Trail and Peel

Since you can Peel and Trail (A-2) and Horseshoe Turn (A-1) is it unresonable to assume that you can call a Trail and Peel (old A-2) and a Horseshoe Bend (old A-1)? I would first workshop them of course. Do you know why they were removed from the list?

You're free to call whatever you like if you workshop it first. Use your good judgement, as the material may not be appropriate for the level of dancers you have.

I do not think it is unreasonable to teach Trail & Peel, as it should help to solidify the 'concept' of Peel & Trail.

I've never heard of the call 'Horseshoe Bend' (it must be a *very* old A1 call, so old that it was never on the A1 list). 'Cross Horseshoe Turn' (Ends Cross Clover as Centers 1/4 In & Cross Trail Thru) was once on the C2 list, and may be a good choice for an Advanced workshop.

Trail & Peel was removed from the list because it was infrequently used, and does not 'flow' as well as Peel & Trail. Perhaps another reason it was removed is because from a Mini-Wave Box, it was choreographically equivalent to Box|Split Recycle.
