I suggested going to a performance vet. never have had one with bad attitude with stifles.usually just not wanting to turn... yes I know you did.. just didnt want her to go directly to aquatred before vet.

I would have her looked over by a horse chiro; she may have rolled her pelvis, be out in her poll, or be out in other areas, all which could cause such behavior if she is hurting. I would guess that she started getting agitated/refusing the barrels because something is hurting so she's associating the barrels with pain. Good luck and definitely get her checked before either one of you get hurt!
