Manure is just processed grass or hay. Horses will do this for a few reasons. They are bored, hungry, need some sort of mineral and are trying to satisfy the need. It may just smell appetizing to the horse. Mostly horses eat manure because they are lacking nutrients somewhere in their body. If you are asking this because your horse does it try giving him or her a salt block.

Do you die when you eat horse poo?

Horse feces are mostly just fermented hay/grass...so, assuming that the horse wasn't recently wormed or given medication that is toxic to humans (and is expelled intact through fecal material...which is unlikely) consuming poo would not be deadly. I doubt it would be particularly heathly to eat it.

Can you die from feces?

No. Not unless you ate something poisonous and then ate your feces, but if it was a poison that would make you die... You would be dead before you could eat your crap. It also depends what happens between you and the feces. If you shove a bunch of it in your mouth, then yeah, you'll die. But if you just touch it or eat it, then no, you cannot die from feces. But if it is something else's feces, then there is a slim chance.
