When competing, some dressage tests will ask you to briefly release your contact via a “give and retake of the reins.”
The name of this movement is commonly shorted to “give and retake” and abbreviated as “G&R.”
It is an exercise often ridden incorrectly during dressage tests, leading to many needless lost marks.
So, in the podcast episode, we’re going to clarify what a give and retake is, why the dressage judge wants to see you perform this exercise, how to ride a give and retake, and some faults you need to avoid.
(Please note: This is an updated and expanded version of our previous 'How to Ride a Give and Retake of the Reins' episode)
