My yearling is halter broken and leads well in walk but if you ask for trot he starts bucking and tries to take off, any ideas on how to get him to behave? Thanks in advance!

Hat, gloves, lead with two people, one either side, each holding a lunge rein and practise.
This exercise on You Tube is good: Tellington TTouch Leading Exercise for Horses - The Bee Line
the wands (use a dressage whip) guide the horse. When I used it I was told to turn the wands back to touch the horse on the chest as you ask him to halt.

As above post. He needs to respect you on the ground. Sounds like he has other ideas?!
Whereabouts are you trotting him.
Lots of walk then halt (woah and a pony nut to eat), walk on again. Good boy. Woah (halt) when stood nicely , one pony nut. Slowly introduce a few trot strides. But I find best thing is not to do too much and not to make a big deal out of things. Ignore some of the silliness. It usually goes away quickly - praise the good bits, a lot.
Is he being dangerous or is the trot just getting his blood up a bit?

Tough but Fair
Less food, more exercise, and a chain over the nose. Should sort out the "do as you're told without arguing" problem.
