Thank you all. By way of update I’ve hacked him since (with our one reliable friend) and he was fine. He’s still in his myler comfort snaffle. I spent the whole ride shaking so need to get my confidence back up when out. I’ve mostly gone back to working on the other issues. His new saddle has arrived finally. He’s still bucking in it but other than that going really well. There’s always so much to learn and to do with him.

Well done for getting him out again. I do think that if you're that nervous hacking him it would be worthwhile getting someone confident and competent (they don't always go together!) to hack him once or twice a week for you, no matter how hard you try your nerves will affect him and it turns into a vicious circle that will only be broken by one of you being confident.
