Cockle burrs are the seed pods for the plants. The only way to keep them from spreading to your home pasture is to rake them up and burn them. leaving them around is on the ground is just spreading them. Good luck.

[@terriefaddis6107]

Between their ears down their face is called the forelock. The hair on the pastern is the fetlock.

[@phyllisraeglabe3081]

Fetlock is by their feet, the forelock is up between the ears.

[@stardust949]

Fetlocks are on the lower legs, aren't they? Forelock on the face. 💖 I'd be tempted to take some clippers to their legs at least.

[@elizabethjanik510]

Her bangs are called her Forelock.

[@Poppy_love59]

If you have a head trauma and have a headache afterwards, there a probability that you suffered a small concussion!

[@wackyrice1]

. . . Burdock in the forelock. Fetlocks are on the feet. A nicely roached mane gives the neck a nice arch. Very easy to maintain.

[@anitawhite3486]

Oh wow Alan that looks painful. You take care and God bless you.

[@sharonandersonfrommayettak6336]

Hi Alan and Vicki. I just love your farm and the rescuing of the horses. I grew up with Registered Quarter Horses and my dad was a 50 year breeder. When we got cuckle burrs we used WD40 spray on their mane and tails and they pulled out great. We would put the cuckle burrs in a coffee can and gas and my dad would burn them. Your farm reminds me of my childhood . And the red metal comb is for shedding hair on one side and the other is a sweat scrape. After a bath you. Use the smooth side and scrape off the excess water. God Bless you all and keep up the great work. Take care. Sharon Anderson from Mayetta Kansas.

[@sharonandersonfrommayettak6336]

Please respond to me. Thank you.

[@TheFarmonRoute66]

We have used the same some people are critical of it but it works great

[@sarat.7301]

I have a scar under my left eye from an unexpected head swing.If you're going to have horses, you're going to have battle scars lol. Glad you're ok, the horses are looking fantastic.

[@alysiachristensen5475]

Gosh…. I hope you feel better soon! It is dangerous working with horses but I’m sure that you feel like it’s worth it! God bless you guys!!! 💙💙💙

[@elizabethjanik510]

Their Fetlock is down around their pastern it's the just above it.

[@carolinepetersen1452]

Maybe Avon Skin So Soft original scent bath oil will help. After you remove the cockleburrs soak their manes and tails with the oil. Have heard it helps keep flies away too. Best of luck! Such a prickly and tedious chore but it must give them great relief when it's done. Take care!

[@indytreedog]

Hey Allen. Love your channel. I’ve been a horse owner for many years and have owned and worked a lot of horses. I do want to tell you that their is a product that women use called “skin so soft” that works very good in helping with cocklebur removal. I put it in a spray bottle and spray them down and with a little pressure they pull right out. Hope this helps. Lowell

[@kimhollenbeck6954]

Oh ouch Alan that looks bad,I will pray that you heal up soon

[@karolmiller6984]

Hope you feel better. The horses look much better after getting the burrs out. Love your crazy dance. Have a good day

[@kimhollenbeck6954]

That is good to hear that the burr bushes have been dealt with

[@Peggy30]

There were stickers all over our property when we bought. We took old carpet, laid some chain link fence on top of it with some cinder blocks. Then drug it all over the pasture. Took a few years and several times a year to get rid of all of them. Love the Crazy Dance. lol Sure hope your head is better. Wow!

[@shazzylynne]

This! My grandpa did the old carpet behind the tractor… a shag works fab!

[@marciking8052]

Lol The Crazy Dance! You and Jason at coghill farm have the moves Poor Vicky ,she is so worried!

[@suzeewills1249]

I took a 3 day class in the 70’s with a trainer, Monty Foreman, and learned you ride my mare with a twine only instead of a bridle. She only used a bozell, she never had a bit in her mouth.

[@jamizimmerman8501]

Fortop on head. Fetlock is the hair on the back of the lower leg by the hoof.

[@femalecrusader8389]

Glad you are ok. I had my foot crushed from a horse step on it and wouldn't move or pick up. After that time I can tell you when bad weather coming.

[@pjk1714]

Get a cheap spray bottle and use some coconut or olive oil. Doesn't take much and good for mane. Braid after to simplify and collect those so they don't come back.

[@katherinegregory4783]

You’ll want to pull all the cockleburr stalks and burn them before they go to seed. You’ll have to do this a few years in a row to really get rid of them

[@melissaspake7727]

The burrs ARE the seeds, so they have already gone to seed

[@tycox2444]

Nice Dance there Alan. I hope you feel better Alan.

[@PatriseHenkel]

The burr plant is probably burdock, and the root is edible, quite sweet & medicinal, common in spring tonics and good for the liver. If you can dig them up you’re more likely to be rid of them, since that root grows bigger over the years. Check it out!

