Old burlap sacks or moth-eaten used Army wool blankets, tied to ropes behind a tractor, ATV, or tolerant horse, and dragged around everywhere, will pick up virtually every burr. Then you burn them. This tip from my late father-in-law who cleared 80+ acres of burrs.

[@margaretporkolab7166]

That is interesting. I'll keep that in mine if I every need to use that idea.

[@carolemuenzer5490]

Sheri Lynn that is good advice and makes sense, those burrs do catch on to blankets and fabrics.

[@TheFarmonRoute66]

GREAT TIP WE WILL HAVE TO TRY THIS BEHIND THE WHEELER

[@sherilynn1310]

@@TheFarmonRoute66 I'd love to see if it helps as much as my FIL said it would. You have to do it several years in a row but eventually you won't see them. The old wool blankets are probably harder to find now. Old clothing is supposedly in great oversupply now, so maybe you can find alternatives.

[@craig5477]

Great tip!

[@craig5477]

Forty years ago I bought a 7 month old filly that had Doc Bar in her pedigree as well as a few other quarter horse greats. We named her Doc Bars Saucy Socks. She was a golden palomino with white mane and tail a white star on her nose and 3 white socks. At 2 years old I put a halter & lead rope on her & jumped & laid across her back. She turned & looked at me then went back to grazing. So I threw my leg over and sat there. She turned & looked at me again. She acted like she could care less that I was on her. So I reached around & tied to loose end of the lead rope to the other side of the halter & gave her a little squeeze. We took off k like she had been waiting for this day. I could walk into the pasture & whistle. Her head would come up, she whirl around with her head & tail held high and run to me at top speed only to whirl around butt first a few steps from me. I would scratch her. The more I’d scratch the lower she would go until she was laying on the grass. I could set on her stomach while scratching her and she’d lay there as long as I’d keep it up. The most remarkable horse I’ve ever been around

[@hotwireman49]

I owned a gorgeous red dun mare named Doc's Grand Missy. Man that was one beautiful mare! Chrome all day long!! She wasn't very red for a red dun. Same thing, 3 white socks and a pretty blaze face. Super looker!

For removing burrs spray the mane with WD40, and then you can then pull them out easily.

[@drddianesbryant]

I’ve always heard that “If you can’t fix it with Duck Tape or WD40, it ain’t worth fixin!” 😂

[@nancylaino712]

Baby oil works well too.

[@debolson2720]

Cowboy Magic makes a great detangler. I have used it and it still takes some effort but the burs slide out (with some patience and picking). We spend time in our pastures chopping out the cocklebur plants before they make the burs. After a few years attention to that process we have almost no burrs in our horses manes and tails.

[@margaretporkolab7166]

When cut out any nuance plants I put any kind of oil. On the stock lift and it drains down into the plant and their roofs which eventually kills the system.

[@hotwireman49]

I had Goat Heads on my ranch. No problem for the horses, but my Springer Spaniels suffered terribly with them. It took a few years before they didn't come back. Had to get them before they went to flower. hate those things!! Then there's those weird corkscrew things. I forget what their called. They're straight on the plant, but when you pull them off, as they dry they turn into a cork screw. Kinda neat the way nature works.

[@margaretporkolab7166]

[@femalecrusader8389]

Best use to remove stickers, burrs, sap or tar, use a good conditioner or grooming oil and also can use a grooming comb. Work the oil in little at a time as you work out the spurs and for harder to get out add more oil. let it soak in. Also another trick to avoid the mess is braid the mane & tail. Hope this helps. 🐴

[@margaretporkolab7166]

Also show sheen out into the tail and main works wonders too

[@tgrif04]

when we moved from Alva, OK to Kentucky, my Dad brought his registered quarter horse mare.The only stud in the area was a registered albino palomino so he bred his mare and the palomino 2 times. He got 2 buckskin colts which became mine and my brothers horses. We had those horses for almost 18 years Our neighbor had a unregistered quarter horse mare which was bred to the same albino palomino. They were like triplets. We had many good years with them. I really enjoy your channel-brings back a lot of good memories.

[@rosemarymurphy916]

Always braided the mane before you turn them out in pasture it will help plus have a hot wire around the fence to keep them away from wire fences. Beautiful horses and good quality .

[@DS-ky9dl]

Thanks for the tour. Your horses are beautiful...Miss 66 will be lovely. Good idea about Peaches. There is no point in riding her at that young age . Letting her grow up some is the best thing for her. For the burr's perhaps spraying with Show Sheen or applying coconut oil would help.

