Hi sorry it hasn't worked out, I personally wouldn't buy unseen only because I'd like to meet and make sure me and the horse are a good fit.
I bought my boy from a dealer he'd come over from Ireland and hadn't been listed yet when I'd called to ask of they had anything suitable.
My boy does have impeccable stable manners and manners in general.
I know your dead set on returning but maybe he's the type of horse who needs to learn to trust. It sounds as though he's a little scared and trying to protect himself, he'll have gone through the ordeal of auction, dealer, travelling to you and then vet and other strangers all interrupting him.
I recently moved my boy to another yard (owned him 3 years) and we lasted a week because at the new yard he was so anxious and acting out. The very day we moved back he was back to his normally happy self.
Horses are sentient beings and he's going through a lot of change maybe you coukd give him some time to try and bond with him a little make him feel safe and see how he is xx
