this is how the chatt hills may 10 2 star water should have ridden. I know there were a lot of 4 star horses and riders but by the time you're in a two star your horse should be able to jump into and in water no problem. You can see the difference these riders are riding to their next jump while most of the two star riders are just gunning it and hoping for the best.
I agree with Breyerpeep...no 2 pont at all. Especially the third jumpers. she looked like she was just pulling back on the reins then leaning forward when she went over...
Often times they do this when they have lost most of their rein contact with the bit, or if they are going into a drop. It's not lack of knowledge on the rider's part, it's just their way of keeping the control when they've lost rein.
RIP Maui Jim!! This was the BEST horse trial ever! And now it is no more :(

2:21 do they know what 2 point is? It looks like they are just balancing on the reins and just leaning forward. Alsmost like the expect a refusal.

That might not be the best example, but...