[@ritacadoreth1023]

Also think about digging out the bushes out and burning them is a safe place. I dig out a few every year and slowly have less each year. It's a job but easier than taking them off the horse.

[@burtonmclean2160]

Back when I still had horses I used to say “It’s not if you’re going to get hurt, it’s when are you going to get hurt and how bad!” Even with gentle horses!

[@kirstenbowman1199]

To help get the burs out, use baby oil - saturate area with the oil then use a come to get them out.

[@HumesLittleHomestead]

So glad you are ok!!! Our dogs get those cocklebur too, it's the worst!! No matter how much you brush them they get them every spring. We burned a lot of our weeds last year that really helped get rid of a lot of them on our property but I don't know how that would even work for a large field.

[@dianehutcheson5931]

Glad you are ok , I remember this same thing happening to me n my lower lip swelled up huge, but I also saw stars ✨ it almost knocked me out cold , thank God no lost teeth. ☹️

[@barbdougherty5946]

It is called forlock, fetlock is part of the lower leg

[@cnahorses]

I LOVE IT!! thank you so so much for the shout out video 🥰

[@JLC87420]

lol I already knew where that dance came from when you mentioned it, can’t wait to see her sale video from the Pitzer ranch. Well at least she didn’t run completely over you lol.

[@sonjag.8686]

Great Job, you do with the horses👍🏻 the burrs on all of them looks like a crazy hair do on models on the runway! What often makes me think, that’s „interesting“ nobody would cary that! ✌🏻

[@mikehenry6284]

LOL 🤣 Your so cute (funny) Alan, the cockle burrs are in her "forelock" her "fetlock" is above her hooves 😀. And I'm assuming you learned the crazy dance from Amry ❤️ she does the best dance I've ever seen 😂! It's hilarious to watch, but it works! I had two rope horses that had a roached mane. Alan be careful. Love and Blessings to all my farm family on Route 66 ❤️🙌 Jennifer

[@mikehenry6284]

OMGOSH ALAN, YOU ARE THE BEST! 😂 And I agree with your beautiful wife Vicki ❤ you look just fine with your pants rolled up. I think poor Vicki is going to freak when she see's your poor cut up face. Take care Alan, hope your headache goes away. No matter how well trained a horse is.... accident's can always happen. I realize this video is about a year old, I mean you don't even have Eho anymore, but I just wanted to say how amazingly beautiful your farm looks now 😀 it was always nice, but from then to now, is simply amazing! There's always work to be done on a farm, it just takes time and a lot of $$. But all the work you guys have done....it truly looks beautiful. I love y'all so much ❤ You're an awesome, loving, Christian, proud to be an American family 🇺🇲. Love and Blessings to MY farm family on Route 66 ❤️🙌 Jennifer ✨

[@rosiedepetro8674]

Go Alan go... drop it like it's hot. You got the moves. I'm older than you so I'm glad I don't have horses because if I did 'the crazy dance' I'd throw a few joints out of wack. LOL. It's a good thing, Alan, that the horse did not hurt you on purpose as it would of been worse. I belive that the soda & kiss will help you heal right up. Oh & the advil. Lol.

[@cheriehayes9026]

Good job with the crazy dance Alen.. It makes since also.

[@fawn9882]

The crazy dance is hilarious, love it !!! I'm going to do your crazy dance to see how my 15 months old grand daughter react , ha ha ha !!! 💖💖💖

[@TheFarmonRoute66]

😂

[@tikkathreebarrels]

That's one supremely understanding wife you've got there.... good on you both.

[@karenthomas2302]

Omgoodness I think that crazy dance gave ya the crazy face. lol as for the folded over pants my brother wears a few this way, lol specially if it’s been raining and he is mucking the stall. 😂 BTW hope ya remembered to get the pup out of the trailer. 🤣🤣 Tfs hugs to y’all.

[@TheFarmonRoute66]

We remembered! 😂

[@aletademarco9899]

Was so sorry to see your injury. Sure hope you are feeling lots better! You are actually lucky it wasn't worse. You have to build up to doing those things with horses not handled daily, not just one day do it. I am surprised with what I see you all do you have escaped wire injuries pray you folks stay lucky. You can also use mineral oil on the horses names and tails to get them out.

[@julierussell8876]

Vick does look cute today 👍🏻👍🏻. Allen that bash looks so sore. You may want to get your nose/cheek x-rayed incase you have a fracture. You can get concussion from these kind of accidents, one that comes on slowly so be really mindful of how you are feeling.

[@ChristaErdman-og8mv]

I know this video is older but I just watched it - Love the crazy dance!

[@barbara565]

Alan, If you put babyoil,coconut oil or olive oil on the manes or tail they will pull out easier.

[@pjk1714]

That's what we did. No worries compared to something like WD40.. We used a spray bottle.

