[drivingpairs] itchy pair

How do you prevent one of your pair from trying to scratch his head on his
partner, or the yoke, etc.? Now that the weather has warmed up and I still
have fairly woolly ponies, one of my pair (the green one) gets awfully itchy
under the bridle when he starts to sweat, and who can blame him? Should I
concentrate on relieving his itch, or just try to get him to be on his best
behavior while hitched? How do I scold one without punishing the other?
(Maybe this is a separate topic) When I say one name very firmly, the other
(who is a sensitive little guy) gets his feelings hurt right away, and he
was being good so that's not fair to him. Should I touch the naughty one on
the neck with the whip? He can handle it, not the sort to get upset at the
whip, but it gets a little frustrating to me to be constantly at him. There
must be a better way.
Any suggestions?
