You nomaly start training a horse when it is 5-8 months old.

This depends on what you mean by training. If you mean basic training like ground manners that can begin right after the foal is born, However if you mean under saddle work you should never saddle any horse or pony under 2 years old, and it would be wise to wait until the horse was four years old before really beginning it's under saddle training.

Your 6 year old horse needs more riding training and better ground manners how do you train him?

Without knowing your riding level and experience and how much training your horse already has it is impossible to know where to start. Training a horse is a long process that can be dangerous for the inexperienced. If you can't afford to pay a trainer rent or buy some basic training DVDs. Go to a bookstore or library and get some books on basic training. It sounds like your horse is a bit green and he now needs some hours to smooth him out a little. But is is so difficult to explain the training he will need if I can't see the horse. Schooling a horse is very individualized. And not all methods work for every horse. That's part of being a trainer. You have to find what works for your horse. But training at it's most basic is correct riding. You have to be a correct rider and you have to 'ask' the horse correctly to get the desired results.
