Horse manure mixed with straw, pine shavings, saw dust or anything else can be added to your garden even if it has not been aged. It is better if it sits in piles and gets a bit heavy and gummy. I've been using it at all stages for decades. It is not hot even when fresh. All manure is not created equal. Horse manure should be looked at as a soil amendment and not a fertilizer. I work tons into my gardens in the fall. If the horses are on grass and weeds you will bring in some seed. The benefits far out-way any drawbacks. Till it in and reap the rewards.
