How many horses are you collecting manure from? I had 8 or so in my barn & I used shavings for my bedding. Stalls were stripped once a week & everything went into a HUGE compost pile. Every other month, I had a neighbor with a cat tractor come out & ROTATE the compost heap. It got watered 6 hours every other day. The temperature of the pile GOT VERY HOT (a good sign) & once a year, a mushroom farm paid GOOD $$$$ to purchase the whole pile.
Horse manure isn't all that good for plants unless it's composted completely which can take a while. Frankly, it's cheaper to buy a good fertilizer.
