I can unserstand why the OP is upset...but it's better that a youngster is taught repect than have it grow into a much larger, much stronger 3/4 year old with no manners and an attitude problem!

I think we're in total agreement on that one. But I don't think that is what happened here. The YO taught this horse no useful lessons at all.
If a horse on a yard is a problem, then everyone who handles it has to co-operate on sorting it. If you don't use a common approach you can make the problem worse.
I didn't take this as a thread on how to stop this foal misbehaving at feed time, so I'm just commenting on the situation described.
