Default Respect Issues...need advice

I've tried to lounge him but I really don't know how to do it correctly. He goes to the left perfectly but he will not go to the right. I believe no one has ever taught him to lounge correctly in either direction. But yea, I do plan to work on him with that. I definitely could use some pointers on lounging correctly though.

Madder- His pasture is well over 100 feet on all four sides. It's kind of big, but not really, cause most of it is trees. He has access to to Bermuda grass hay 24/7. (It's a round bale) and I feed him just a taste of Strategy once a day. I use one of the small feed scoops and just fill it up half way. Just enough to get him to come to the gate and stand quietly while I check him over. I'm not stuffing him! LOL

Thanks ya'll. Anyone else have any advice or tips?

P.S. How can I control him effectively? i.e. leading, tying, grooming, and even petting him.

Thanks in advance.
