...so is the narrative midpoint of Frozen Olaf's song, the scene where Hans catches Anna's runaway horse, or the reprise of "For The First Time In Forever"?

Youngest suggests Olaf's song because it is the only good one of the three; but that their real answer is 'possibly the horse'.

For me, I'm going with the reprise, because I feel that Olaf's song has a different role to play, and I have no memory of the runaway horse. And the story turns at the reprise, or at least, my memory of the story does.

I can argue that the story turns at any of the three points! Because the runaway horse—this is the bit where Hans is going around handing out blankets and making sure people know where to go to get hot food, and then the horse shows up and Hans sends out an expedition to find Anna. And Olaf is pivotal in the concl—actually I retract the assertion that the story pivots at Olaf's song; that's more "introducing him" and just in time too since I am given to understand anyone important in the finale should be present in the first half.

But yeah, I think you're right, it's the reprise, because that's the pivot point for Elsa and Anna.

All of that makes sense. And yes, it is Anna and Elsa's story, so it is where their pivot point is, not where other stories might pivot. I'm glad you were able to articulate that, because all I could do was go 'that bit, because, umm'.
