A horizontal merger occurs when two competing businesses join together and form a new entity. An example would be Apple computers joining together with Microsoft computers and forming a new computer-based company called AppleSoft (or whatever). Issues arise as to whether the merger will constitute unfair competition or an unreasonable restraint on trade. Basically, there are guidelines in place to prevent monopolies from forming (except in certain areas).
