I'm so sorry. 
I had hoped that I was wrong.
Is she fully recovered now?

She is fully recovered from the incident but her behaviourial issues haven't changed much to be honest.
I got some help from an experienced horselady, but unfortunately she's injuried so can't help on the riding front, just excellent advice.
She was taken back to basics i.e. reintroduced to a saddle, and slowly long reined, lunged and led from another horse with no issues but as soon as I use the dummy legs it really worries her which results in bucking...
I'm no longer as confident with her as I normally am so really running out of ideas..

How about stopping using the dummy legs. Go back a step so that she is doing everything right and with no bucking. Then turn her away while your experienced friend recovers from her injury.

You say she was professionally broken, have you spoken to them?
We bought an anglo many years ago, it took us 7 months to sit on, and 13 months to canter, we literally just perservered, did bits with her, and turned her away. She was very thin when we got her, had been sold and not paid for, and the breeder took her back 3 months later. We found a deep scar on her tongue, our vet felt it had been caused by someone nearly severed her tongue by tying it down to stop her bucking.
We have also found calm and condition to be great for her, she was dangerous on build up mix.
If you want to keep her, I would talk to the people who broke her, then take a few steps back, maybe give her some time, check her out physically, then try again.
I absolutely would not breed from her if she is unrideable.

Thanks for everyone's advice/comments.
The horse is going to a lady who has experience in breaking in challanging horses for an initial 2 week period.
I have all my fingers and toes crossed for a good outcome!
(She is on a lunge line, and the wellies were tightly tied on)
