It's an example of something called parallel evolution, a case where two completely separate species develop a similar trait in response to their environments.

Horses have a relatively long snout in part to aid in reaching down for grasses and low-lying plants. Sea-horses have developed a similar snout for reaching into small underwater crevasses where food might be lurking.
