Yes Patrick this is a possible hazard, of small risk but worth checking for by growing some beans, peas or tomatoes in any suspect horse manure before spreading.
The active ingredient is aminopyralid, google that to discover more, and it’s written up on this site after some of us had problems.
I don’t want to discourage use of horse manure, but it’s good to check.
