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!

  • We are a bunch of lame-o's aren't we?
    Yes. My husband is just absolutely amazed I am sitting here "watching a stall". He just doesn't understand.

      He will learn.

      I'm somewhat of a spaz about watching a mare (someone else's) when I've gone a few days into it -- like Suerte! But with my own I'm 100 times worse, so this doesn't phase my husband anymore. This level of obsession doesn't even register with him.

          • Moonstrider: Thanks for the hot tip. I tuned in just in time to see a tiny blanket put on the mini foal. Too cute!

            Now if only Ms. Suerte would follow suit...

            • Looks like Suerte is getting pretty restless.

              Genivieve - Can you tell her that we are three hours ahead on the east coast. I really need to get to sleep by midnight so she only has two more hours to foal!

                • She is looking uncomfortable. Where is this mare foaling (state i mean). Looks like its daylight. Wonder who is lurking in the background that the mare seems to keep looking at? She looks real ready to go.

                  • I, for one, am so thankful I have Suerte to watch! She is at least acting like she is going to do something! The mare I have on the monitor here at home (339 days) has been flat out in her stall sleeping for 32 minutes and counting-talk about watching paint dry!

                      • Sugarbrook, she's in Ca. If I were as big as she is, I'd be uncomfortable too.

                        I think if she doesn't go, she's going to need a skateboard under her belly to go along when she walks. I don't know that it can get much lower.

                        • Good God, at this angle she looks positively deformed. Her head doesn't even look like it belongs to that huge belly! Her belly looks like it would touch the straw if it got any lower!

                          • clearound - get a good night sleep. She probably will not go tonight.
                            She looked more restless last night.
                            Now that I said that she will foal in a few hours just to spite me.

                                Poor mare. She is so ready. Just had a maiden mare foal here last night. No signs what so ever. Just a nice, kinda regular, bag. Kinda softened in the hind quarters, thats it. She was 331 days. She just kinda laid down and foaled. No muss, no fuss. Dont ya love those maidens?? Some of mine who have had 7, 8 or 9, make a total production about it. Good vibes coming my way. Out to ck on our new foal.

                                • There is no one lurking - she likes the barn cat and he is probably hunting those rotten little birds that have invaded my barn. Suerte is probably trying to convince the cat to bring her some carrots.

                                  • This may be a silly question-I'm completely ignorant when it comes to this foaling stuff-but won't her belly get less low as the baby moves into the canal?

                                    I only ask that because my trainers mare looked the same way - belly so low I thought the baby was gonna be walking on the ground before he was actually out of there! Two days before she foaled I checked on her and her belly was MUCH more round and she seemed to be raised through the back a bit and the low belly look was almost completely gone. Sure, the belly was still lower than a non-pregger horse but it didn't have that droop look.

                                    Maybe all mares are different in that respect as well?

                                        • With Suerte in the past when her belly gets a pointy shape at the bottem and she gets fuller in her flanks she is close.
                                          Her shape has changed in the past 24 hours so the baby has moved.
