It can help if the dirt in your garden is bad but horse manure has a lot of acid in it and can be too acidic for most plants. Cow manure is much better. Composted horse manure is excellent. if the pH drops below 6.5 from adding ANY maure or fertilizer, you can compensate by adding lime.

answ2. Horse droppings are a useful fertilizer, for they contain much organic matter, and may also have urea with it. It may also contain weed seeds.

ans 3. Horse dung is good for roses, but disappointing for really hungry plants. Weed seeds need not be a problem; if you compost the horse manure the temperature inside the heap will kill the seeds.

The best fertiliser I have found is lamb's dung.

Yes most animal manures eg chicken,cow, pig are good for the garden.

Animal manure has been used for centuries as a fertilizer for farming, as it improves the soil structure, so that it holds more nutrients and water, and becomes more fertile. Animal manure also encourages soil microbial activity which promotes the soil's trace mineral supply, improving plant nutrition. It also contains some nitrogen and other nutrients itself which assist the growth of plants.
