Default Re: I have 1 cu yd of composted horse manure(60%), what to do??

Yes, the breakdown of wood chips/shavings uses a lot of Nitrogen and will rob it from the soil or whatever is available. Well, guess what has tons of Nitrogen? Urine...from a horse or otherwise. Now, there might not be enough urine soaked into those chips, but you can blend lawn clippings in there as well. If it is broken down it should be fine even without the horse urine. I'd say go ahead and use it. It should be fine.
