Before we get too hyper about my rides at the down banks (a combo and a water drop), please remember these are my personal demons which was amplified two weekends ago at GVH which you can relive here - http://www.chronofhorse.com/forum/showthread.php?440826-Oh-nice-to-meet-you-Janet!
I was very happy with my mare, she did awesome, I should have just ridden more forward and positive to the water, we would have been fine! Also I nearly lost my armband at the water, juggled it through the coffin and finally wrapped it around my reins sometime after the coffin. That loss of forward for us at the water really screwed up our next series of fences, but we got through it!
