Answer
Dear Delyth

Sorry, maybe it's a language difference between the U.K. and the "colonies', but I can't picture what your mare is doing. You say she "looks nasty"...OK....but then what?  I haven't a clue what "ant tips" is.

For a short answer; I think I would handle the foal a lot.  Get it used to treats, leading, handling, brushing and see if the mare will follow suite.  Meanwhile, what's "ant tips"?

Good Luck
