For the horses we use pine shavings as bedding for them. Back in Europe the farmers did not like to spread out the horse manure mixed up with pine shavings. They said that it makes the soil very acidic and they always preferred horse manure with straw bedding. The funny thing here in the US is that farmers mainly want the opposite: horse manure with pine shavings, because it breaks down more easily and the mushroom farmers want the horse manure with straw bedding.
