[RC] What type of training? - Alan Kay

Hi all - I have a 7 yo 3/4 Arab gelding that I purchased a couple of months ago. He is very sweet and has bonded with me quite well. His ground manners are fair, but improving (still moves around a bit when mounting, gets a bit fussy for the farrier, gets in the trailer much better than he did). He is attentive to me most of the time. The biggest problem we have is when we get out on the trail. He really wants to go, go, go. I spend much of my time trying to teach him to walk and trot on my command, not on his desire. But he really wants to run - he hates walking! I am a novice-intermediate rider and don't have years of horse training skills. So my question is - what type of training would be best for me to do with this boy to make him more responsive to me and happy to do what I ask of him, yet not take away his love of moving? Thanks for any advice!
