Hey ^^

I'd like to understand the special shows a little better, including federations and junior shows but right now I'm wondering how to get into the futurities? What determines if a foal would stand a decent chance, is there anything you can track to help figuring it out, are there ratings to aim for that do better, etc? I'd like some good explanations if you know anything to help, because things like 'well you're new so I wouldn't worry about it' won't really help if I ever got to the point where I could do well but have no information on how to do well lol

I find the game explanations a little confusing also, so if anyone has a better way of explaining it that would be great xD
