Yes, a lot of the riders aren't very good at riding their horses into the fences - but then again they are novices and they are nervous so they will be hesitant. Having the 1) confidence to ride a horse into a fence and the 2) ability to see a stride into a fence are only things that come with experience. Not to mention knowing that you don't fiddle with a horse's stride once you are in the final 3 strides into a fence - you leave it to judge for itself once you have committed that far or things are more likely to go pear-shaped.
