my horse commanche

I bought commanche last year on august14,2010 from a couple that had him and didn't do anything with commanche.
I brought him home on September 6,2010,
It was a rough start with commanche. when I brought him home I couldn't do anyrhing with him let alone to touch
his head.
it took me at the most two to three weeks before he would let me touch his head. now I am able to touch his head like it nothing to it. though I am still currently working with commanche on lunging. in the begining he would pull so hard that he would drag me even though I had my feet planted in the ground. This year he is doing better, though he still pulls on me but not like he use to. he is a big baby. Commanche is my first horse I have tried to train commanche my self I have come a long way but he tries to kick when I try to climb on his back.
Before my dad left for his job we took a saddle and stuck it on commanche. I knew what was comming since I haven't worked with him due to the bad winter that we had here I allowed my horse to stand there while my dad and I started to move away not knowing what was going to happen. I thought that my dad was away from my horse, then I moved because this is not the first time that commanche has done this. So when I gotten on the enternet one night my mother's friend told her about Clinton Anderson so I looked him up. Mr.Anderson is
real good with horses, So I started to do the same thing
only all I can do right now is ground work with my horse
my mother says that commanche is bluffing me. Though I don't know if my horse is or not.
Now that school is out for the summer I can really dig
into the dirt and wor hard with my horse.
I apprecaite you letting me share my story with
ya'll
