This is NOT a "temper tantrum" but a rider not understanding what to do or what's going on. This is what I see to be happening.
Horse: "Mum, I messed up, can I try that again?"
Rider: Kicking
Horse: "Mum, I really can't do this this close up."
Rider: More kicking
Horse: "I asked you to stop!" Some kicking and junk
What shouldv'e been done is that the rider had taken the horse back FURTHER to give her the propper room to clean the obstacle. This isn't being bad, the horse just felt unsafe.
We considered flies or bees or some bug irritating her but she does it quite often, its a naughty little trick but if you just stick it out she gets past it. In the arena or situations where she is rarely/occasionally naughty at we carry a crop and solves the problem :) she is a million times better and LOVES cross country now (thank goodness!!)

By any chance would it be the flies? The way the horse is trying to kick and whip its tail at that one part?
