In my experience...
The best manure for the garden... is whatever I can get.
There have been some recent issues over spreading poop from those factory productions...

Apparently... Using the poop from those large operations on a home plot... exposes our garden to various toxins, plus antibiotics and other scary meds...

Rabbit poop is good stuff... if you have rabbits.
The question about horses vs cattle...
Usually revolves around diet... as was previously stated.
Horses are usually treated a lot better, now that they're mostly high dollar pets, and cattle are fed very poorly...

How do you feel about eating meat from a cow that's been fed chicken poop?
They say that we are what we eat...
In general, horses poop is .05 N And cow poop is .05 N... Very little practical difference.
Because there are stables nearby... I use horse poop on my gardens.
From a safety point of view, there are people who refuse to use anything that isn't produced on their own property...
Incidentally...
I permit my cats free rein in my garden, to do battle with my rodent problem... That isn't safe either...
