You should not kick your horse in the stomach to make him move. This is rough handling and it is no wonder that he reacts the way he reacts. You will need to do gentle ground work with him teaching him to move on command, not on kick. You may familiarize yourself with clicker training or work with a trainer teaching your horse good ground manners without violence.