[@eileenshaw5960]

Miss 66 is a beauty. You must be very proud of her. I think that she is a keeper.

[@Bodiy]

Before you cut them off pour a lot of baby oil in the hair and work it in and leave it and the burs will soften up and you can pull them out gently use a ton of oil and the burs will eventually fall apart you have to leave it in for several weeks and just keep putting more in when you see it drying out it takes so many years to grow back a mane and tail

[@joanrath126]

The roan is adorable.we kept one mother an foal together forever.they were always very close an joys to ride

[@sharonjamison97]

Use a sharp pen knife use it to cut down through as if your combing the mane,it takes time but it works great for burs and mats.

[@pennylane428]

Hi Alan, I saw your horse w/ a roached mane and recalled when I first started showing horses at a young age in a 4H riding club in the 70’s we all roached the manes on our QH. Thankfully It changed after a couple years and we only roached the Bridle Path. My horse was a two eyed Jack mare descendant passed down to me. She was like riding a rocking horse, smooth in pleasure and excelled in halter and all around ranch horse w/a big beautiful heart…I always felt safe and trusted this horse more than any I’ve ever owned. Oh my goodness I just saw the cockleburs 😬 a healthy dousing of mineral oil softened it up on my llittle filly. I’ve learned to braid preventatively cause so much work! Good luck Alan🤞🏼

[@chayacuevascohen2219]

I often used spray-on hair conditioner on a matted tail or a tail or mane with burrs. I also use a very wide tooth comb and start at the ends. I also use conditioner on both mane and tail whenever I bathe them. That helps to keep the hair smoother so the burrs are easier to remove. Finally, I try to eradicate any burr producing plants. I know I can’t get all of them but I try to keep them under control. You have very beautiful horses and your love for them shows.

You must be very excited about the condition of Miss 66. She has a great deal of muscle tone and seems to be compact so I'm betting she will not only be extremely powerful but very fast as well! Her rear quarters are insane! Absolutely beautiful little filly, and with her breeding I bet she is worth a great deal! Well done! You must be very proud at your accomplishments as a breeder? Heavenly Father blesses those who live right and manages his hurds!

[@mobility63]

Unfortunately unless a horse has a show record to back up her breeding, she's not worth as much as you might think. I used to think that way, but unless you get points on them, it won't mean much. She might have some value as a broodmare, but then you have to breed her with a well known champion stallion with stud fees north of $10k. Sadly AQHA is all about big money. Priced me out of showing again

Greetings from the Mountains of North Carolina...! Today I have a "correction" comment for you....but first, I'd like to say how impressed I am with the horse rescue aspect of your farm. So great that the family is so into it....and your wonderful gentleness of nature and voice is a real plus for all the animals that come to you for care. Now, the correction that I would like to share, pertains to something I heard you say a few weeks ago. I thought that it may have been from speaking fast on camera...or just not paying attention....but then I heard you say it again today on this episode ! When it comes to breeding horses....if you want to be true and correct..... a horse is "OUT OF " the Mare.... (the Dam) ; and " BY " the Stallion.... (the Sire). Busted out laughing when I heard you say that little 'Miss 66' was 'out of' your stallion...!!! One of the best ways to deal with the "burdock" plant....is to go out into the fields during the summer....and chop them down before they bloom and make the 'burs'. It's a big job...but after a few years....no more burs in manes and tails...!! One last thing....all Appy's and even Appy Mixes have a " short scrappy " tail....!!! Good Luck - Take Care - Stay Safe

[@kathryndejaeger1002]

When I had horses over 10 years ago, I used a product called Laser sheen. It came in a quart bottle that you added water to so that quart would make a gallon of the mixed product you sprayed on your horse. It sure made quick work of getting burrs out of manes and tails. The only thing with is, you have to be careful not to spray it on their back or barrel area if you wanted to ride. It made those areas very slick and shiny and impossible for a saddle to stay put lol. I thought it was very cost effective since I was on a budget at the time.

