Hi, I'm looking for a bit of advice really. I bought a wb x welsh horse as a 3yr old in order to break and sell on. he is my first breaker but i'm used to schooling all ages. Until i got him his only handling was to have 12wk hoof trims. He turned 3 the day after i got him at the end of the summer and i intended to teach him to lunge and then sit on him in a walk before turning out for the winter. That plan went wrong! He is so so nervy so i taught him to lunge and got him used to being handled (he had done i lot less than i was led to believe), wearing a rug, being tied up. he settled a lot but i was certainly not going to get on him as he freaked at anything in his eyeline behind his shoulder. he was turned out then to calm down again and i started him again about 6wks ago by gradually getting him used to me standing on the step with him in the stable then easing myself onto his back. he was fine, stood settled and ate hay. we did this everyday for a couple of weeks before my mum then led him out. he seemed to really enjoy this. we have now progressed to walking circles with my mum on the end of the lunge line, halting and a few strides of trot.
Now to the problem! When trotting left we can do several circles before walking, he is fairly balanced but a little rushed. However on the right rein (his naturally stronger rein) he tries to put in a bit of power and we end up at speed until i can slow him. I'm not sure how to help him as he is balanced without me on him, trots well. its only with my weight he does it. he seems to have slightly regressed having been asked to trot and is difficult to get on, can be done with lots of fuss and occasional bribery but takes 5mins (i'm trying to be very very patient and wait until he stands prop)
Any help welcomed, sorry for the essay!
 
Have you tried this:

Stand next to him, him in a halter (or possibly a snaffle bit). Take the slack of the rein out and just hold untill he bends his neck. Release when he gave to the pressure. Redo it untill he follows the rein to his own shoulder, without you pulling or anything.
Do the same thing on first one side, then the other and then down to where his nose is nearly on the ground.

It should help him to get the braces out on both sides as well as to yield and submit to the bit. Especially the part where he takes his head down would help the speed and controle issue. When he does that from rein preassure easily, you could re-do it with a hands on his poll, and then on his neck (where you can reach from the saddle).

It takes trust and a bit submissiveness for the horse to take the head down easily. As Larry Whitesell said; ''If you dont get that point of trust, why would you want to sit on his back?''

It's fairly easy and doesn't take that long really, but I believe it can help :)
