Spawning first monotub with hpoo, Need some advice.

I've followed along with a few monotub Teks here, but most people spawn Coir/Verm. I have about 20 lb of Horse poo which should be a more desirable substrate right?
My plan currently is to pasteurize the field soaked manure for about 2 full hours.
Should I mix it with Verm, Perlite, or Coir? Or should I spawn directly to the Hpoo?
The stuff I got is not straight poo, it is already mixed with a bit of the soil it was laying on.
I'm planning a ratio of about 1:1 so 5 quarts WBS to 5 quarts poo. Is this unnecessary? I'm going for a faster colonization and want the lowest chance of contams.
Last question, My jars hit 100% colonization this morning. Do we let WBS jars consolidate at all? or just spawn as soon as it hits 100%. I was planning to give it an extra day just in case, or should I wait a whole week extra like with PF tek?
Anyone got a good Horse manure Tek I could reference.

Yep.

1.5 hours. Going over is actually detrimental.

I'd do 2:1:1 poo:verm:coir. If you get some straw that's really awesome, and I'd do 2:2:1 poo:straw:verm or coir.

As long as it's just a little bit it shouldn't hurt anything. It's field-aged and doesn't smell like shit, right? Just smells like dirt?

I like to give an extra day or 2 to just make sure they've had time to secrete some oxalic acid and start to break down the grain, but definitely not a week.

Oh, I forgot, you'll do better with a 2:1 bulk ratio than a 1:1. 1:1 won't get you a better yield, and you might take 1 day off colonization. Not worth it for double the yield IMO.
