Default Fresh horse sh!t

I have just found a source of fresh horse-doo-doos. This is taken from
the paddock rather than the stable so no straw, shavings, urine etc. just
the poo, very fresh.

So, can I put it straight onto the veggie beds, or do I need to let it
rot down a bit first? Opinions seem to vary.

Used fresh, it will burn plants. It needs to mature, maybe a couple of
months.
