Community rules

Barn Court is used by trainers, riders and their families, including riders under 18. Everyone who uses it agrees to these rules. We have no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users.

You must not post, send or share

  • Harassment or bullying: insults, intimidation, repeated unwanted contact, or piling on another member.

  • Threats of violence or harm against anyone, including yourself.

  • Sexual content of any kind, including sexual comments, images or video.

  • Hateful content that attacks people based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or age.

  • Anything that endangers minors: sexual or romantic contact with a minor, grooming, requests for private one-on-one contact with a minor outside the app, or sharing a minor's photos or personal information without their parent's permission.

  • Spam, scams or impersonation.

  • Content you don't have the right to share.

Reporting and blocking

  • You can report any message, conversation, announcement, lesson note, show note or member from the ⋯ menu (or by long-pressing a message). Choose a reason and add details if you like.

  • You can block any member from the same menus. A blocked member can't message you, and you won't see their messages. They aren't told. You can unblock someone in My Account → Blocked members.

  • Blocking never removes a parent from a conversation that includes their child.

  • If someone may be in immediate danger, call 911. To report abuse in sport, you can also contact the U.S. Center for SafeSport (uscenterforsafesport.org).

What happens to a report

  • Every report goes to the barn's trainers and to the Barn Court team at support@barncourt.net.

  • We review reports within 24 hours. We may remove the content, remove the member from the barn, or delete the account.

  • We don't tell the reporter or the reported member who reported what, or the outcome.

Breaking the rules

We may remove accounts that break these rules from a barn or from Barn Court entirely, without notice. Where the law requires it, or where a minor may be at risk, we may share information with law enforcement or the U.S. Center for SafeSport.
