I haven't seen any; plenty of steer and cow, but not horse. Any of these will work. I used bagged processed (composted) cow manure this spring to start a lot of my in situ seeds. It worked like a charm. Bovine compost usually runs a higher ratio of nitrogen, sometimes double that of horse, so if you have nitrogen-sensitive plants some dilution might be necessary. I haven't found that a two inch layer applied on top of garden soil to be detrimental in any way, though, so if that's what you can get it's worth a try.
