No no. Was horse weed not horse nettle. I've been nettled many times and know the difference, but I don't know the botanical name of horse weed. Here nettle only gets about 4 feet tall while weed can get 6 feet and doesn't sting. It is rough as sandpaper.
Could it be equisetinae, commonly known as horsetail?
This whole discussion is a beautiful example of why common names shouldn't be used, even though I did. Is horse tail, the same as mare's tail?

Yes, I would believe that is it.
