Read the website, front to back. Buy the sheets for a few days and get your feet wet.

I attended a couple of the seminars this past summer at the Spa. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was there for the Montreal smoked meat -- OK, that's another thread, LOL. Anyway, what I found -- personally -- that was key to me are a couple of things. First, what the figures include as far as variables is important to me -- just like with Beyer #'s. What do they include, what do they exclude, etc. The TG #'s do not take class into consideration (please someone correct me if I am wrong).

Second -- what seemed key to me was that after you look at the #'s, you really need to start to learn about "patterns" and how horses will and will not perform vis a vis the #'s. Seeing patterns develop over time and learning about them, becoming more experienced with them, etc. seems to be valuable.

Good luck.

Do they hold them every year? And if so, where did you hear about it?
