When they sweat the loose lot of needed salt to help their body's.
salt is a solid but water is a liquid
There is no difference, really. The salt licks that are given to cattle are the same ones that are given to horses. Horses may get a smaller salt block, but other than that, the mineral content is all the same.
I do! I admit I made an assumption here that we are discussing a block of salt. If you plan on actually licking your horse, you should also leave the horse there when done licking it, although I would not lick most of my horses. They tend to roll in things that are not lickable.
A solute is the substance disolved in a liquid in solution; it is often solid. For example, NaCl, or table salt, is the solute in a salt water solution.
Salt is a crystalline solid in its natural form.

Signs and symptoms of salt deficiency in dogs that may lead to excessive licking behavior include increased thirst, weakness, lethargy, muscle tremors, and seizures. Excessive licking can be a sign that the dog is trying to compensate for the lack of salt in their diet.
Table salt is a solid.
You can provide a mineral salt block free choice - your horse will generally eat enough of the block to supplement the missing minerals. You can purchase a mineral salt block at most farm supply stores - they will be the reddish-brown blocks next to the white pure salt blocks. In addition to the above answer you can also buy a 'ration balancer', which is a pelleted feed that can be given to horses to make up for what they are lacking in their diets. Research shows that licking blocks (Salt or mineral) can cause a horses tongue to become raw and therefore will decrease their use of it over time, which means they will become deficient in those minerals again.
Cows are easily able to lick enough salt from a block to sustain them long term. Horses lack the ability to lick enough salt from a salt block, so most do better with loose salt. However, the ingredient (salt) in a horse salt vs. a cow salt is the same. Mineral blocks and loose mineral is different for cows and horses. Cows and horses have different mineral needs, but their requirement for salt is similar. Yes. Salt blocks are standard for both cows and horses: there really is no discretion as to whether a particular block is better for horses than cows or vice versa.
