#Welcome to r/Horses!

Rules

##1. Topic Guidelines All content must strictly pertain to actual horses, including equestrian sports, horse care, and current events related to horses. Virtual horse content, such as video games, is excluded. External links shared abide by rule 5, foster meaningful discussion, and include a brief content summary to encourage engagement.

Some common questions may be removed at moderator discretion.

##2. Civility

We require our users to be positive and respectful to one another. This means being kind to those you disagree with.

Behaviors such as shaming, mocking, ranting, advocating violence, and threatening (including threats of self-harm) other users, third parties, groups, or businesses will be met with removals and bans. This includes content that leads to or promotes on- or off-site witch-hunting, abuse, or harassment in any way.

Be excellent to each other.

##3. Inclusivity

Respect others' differences, be they race, religion, home, job, gender identity, ability, vulnerability, or sexuality. When faced with a removal or ban, "I was just joking!" or "it was obviously sarcasm" are not acceptable excuses. Discussions should promote diversity and inclusivity within the sport, and all members should feel safe to express themselves respectfully.

Dehumanizing language and slurs are instant bans.

##4. Ethics and Education

Content promoting abusive, unethical, or unsafe horsemanship or riding practices is not allowed. This includes photos of minors riding without helmets. Discussions that critique or question horsemanship techniques for educational purposes must be thoughtful and aimed at learning, not demeaning.

Graphic and disturbing content is not allowed; photos of injuries are permitted with the Injury flair and NSFW tag for educational purposes.

##5. Self-Promotion, Surveys, and Sales

Strictly no self-promotion or sales links are allowed. This includes personal art, business promotions, YouTube channels, and any fundraising or commercial campaigns. Exceptions are very limited and require explicit mod approval in modmail. Additionally, all posted content must be original; reposts and AI-generated content should be reported.

Moderator discretion may be used when proactively identifying and actioning astroturfing and/or stealth promotion.
