If I were you I would get a gentle old horse and learn to ride before I accepted the responsibility of a young horse. I think your horse would be much better off if you sent him to a trainer and let the trainer ride him for at least two months while you take riding lessons at least twice a week. If you can't do that you will not have too much success training him. A young horse needs a balanced capable rider for the initial training. If you are off balance and inexperienced then the horse will be much more likely to develop bad habits.
