Fortunate man... Horse manure as you describe it pobably the best manure
going!  Horse manure is fairly high in nitrogen compared to sheep and
cow so it's good for any garden.  However, if it isn't well
rotted...weeds may be a problem because a horses stomach will pass
seeds.  It will be a welcome addition to any orchard.
