Normally horse nettle would controlled with 2-4D which you cannot apply to clover.
You can use 2-4DB Butyrac® 200 but the label does not list horse nettle as being controlled.
I would certainly give it a try though unless someone knows of a better option.
There are certain times that are better for controlling HN as mentioned in this link: Controlling weeds
Note: that link is not about controlling weeds in clover...I added it merely because it mentions timing of spraying horse nettle.

Will roundup (or a knock-off) kill horse nettle?? I have a huge problem with HN and lamb's ear. I sprayed with Big n' Tuff about a week ago and the plants don't exactly look 'doomed' yet. It's making me nervous. Man, I must be bored out of my mind to keep such close tabs on dying weeds. ha

I would say that it would be pretty unusual to find a plant that couldn't be killed with the proper dosage of Roundup (and surfacant).
Some plants and brush require a higher dose of course but if the horse nettle is not in a clover patch...Roundup ought to do the trick.
