We would suggest watching these instructional videos under the Training and Behavior section of eXtension:
* Fundamental Training for Horse and Rider
* Ground Handling Horses Safely
* Young Horse Management Series

These would be of the most value to you in preparing your horse to ride, but there are other videos on that page that might be of interest to you as well.
