I would think it will be fine, but if worried do a bean test on some first.

Cow manure is wet(ish), horse manure is dry(ish).  I think mixed it would be just right for your allotment..

Cheers,  Tony.

On our site the chaps have recommended I get stuff from a local guy, cow manure with some sweepings from another animal, cant remember which. This stuff has a name too which escapes me. Apparently the cow dung is fab for the soil, but ive yet to try it oit for myself.
