  Using the Lanczos method in linear chains we study the double exchange model
in the low concentration limit, including an antiferromagnetic super-exchange
K. In the strong coupling limit we find that the ground state contains
ferromagnetic polarons whose length is very sensitive to the value of K/t. We
investigate the dispersion relation, the trapping by impurities, and the
interaction between these polarons. As the overlap between polarons increases,
by decreasing K/t, the effective interaction between them changes from
antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic. The scaling to the thermodynamic limit
suggests an attractive interaction in the strong coupling regime (J_h > t) and
no binding in the weak limit (J_h \simeq t).
