Any ideas for getting rid of horse manure

It will just add to the compost. Any organic matter is perfect.

Ok thanks

Ok do I need to use any product to make it compost?

Nope! Just let the piles sit and they'll compost by themselves. You can turn them every once in a while to speed up the process. Like @TropicalBabies said, you can add water for moisture if you notice it's way too dry. If you want to you can also add bedding, and bedding from chicken coops to the piles too. I also add leaves, pine needles, and basically any organic material to the piles.

We compost and sell our poop.
Been making much of our feed costs back the last few years.
We finally built bins out of pallets, more organized than a pile. We have regular customers and a waiting list.

We were so excited to be left with huge piles of composted horse manure lolol. My garden this year is the best it has ever been! We aren't planning on getting horses but my aunt who is one property away has 3, so after the piles run out I have an endless free supply from her!

It's the best! Well, because it can come in such large, constant quantities lol.

We live near the ocean and it is pretty hot and dry most of the year. Not a worm in site. Sad lol. Now we have a thriving eco system. I love it! Worm galore!
I compost my chicken poop, nesting mat and kitchen scraps in a tumbler and green waste in cold compost bins that I toss fresh h poop in to speed up. Love capturing that carbon!

We use quite a bit of the composted manure in our gardens, beds, orchard and pastures. Plus we also bag and sell some of it. It is something else to keep the kids hands and minds busy. While showing them how use a waste product. To help offset the cost of keeping their horses.
