I wouldn't put a second horse in the pen with this one just yet. It's a lot to keep up with two horses in the pen if you are not experienced enough. It puzzles me why he is angry going on the other lead. I'd stop cantering him in the pen, and just go to walk and trot work. You can build a mental connection with him and get him willing to go forward. Then you can work on canter. It takes a lot to make a horse angry if you are using gentle, progressive techiques, but you can't let him get away with kicking at you. Which is why I'd stop that gait until he's more responsive to you. If a horse just kicks up his heels feeling good, that is okay. But if aggressively lashes out at you, back down in your training. Otherwise you have to discipline him, and it sounds like you don't have the experience to do this. And give him time to get used to you and your body language. My horses are rarely angry. You might do an emotional check on yourself to see if he is mirroring anger in you. Good luck.
