Oil up!. Great for really badly knotted hair. Tip is to use virgin olive oil – not baby oil (mineral oil) and yes things like “No-knot” products are good but they don’t condition like olive oil. And its cheaper and you can pour it on liberally

Wash it with shampoo and a heavy conditioner, leave the conditioner in for a few mins before you rinse it out. While the tail is wet spray it with ShowSheen, then use some Cowboy Magic detangler (or any other oily detangler), then just work on getting the knots out with your hands, it may take a long time but you should be able to work out most of the knots. Use a ton of cowboy magic (i've used an entire bottle on one tail before), it works really well, start at the bottem of the tail and work your way up.
I had a horse that its entire tail was one big knot. I spent about 3 hours untangleing it all, it was almost to the ground it was so long. I then leased him out to a girl and she cut off his tail so it was only like 4 inches long. I could have strangled her. But anyway, it will just take time, don't cut your horses tail, it can take years to grow back. Also a horse with a short tail will be hard to sell, and will look bad in shows.

Hair conditioner....or detangler. Spray it on the knot and keep working at it until you get it out. Remember to hold onto the base of the tail so your horse doesn't feel you pulling the hair.
