Shorten the coupling rein to the workaholic one hole and lengthen the one for
the lazy one hole, thus keeping the workaholice back one hole in both reins.
Bit the workaholic soft and carefully keep him back nice and easy, don't use
your voice to make the lazy one go, but just careful your whip and put the lazy
one to work.
But congratulations that you are making progress already on the straight.
Good luck
Hardy