[@juliederry3719]

All the horses are beautiful Alan, one thing l noticed about the foal is how much muscle she has for a young horse, she’s chunky it’s amazing, that problem you have all l can think of is either a few of you spending time on cutting those plants down, or braid the horses mane and tail see if that works, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧

Sorry to hear that

[@vgil1278]

Horses are always exciting to me! I had cockle burrs terribly, and would attach to any kitty and had to be cut out. A yard is handled differently than a pasture but every couple weeks I would walk around my yard and dig up any seedlings, put them in a garbage bag and add them to the garbage. If they were in flower, I was careful not to knock them around and cause the seeds to drop. After a couple years they were almost gone. I kept looking for them for years because the seed would blow in from other yards. Babies have somewhat different leaves than adults so get to know them. No cat would stand for all the hair pulling when I tried to get them out, so they got shaved. Maybe you could enlist your kids to walk or ride with you. They are tall, so that makes them easier to find. I never used herbicide because it does something to the soil that ruins it. Everyone gets a big garbage bag and pruners.

[@emilyrudd254]

We have burdock in our area. I use cowboy magic but they are such a pain to get out now matter what you use. Lovely to see all your registered horses. Just a little tip, when talking about pedigree we usually say by the stallion and out of the mare.

[@InTheGarden1960]

I used to be a dog groomer and I raised Arabians, we bred for the show ring, so any way the best tip I can give you for taking out briars and such is to get a good large ✂ ✂. Hold them open just as seen here in the icon. begin at the top of the tail or mane and pull downward to the end of the hair. You will have to do this many more times to loosen the hair ball, but at some point the hair will separate from the briar's and you will be able to comb it all out. I learned this as a dog groomer and have used it many times on the manes and tails. Hope this tip helps you get those mats out it does work really great. Best wishes and love the horses you have.

The black spot on the haunch of that chestnut mare is known as a "Bend Or spot", named after a chestnut TB stallion, Bend Or, who won the Epsom Derby in 1880 and had these black spots in his coat. I don't know if I'd breed a 15 year old mare that had never foaled. Might be asking for trouble you don't need. The only way I know of to reduce cockleburs is to get on an ATV pulling a cart early in the season and routinely chug around your pastures, uproot what you find, throw 'em in the cart and haul them off somewhere to compost or burn. Takes up time, but so does yanking them out of the manes and tails of your horses. We used to soak the burr mats with baby oil and leave them for a day before brushing.

I am prejudice to Palomino's. Years ago we had a registered quarter horse named Ligtning Dan Too. He was a stud and was rode in Lapeer Days parades, good comformation, very tall, and exceptionately gentle even around little ones. We also had a mare quarter horse named Poco Del Bear who was gentle, rode western or english, and threw beautiful foals with Dan. We had a total of 3 registered quarter horses plus Lightning Dan Too and a shetland pony. We miss them but after our girls grew up they needed more attention than my husband and I could give them.

I had a Doc bar mare. Docs Jessie J Tivo. She was hard to ride. The black mark on your one mare Jessie had one also. Some one said it's the mark of Doc Bar. IDK about that. I traded Jessie for a 4 year old best horse I ever had. Sight unseen. My heart horse Saige.

It's been years since I had horses. I had a paint mare that was bred to a Driftwood stud. Beautiful paint colt built right and his head was perfect. Now I could be wrong... But the man who owned the stud said Driftwood goes back to King and that's what he was breeding back to. He has since passed I hope he made his goal.

I made the mistake of plowing a field that had some cockleburs. They germinated and instead of just having a few spots of them I had a pasture of solid burrs. A disaster.

Usually I use a Farnum product called Farnum Ventolin Concentrated Instant Detangler and Conditioner . Does not take much

Good morning. Sometimes shaving it off is better to start over. We had a Mare from Doc Bar. You have Beautiful 😍 Mare and fillies. Penny should have some gorgeous babies. God bless.

I was a farm hand for a year for the vet of the Kansas center for Equine reproduction. That vet also breeds quarter horses.

3 grand is not bad. A ranch I worked at raised throughbreds and 20thousand plus was their going rate but the prettyest horse I ever saw was a regesterd 1/4 horse cutting horse that was black with a gold sparkel that would shine in the sun he was pretty I watched him at the trainers and he was good but you better hold tight because he would cut on a dimeall and all I still love my leopard appaloosa

Dusty Baker at Cross Timbers Bison sprays to keep the burrs out of his fields to prevent them from getting in his Bisons hair he has a video on it

My Arab could find the cockle burrs anywhere. I used Show Sheen and it saved his tail but unfortunately I had to roach his beautiful mane. Show Sheen worked well with patience. Love the filly but all of your horses are so pretty. That filly looks like a champ.
