[drivingpairs] Time to give up?

Two summers ago my pair bolted downhill at a gallop when a large empty 
semi came bouncing over a hill behind us on a small country road  We 
managed to get out of the situation without a wreck, but Flygill, the 
inside horse, was very unnerved.  It was he who spooked initially.  I 
spent all last summer riding him, and driving him single, taking him 
around large equipment working.  I even had my husband pass us over and 
over with our trailer, working up to a high speed with the partition 
banging.  Flygill was controllable, but never got over acting very 
nervous and springing forward for a stride or two.  Would you say that 
if he were going to improve enough to be returned to the pair, that it 
would have happened by now?   My goal for the pair is to be able to take 
non-riding guests on a nice carriage ride, but the only place we can 
drive is on the road, albeit quiet country roads (usually).  Time to 
look for another horse for the pair?
