If the burr is not close to skin or bone then it shouldn't hurt. However you may be able to remove the burr by using mane and tail detangler and working the burr out by hand, which would be kinder to the horse.

Is the mane of a Bay horse black?

Yes. It is possible to have a dark base color and a light mane and tail color for a horse. ADDED 8/7/10 It is possible to have a dark base color and a light mane and tail color for a horse (flaxen gene), but it is NOT possible for a true black horse to have a white mane and tail, or even a brown mane and tail. It can sun bleach a bit, but will darken back up as new hairs grow in. It will never be white, unless coated in snow. The flaxen gene, which is what gives a horse a lighter colored mane and tail, does not affect black pigment, only red.
