Never have understood why anyone would compost manure before using, especially horse. Its not very powerful to start with, and composting will use up all the nitrogen, so you end up with soil amendment, not fertilizer. Its not great as a fertilizer when fresh, but will help some if you put on plenty. There's enough undigested plant fiber in it that it makes a pretty good soil loosener in the process. Cow is much better, chicken is the best.
BTW, don't use the solids from separated cow manure- local guy with many cows put in a separater about 20 years ago, invited all the area guys to come get the separated solids free, for their fields. They were lined up, with their little tractors and old manure spreaders- almost like a tractor show. That lasted exactly one year, because they got zero fertilizer value out of it. All the nutrients are in the liquid.