[@Cricket2731]

Maybe lanolin oil would work, too?

[@hummingbird275]

Maybe a good quality fabric softener would help to loosen up the cockle burrs so removal would be more nearly possible. Mowing the green cockle burrs plants BEFORE the burrs “ set on “ is a sensible preventative measure. That’s what my dad used to do on the farm.

[@kimhollenbeck6954]

Alan the fillies on the trailer are beautiful

[@janetesser6929]

I wish I lived close to you.I love a deep clean. Cockleburs have nothing on the variety that grows in Mi

[@marjoriemoore8010]

Hope you feel better soon! Take care .

[@deannaharrell6803]

Alan the dance might be crazy but I don't think the dance is the only one.....The horses are in a mess. Lord knows you have your work cut out for you. Love to have fun. Great video ❤️🫶❤️ North Carolina 🇺🇲🙏

[@charlesbrand6901]

Vicki is not going to be happy and she will be concerned. She loves you that much. God bless

[@1caramelle1]

So glad you are ok💙💖

[@robertschmidt9032]

Removing Cockleburs We have found a way to remove the cockleburs from horse manes and tails. You will need some inexpensive tools: cooking oil/corn oil, a squeeze bottle and a horse hair comb or horse hair rake. Pour the cooking oil in the squeeze bottle. Start combing at the bottom of the mane or tail and comb up to the bottom of the burr or mat. This way the bur will slide free of the rest of the hair. Pour the cooking oil from your squeeze bottle just above and onto the mat and burs, doesn’t take much. Use the comb or rake to comb out the burs from the mat. It takes some coaxing.. May be something to try. Thank You for another great video

[@florencesmith4142]

I throw something out of whack just watching you dance. You really have some very interesting moves to say the least . Thanks for sharing and giving me my laugh for the day.

[@susanmathis7561]

Try to get some Gliscerin and por a lot on main or tail or where ever the bures are and start on the outside or bottom and go slow!!

[@erinroesch7376]

Pink hair product spray or cream is awesome for burrs and matts . Isn't nasty like wd40.

[@micheledavis7591]

Braid the main and forelock and put nylon stockings on their tails. Burrs are much easier to remove.

[@michellecrosby3717]

Very good idea, but people think I'm wierd.

[@billsmith5401]

Forelock is the part of the mane that extends between the ears and hangs down the forehead. Fetlock is the joint above the pastern on the leg. Pretty basic!

[@wayneking7050]

lol live and learn

[@hummingbird275]

Like bangs on a girl’s hair

[@michellelenz1178]

Love your channel! Have you thought about burning out your pasture for the nasty weeds? The acreage we bought had this problem too. I have spent many hours raking and pulling and spraying the weeds. My dogs are a natural magnet too. Quick healing Alan.

[@sharonhopeweaver6139]

Easy way on legs is to shave the legs down. Roach mane up by the poll. (By the ears) roach from behind ears down 5”-6”! That’s helps you, but cuts a bridal path!

[@quarterlimit5838]

If it were me I’d roach the mane but keep the forelock until I get those burs under control. I feel your pain! I was clipped on the chin by a spooky gelding years ago, cracked 2 molars and I had to have them pulled. Just glad it wasn’t my front teeth😆

[@donnakytle6595]

So sorry,hope your okay.God Bless.

[@art-is-lazy4509]

Your need to spray or chip those burs before they seed or you'll just keep going backwards with them.

[@denisetimpani8065]

Alen oh my goodness, dude are you ok, aww Vicki give Alan a big kiss and make it better 😘. What did Blake say? Till next time. Be safe and God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️ ✨️ 💖.

[@michellecovington_]

We got my Palomino back in March. She sat for a little bit before we bought her but after the first couple rides with her, she decided one day to buck off my husband. I understand that horses have their vices and spooks, or even just off days. However, ever since that buck my confidence level has been as low as it gets. I’m almost afraid of even catching her and brushing her off. She’s a very sweet, in your pocket, kind of mare but it definitely startled me. Any advice?? Alan, very nice dance 😂😂 just checked our Amrys channel. And I think Mrs. Vicki’s reaction was a lot cooler than what mine would have been! Lol be careful, Alan.

[@stardust949]

Check the horse and make sure she doesn't have pain somewhere---the one and only time I got bucked off was my fault. I was inexperienced, saddled the horse incorrectly----and the strap was hurting him. He let me know.

[@thomasjohnson6165]

Oh my goodness, the happy dance is impressive lol. You could do dancing with the stars lol.

