Star Crossed drills By Nancy Gyes This setup is one I used at a recent seminar and I liked it enough to share with you. It is reminiscent of my Alphabet Drills and has an unlimited number of patterns and drills you can train. There are a fair number of push-to-the-back challenges as well as threadles, and then simpler figure-eight and star patterns. I love the four-jump star in the middle for cloverleaf patterns and push-throughs as well as simple circles joined with obstacles on either end. I hope you have as much fun training on this setup as I had teaching with it.
