you must go (and we all must), what better way?

                Oh, how sad. But as others have said at least he spent his last weeks feeling loved and cared for. I'm sure it restored his faith in humanity - I know this whole thread went a long way towards restoring mine.

                Thank you Paddy's Mom and EL and Mr. EL and the wonderful vets who worked so hard to save him. You all certainly went above and beyond to save a "throw away" pony who didn't have much of a future. He truly was a Christmas Miracle.

                  Oh EL, I'm so sorry This has been so hard on you - I hate that! I'm very grateful for all the love and care you, Mr. EL, and your vets gave TT. I'm also thankful that he was able to have a quick and dignified end. That is a special gift. Something tells me that he would not have had that at his old home..... He was a lucky pony - at the end of his life at least. {{{{HUGS}}}}

                    Weeping and speechless.

                    EL and Mr. EL, you are the angels. Thank you so much for your heroic efforts on behalf of Little Timmy. What a sad story, what a valiant effort. You could not have done more for him. Thank you so much for bearing and sharing the burden.

                    Godspeed to the small one. Mikey and Wellie will greet him and keep him safe. They will be a cute trio, the tiny ancient one, the very tall 12 year old and the brilliant mid-sized baby-all gone too soon, all running free of pain and anxiety.

                    Somehow I wish the previous "owners" could know they caused this sad demise. Idiots. A pox on their house.

                        Like everyone else, I'd hoped for one last summer in the sun for Timmy! But he was so loved and happy his last few weeks--you, your vets and everyone else involved with
                        him are to be commended again and again. Hugs to everyone!

                              Don't know what else I can add at this very sad time.
                              EL, you were truly Timmie's Guardian Angel and gave him unconditional love in the short time we knew him. What a truly supportive man Mr EL is!!! And the best to Timmie's vets for their expert care! I'm just sooo very sorry.

                                      Poor Timmie and poor EL. Timmie is truly blessed to have spent his last days in a loving comfortable home.
                                      I can't help thinking of this in light of the discussions surrounding the horse slaughter ban - how the slaughter ban eliminates an "outlet" for horses that would otherwise be abused or neglected. Timmie has been a wonderful example of how the horse community can step up to the plate and take care of these abused and neglected animals, and how we can pay back horsedom for all that it has done for us. EL has done what we should all do, difficult though it is - give to these horses without asking in return, since horses have certainly given us all so much.
                                      Peace to Timmie and to EL - something very, very good has happened on this bb!
