The Young Horse: Ground Manners

If the horse insists on rubbing, hold the lead right below the halter. When it starts to rub, give a LIGHT tug and say NO in a firm voice. Don't jerk it's head - just a tug. Start with just the voice command NO, if that doesn't work after several tries, then go on to the tug and NO together. Training takes time. Some horses learn faster than others. Don't be too impatient.
