how bad has this place become!! First you could not talk about your stallion, now you cannot show your foals - or at least some people cannot it seems. I have seen plenty of foal photos on here with no problems for the original posters, but Cruiseline has been banned and I can only think it is due to her posting her new foal photo as that post has also now gone.

Soon you will all have to tip toe in lightly and ask if it is ok to even use the word breeding!!
 
WHAT???:mad: How stupid - I know why I don't come on here to often anymore :(

I WANT to see pictures of the new foals and growing youngsters and I don't care who posts them!

H&H bring back Cruiseline!!
 
Dunno why we even have a breeding section these days.....
No foal pictures, no stallions, its all getting a bit tedious to say the least!
 
Yes, and people seem to get away with basically advertising horses for sale one after the other in CR and no-one bothers. Double standards??
 
Yep, just logged on at work to put a congratulations post on both CL and Rita's threads about their new babies.... and.... neither are anywhere to be found...

What's wrong with people???? Why can't they just look at the baby pics and go AAAaaaawwww, instead of thinking "better report them, they might attract some buyers on here" - bloody imbeciles!!!!!! :mad:
 
Very sad when someone is as petty as this seems to be. Button pushers should be ashamed of themselves and it's about time they should be named as the BPs when it is for something as petty as this. Sour grapes, jealousy or another stallion owner's spite?
 
IT WASN'T EVEN CL that post the pics she just let everyone know she had a beautiful new foal, it was someone else that linked Facebook!!!!!

Just for you Holly831 but be quick you never know how long it will be on here for!!!!! :mad:

I find that it insults my intelligence that threads have to be removed because seemingly we are not able to just look at pics and decide whether they are genuine threads or thinly disguised advertising.

I don't think that a stallion owner posting pics of their foals are advertising any more than a mare owner posting pics of their foals are advertising. Even if they are, so b****y what!
 
I don't want to buy a foal or am i looking for a stallion but love the stories and looking at the pictures.

How many horses have been sold to other HHOers.
 
What an absolute joke!! Its a little impossible to discuss breeding without speaking of / showing pics of thise animals involved in it surely? :(

Ridicule - thank you button pushers and HHO for supporting British breeding LOL!!!!

Nice foal by the way! :D
 
Cruiseline BANNED?!:eek: OFGS!

Well, HHO, Breeding, BREEDING, BREEDING. How petty is this getting! :mad:

Someone posted about a cremello foal on here the other day, dam and sire named, did they get reported? As the thread is still here then no they didn't, and why should they have? The poster said they bred, I breed, we all breed, otherwise why would we be on this particular forum. What is the difference with Cruiseline, or a dozen others I could name?

Who IS the sad grumpy button pusher anyway?
Some righteous, little holier than thou, jobsworth (are you a traffic warden in real life?) ...come on, whoever you are, stop sneaking about, put your hand up, grow some gonads and complain in public.

Utterly ridiculous! Cruiseline seems a lovely poster and I've never seen her "advertising" anything on here. I cannot understand why anyone would be banned for showing photos of their newborns :confused::(

Click to expand...

Well said, it's pretty obvious that those who have the most foals are likely to be studs. It's not as if these foals have a price tag under the photo is it?

Hobby breeders like me come here to learn from the more experienced people. Those who are more experienced get there experience somewhere, whats wrong with showing a pic of a foal.

The same thing happend to Julia FSH last year, another sad loss of a very knowledgable person.

It's a breeders forum, so it's highly likely the breeders are going to post here isn't it!

It's not even as if CL posted the pics is it?
 
HOW PEDANTIC!


ADMIN PLEASE EXPLAIN THE REASON TO CL SO IT CAN BE AVOIDED IN FUTURE!!!!



CL is a breeder and goes thru all the experiences and emotions we MARE owners do - WHY can she not share them????

I don't think ADMIN should pass the blame this to a nameless person when it is them?
 
