different types of manure / German weighoff results

Hi,
Now, as the weighoffs are over I am already planning for the next growing 
season. I would like to add some manure to my soil this fall in addition to a 
cover crop of winter rye. But I am not sure which type of manure is best for 
giant pumpkins. I have available cow and horse manure. Which of them is better 
and which will break down quicker? What do you think? What is your experience?
Thank you very much,
Martin Reiss
Germany

P.S.: For those of you who are interested: I took second place at the German 
      National Pumpkin Weighoff.

The results ( top five ) were:

1. Eugeniusz Zygadlo 500.9 lbs

2. Martin Reiss      480.2 lbs

3. ? Heckelmann      376.9 lbs

4. Rainer Krautmann  360.2 lbs

5. Michael White     222.7 lbs
