Re: brown stuff & composting

Sandra writes about fresh and composted horse manure.  I have a similar question.  A friend who is a vet emphasizing homeopathic treatment has offered me manure from her stables.  She is a sqfooter and is enthusiastic about the fact that her horses get blue green algae in their diet.  Will this fact be an advantage to the garden as she believes?  Also, if I get the manure directly from her stable, should I allow it to compost or age and for how long?  When I do use it, should I apply it directly to the garden or add it to my compost pile?
