Funny you should mention this now. We rode there over the past few weeks getting ready for the ride. The main loop by the road has lots of cut down pine tree branches. When we got home we had a mess.

 

But I used skin so soft mixed in with orvus. It took a while but it got it off. I wish someone had mentioned the P-nut Butter before. Well guess I should have asked. But I will try it Sunday.

A note from a Montana person, try using peanut butter...works well on humans and I would guess that it would work on horses as well.  We use it on our hands after cutting firewood and fence posts...also works pretty good for getting chewing gum out of little kids hair (though they smell a little funny afterwards...)

Any Floridians have a quick, easy solution to get the pine tar off my horse's ankles without pulling out the hair? I tried that, and he was very unhappy, so it obviously hurt.  I thought of trying to clip, but it goes down to the skin. Thanks in advance for suggestions.
