How do I get cuckleburs off a horses face?
This is referring to the horses that I mentioned in my last question. One of the horses has cuckleburs on her face & on her bridle. Can anyone tell me a way to get these off without losing the horses trust?
put a little baby oil on the burs. they will lose their hold and you can take them off without your horse even noticing.

Put on some gloves and pluck them off quickly. Then give the horse some oats.

Just rub her face and pull it off, then rub her face again.

I would just use a comb, it pulls through the hair without pulling the hair and lifts and pulls off the cuckleburs in one sweep. I use the same thing to get the stickers out of my dogs' hair. Be sure and rub her face again after you are all through

i wouldnt think you would lose a trust by taking them off..
Use cowboy magic detangler. It works wonderfully and smells awesome.
If shes head shy just coax her. you should be able to get them off without problem
