Overriding TheHorse.com Feed Settings

It’s possible to override the settings of the script to display or disable certain features. Simply take the snippet provided for the feature you wish to modify and place it at the end of the "src" attribute in the <script> tag (make sure you leave the quotations, though). If you want to make multiple overrides, just keep adding the snippets to the end of the "src" attribute. If you are confused about where to put the snippets, an example of the <script> tag is provided for each override.
