Greetings from the Critique Club!
As a former horse trainer I know exactly what burdox are all about; I've teased so many burrs out of manes and tails and forelocks and overgrown coats that, unless you wear an old slicker, you're going to be covered in the remains of your work. Best thing is get them out and then use ShowSheen but you probably already know this. Even better yet, go and uproot burdock plants in the fall fom the pastures when they're brown and brittle - they'll pull out easily.
Ok. Onto the critique. Damn shame that this did so poorly but glad to see Poshumous recognized what you were doing and gave you a Posty, which is almost as coveted as a *real* ribbon here. I believe the main problem here is that most probably see only an oof mess. I know a horse's tail and rump when I see them! You know enough to know that you could have made this much more obvious, but didn't, hence the Posty. Composition is cleverly done, exposure is spot on, but being oof has landed you in position for the much-coveted brown ribbon...think I still have the gif for it as I have had some browns come my way too :-)
I can't imagine where in the world you are now, but I hope you are shooting and learning and having a fine old time!
