Thanks XI am probably repeating what others have said but I would strongly recommend investing in a pro rider to teach him to get out of these habits before they get any worse, if you could have someone a few times a week for a while I am sure this will be sorted in no time, I have watched so many horses like this and worse come in from owners that throw this behaviour and worse at them and they will be able to have the experience and confidence to say no and ride it out and then will help you learn how to do once he has learnt it isn't going to be tolerated. They are quickly turned into polite and respectful horses with the right training.
I realise 'pro rider' covers a huge variety of people and when you ask for recommendations make sure they are very experienced with this kind of thing and I realise they can be expensive but its definitely worth the investment at this point!
Good luck x
