How does pavement get cracked?

Typically, water seeps into a small crack in the pavement. As water freezes, it expands, making the crack bigger. When this ice melts, a greater amount of water can get into the enlarged crack. This process repeats, each time making the crack larger. Of course, other factors such as erosion of the underlying surface and even earthquakes can cause pavement cracks.

You can walk your horse on the pavement, it will not hurt it. Even if your horse does not wear shoes they can be safely walked on pavement. Just be careful that the horse does not slip if the pavement is wet or slippery and its not a good idea to trot or canter on pavement for very long of a distance.
