I'm starting my garden and my neighbors have horses.

Does horse manure make a good compost for the garden?
Are there any special steps I should take before using it?
Is it possible to use too much? I have really bad soil where almost
nothing grows.

Yes, horse manure is excellent. As others have mentioned, it does tend
to carry weed seeds unless thoroughly composted.
