Janice, 
    This is the friend that has a very small area for her horses, right?   
Could this youngster just have a lot of pent-up energy and no place to expend 
it as well as no one to play with?    

Mystic is 4/5 now and she spends just as much time running around the pasture 
and getting Rocky or Eitill to run with her as she does grazing during turn-out 
time.    She has so much energy and playfulness -- and she's a filly and older. 
  This little guy needs to have room to move and someone to play with.    I bet 
that would help his inappropriate behavior(s) immensely.     

When he is ready to be weaned, could you bring him to your place to play with 
Nasi and the "boys" for awhile or something?
