cant decide. situation is: had horse about 6 months, over last couple of months he's been more and more fizzy, esp hacking on his own resulting in few bad rides and major confidence knock. very unlike him, has been moved to hay as found out haylage was super rich and prob making him nuts. since moving to hay 10 days ago, he's been back to his normal self to ride, lovely. i've mainly been doing schooling or hacking in company to boost my confidence again this week. so tomorrow, do i bite the bullet and go for a hack on my own or do i just stick to the school? kinda think if i know now the haylage has been hyping him upso he should be fine, but if he's not, i'd be bit gutted!!
 
maybe wait, until you have some company, even someone prepared to walk along with you..... just to see how he will act, or whether you will have any probs.
That way, you should be a bit more confident, and if anything does happen you have someone with you. Thats what I would do anyway. Hope you get your confidence back with him.
 
Try a short hack - you don't have to go far and if you just stay in walk (if you can) then there's less temptation for him to go nuts
