Help! My horse doesn't like to leave his buddy behind!

I recently read an article about a great method of training but have yet to try it out, I think you should try it.
When your horse is around his buddy, let the buddy relax but make him WORK. Things he does not like doing. Then take him away from his buddy and let him relax. If he tries to go back to his friend, LET HIM. As soon as he gets to his friend, make him work, things he doesn't like. Take him away and rest. Continue this until your horse realizes that in the saddle, his friend only means work for him, and away from his buddy is the best place to be.
PLEASE tell me if this works I would love to know, it would be comforting to know this method works, it might work for the horse I am training! :D

Try to separate the buddies as much as possible.

Whenever he is going crazy to get to his buddy, walk him in circles and zigzags, and around things so that he needs to focus on paying attention to you instead of his friend. It's worked with me before. I don't know if it will help though.
