Sounds as though you would benefit from lessons, I mean two sessions per week. Selling the horse is still an option if you decide that you have given it your best try. You can probably build your confidence and your fitness quite quickly if you really listen to your instructor, try gridwork as well so you are concentrating on your riding rather than worrying all the time.

Horses can do this, all horses. Especially if you buy an underweight one that has no energy because its underweight.

If your confidence is already low because of your accident could you not try have some lessons with a good riding instructor to help with these issues don't forget a horse can feel if your tense or nervous and see how you go on from there

Horses can tell who they can have a buck and a bronc and a jolly with and who they can tottle along with, generally speaking. I wouldn't worry too much. Just take things slow and go at your own pace.
