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.
They simply are not the same in any kind of way. The name Sea Horse comes from the shape of the animal's head.
