Is it ok to ask this of my BOs?

I would never fix something that was part of the BO's property without asking, but I will asay that the first time I started seeing ANY burrs on my horse (a couple years ago) I was out in the pasture cutting them and bagging them myself. BO saw me, and they now keep it bush hogged, which has eliminated the burrs almost completely. Only time we get them is if we go "bushwhacking" and trailblazing.
