So, at my barn, the horse I ride is extremely buddy sour. I can barely stop him on the way to the pasture if his buddy is inside it. I have tocircle him until he is willing to stop for me.
If his buddy is in the barn, he steps side to side, even if there are other horses tied up next to him.
I'm wondering if there is anything I can do to stop him from being buddy sour. Any ideas?

Pretty much every horse I've worked with so far has been Buddy/barn sour so here's what I learned:

For some horses I would lunge them whenever they act up (stop, try to go in front of you, etc), lunge them at a trot or a canter until they either relax or start to think away from where their attention previously was. If you do this live by the motto "make the wrong thing hard and the right thing easy" once they give you what you want, call it good for the day.

For others, take them on longgggg walks, anywhere and everywhere you can, start by leading them, then work your way into riding on your way back (IMPORTANT: while riding back make sure to stop, turn, back up, etc so that his brain is on you and not getting home), it's what I did for my gelding who couldn't even walk 5ft off the ranch while I was leading him, and now I can take him on trail bareback in a halter alone!

Those are the two ways that I've found that work best and on the most horses!

If it is not your own horse, you´d better check back with the owner and/or trainer, how to work on theis problem.
The 2 tips are great, but make sure you´d be allowed to use them ;)

Another thing: He's barn sour, but instead he wants to go to his pasture. He's trotted once (only a stride) but most of the time I have to circle him at least once.

Horses that are buddy sour when you're handling them are horses that aren't paying attention to you. Just get their focus. Ask him for lots of transitions under saddle, backing and going forward and listening to your body language on the ground, talk to him and get that attention on you.
Kuewi is right though, and to add on, definitely talk to your trainer and/or the owner about teaching you how to work through this, as trying to train a horse without supervision if you yourself aren't sure what to do is a pretty good way of making a bad situation worse. Keep safe, and good luck!

When I have a buddy or barn sour horse they tend not to like to get away from the barn where all their buddies are becuase once they leave they have no freinds and on top of that have to do work. I like to take them out of the pen saddle them walk to your normal riding spot and stand there for five minutes do nothing go back to the paddock or barn and then make them do work you can do this with lunging as well and even if you do work outside of the padock do it after in the paddock as well that way they may not be so excited to come into the paddock and do not look at it as an escape. it takes time however I have found it very affective on most horses some are ust too stubborn.