[@margaretporkolab7166]

Wow I had to comment before the video. Someone didn't like the crazy dance. And she will not happy. Do not feel bad I'm 64 in July and I still roll up my pants. You have got some fancy dance moves there and take it slow around them. Another secret is hand all kinds of flapping stuff around the fields and barn this will help the babies as will to get use of unexpected movements. I put some by their feed and drinking area. That is some nasty hit you got. Looks like Coco Braziel must be looking down on and laughing seeing the new new version of the famous "Coco Butt". I'm glad it wasn't worst. Thank you for this very interesting video. I have seen the video of Amy's crazy dance. The only thing that should have been mention is to move slow at first. Because horse can swing there hind end so fast you would see it coming. We use to play kick the ball around the horses in the space about 70 x 100 and let them run around. Some times the ball will roll under and around their feet. If the ball was airborne it would it the walls or rafters and make noice. Or even bounce off them. By the end of 3 months they were in a parade of 150 and between 1000s of people with balloons and flags streamers. Anyway. Great video. Hit if you let oil (bady oil hair conditioner) soap for a few hours will make it easier. And if you can cut those cockleberry bushes out before the go to seed and burn what you pull out of their mains and tails so they don't grow. Have fun wish I could help.😊

[@TheFarmonRoute66]

Perfect thanks

[@janicecoxharrell8570]

It will continue to be a problem every year if you don’t stop the plant. It may take several times to get rid of them.

[@Bridget82267]

Oh my gosh ...... I hope you feel better....

[@PumpkinVillage]

Glad your Ok. That's a lot of cockleburs. Thanks for the video and take care, Al

[@lucdeslauriers1021]

My God! Alan! I will pray for you to be protect when you want to help those horses

[@sonyadeane4852]

There is a spray in a pink can at Walmart in hair selection and it takes those things out so easily. You spray it like hairspray then combs right out. Then call farm bureau and have them put weed killer and fertilizer on the field. It’s worth it

[@debbycolflesh7892]

I liked your “crazy dance”. Sorry you got injured.

[@thomascoyne157]

Hi all hope all your family are ok and doing well, you could use The crazy dance as a form of exercise for both Horse and person 👍👍🇬🇧uk

[@randywilson9611]

Good video good to see y'all

[@karenspeer7378]

OUCH!! 😬 I'm glad you're OK!! Those Burrs Suck!! God Bless 😊⚘❤

[@HappyTrails12]

I just seen your video today and a tip done it for years on horses with bad manes and Tails get a dog shedding comb it's a comb that has does blades in it for mats and stuff in dogs it works great and it still keeps your mane and tail beautiful

[@joycemcgrew2943]

Glad u are ok

[@cheryljohnson2315]

I am so sorry you got hit in the head like that those kind of accidents happen when you have lots of horses it comes right out of the blue and get you I hope you're feeling better. I did want to tell you about those cockleburrs when I was growing up we had tons of them in our backfield it didn't matter how hard we tried they come back one would turn into a hundred but the thing that will work on those horses so they don't lose their manes and Tails is Crisco LeatherUp Crisco really good and let it sit on their main and soften those covers up and you can pick them right out it's amazing anyway good luck with the cockleburrs I hope you feel better God bless you and keep you safe it might have been a lot worse but you had your guardian angel with you ;-)

[@suezettehollinger9804]

[@judishaffer9654]

Can you use a conditioner to make the burrs come out aster, maybe soak the hair with it

[@jesseelisabeatty8205]

I have long curly hair that tangles easy, I use a product on my hair and just apply it and leave it in , my hair don't tangle, I used it on my friends horses mane and tails ( it's safe, it's a human product..it's called.. Garnier fructis sleek and shine anti friz serum with argon oil..it comes in a green pump bottle..( it's slick as anything..) after you get the burs out. Bush it through really good..next time they get burs, they should be alot easier to get out..

[@brucesmith3740]

I know that feeling of having been hit by horses head. When explaining it, people dont understand. Its like getting hit by a truck.

[@kimhollenbeck6954]

I love your golden retriever dog,beautiful dog

I pull them out with a hoofpick, it works pretty well.

[@wildedibles819]

❤😂ok dancing with horses is different lmbo Usually I don't play KZbin in the barn and the animals don't hear a radio I put it on and my friend was singing on a live and my pony did react to it a bit then chilled when he could look at my phone so I kinda get what you are explaining 😂

[@starlenekalinski5633]

Ouch, she got you good. I've been knocked down 3 times from another horse biting the horse I'm leading. Not fun!

[@kimhollenbeck6954]

I love your video and god bless you and your family

[@rebeccamunoz4596]

Ouch ! Those burr things are nasty they have to hurt them too pokey 😞 🤗❤👍

[@ThoroughbredBrenna]

..did you do the crazy dance🙊 around your horse... it's a little sore for a few day's but you survive

[@teresamurray7839]

Can you spray the cockleburrs with a weed killer or burn the plants down with a flame thrower to prevent the spread of them?

[@lindamaskus5142]

Yeah we roached out horses back in the 70's. At that time it was just easier to take care of them. I don't have horses anymore, I'm too old to mess with them😂😂
