Manure as Fertilizer?

I used to be pretty good at slinging horse sh*t on my garden. You just put it on in late fall, til it under and plant in the spring.That way you can use fresh when applying.It wont be too hot since you have all winter for it to break down and enrich the soil. The horse sh*t I used also had small wood chips and sawdust in it. That helps the soil stay broken up, especially if your soil tends to clay.
