yep yep yep!! I ride a school mare sometimes that will refuse a lotttt. shes gotten better now, but still, you can't trust her to go over them without really pressing your leg on, and you can't let her have any slack in the reins. It's all about leg with her tho :p

I think Saffies biggest problem is laziness and looking to do minimal effort, mixed with her stubborn 'tude lol(we couldn't have been paired up to suit anymore than we have been! Ha).. She doesn't trick you into thinking she's gonna jump, she lets you know 10 metres away attempting to run out. I'd reckon it's a mix of all of the above, inexperience and lack of confidence, so I need to buck up and provide those things for the both of us!
