Spoiled only child

If he's abusing the horse I'd also try to get it on tape and turn it into the authorities as this IS a crime and he shouldn't be allowed to own horses.

But if this kid is abusing the horse, the ASPCA or the Animal Police will see something wrong and lock him up. THEN maybe mommy will realize her darling boy is not so darling.

Have you tried facing the kid head on? Tell him in no uncertain terms that others don't like him and why?

I choose not to deal with people like this. Life is too short to have people like this around. Put them on notice and get rid of them. Mom is an enabler and her son is a jerk. There's no reason you have to tolerate this.