I can't believe that, surely you should be allowed to post pictures of your own foals if they have spent the time and effort breeding them. Its that proud moment you have and everyone should be allowed to have it. CL's post was linked via another member just like anyone else posting pictures for someone else (which personally I think is time consuming when they should just be allowed to themselves).
Wish the button pushers would pack it in and let people live their lives. Obviously they dont have enough to do or are as Maesfen said: jealous. Jealousy is a very bitter thing to live with and it wont warm your bed at night!!
 
I got a warning last year as a stallion owner you can not post pics of your own foals but if someone else posts then its out of your control say for instance a visitor to the stud that just happens to take pics.
But if your a mare owner not a stallion owner you can post pics to your hearts delight also if you are a stallion owner but your using someones elses stallion you can then post pics this is how I understood the message I got.
 
It definately seems to be a poster with a vendetta against CL as maaany other posters have given details on dam and sire's breeding and never had their threads pulled, let alone be banned!! :mad::( I myself have, I even posted a link to the stud of the stallion as I didnt realise I was rule breaking and nothing happened!!

FGS button pusher, if you are reading this, seriously get a life. Everyone except you enjoys the foal posts and the point of the breeding forum is to LEARN about breeding practises and naming stallions and the dam's sire is important to those considering said stallions and it is interesting to see pics of their progeny.

What if you are a one stallion owner, like htobago? How is it fair that mare owners can post pictures and they cant share the excitement of their breeding acheivements.

I think it's VERY odd that these 'rules' are being administered quite randomly. I also find it odd that HHO is so willing to alienate ADVERTISERS!! Yep - HHO - breeders advertise IN Horse & Hound - and pay good money for the privelege!

I wonder how many will now look more closely at Horse Deals or Horse Quest!
 
Very sad!

I am not a stallion or even a broodmare mare owner any longer but love to come on here to see who is breeding what by what etc. I find it frustrating when somebody posts about a foal and we can't be told who the parents are! Whats the point???? Surely this is a breeding site??? Pathetic!

People obviously post with horses for sale. sad sad sad :mad:

Oh and I'd love to know who or what the dun foal is - stunning!
 
I can understand the rules being there but this is insane. :mad:
I have never seen CL once even mention her stallions name and it took me ages to find the facebook page!!!
at the end of the day we all need to promote the best of british breeding and if this is the place to do it then so be it, Iv seen so many posts where somebody has asked to stallion advice and got spot on answers - often stallions I have never heard of!!
why dont they cut to the chase and just delete the forum, its going to be pointless in due course anyway.
'here's my foal - its out of unnamed chestnut mare and unnamed bay stallion'
ridiculous. :mad:
 
HHO Admin and TFC always say that the forum moderates itself, therefore there HAS to be a button pusher.

It's quite ridiculous!! As has been pointed out how can you have a breeding forum if you can't discuss stallions AND see their progeny? As for posting pics of a newborn foal, you can't tell THAT much from a new born, they need to unfold and fill out a bit! WHY are forum users, who happen to be stallion owners, being persecuted for their delight at having a healthy new born foal? I can understand not being allowed to recommend their own stallions, however getting a healthy, new born foal on the ground is often the result of years of planning - why can it not be celebrated?

Plenty of people who are NOT stallion/stud owners post photo's of their foals and youngstock, many of which are/may be/will be for sale - there is little difference IMO.

You cannot have a breeding forum without photos! That is madness! I remember before there was the breeding forum on here and trying to persuade HHO Admin (before TFC came along) to create another forum on here specifically for breeders. Before we just had the New Lounge, which was pretty inadequate and confusing, as so many other subjects are discussed in there, breeding related threads got lost PDQ. In the last 4 or so years, since the Breeding Forum was established, the traffic on this site as a whole has hugely increased. Without the Breeding section, the New Lounge would be a nightmare. and quite frankly I (and I assume others) would probably not use HHO so much, if at all? So closing this section would surely only be cutting off it's nose to spite it's face?

It is unfortunate that there is no where else, that is relatively unbiased, for online discussion, that has the breadth and depth of knowledge that is available here on HHO.
