Barb, the best thing is to get out there and listen. I had to and for years to learn. Sometimes asking questions is not the best way to go about it. I know, how can you learn without asking? Sometimes, it is best to go to the shows, have an experience show exhibitor mentor you, and you learn as you watch and listen. Also you need to read books, plenty of them. When one asks so many questions and the way one may ask questions - it might come off wrong and way too over zealous. It is good to be excited and motivated, but it is best to be patient at times. I know I had to go to a lot of shows, participate at shows, and watch and listen and go to club meetings and listen more.
