It's used as a figure of speech these days, but yes, horses typically were sent to the glue factory or rendering plant back in the days when they were mostly used as work animals.
There are three main types of Glue; Water based, Solvent Based, Chemical curing.
Water based glues are made of natural or synthetic polymers, mixed in water, and are used when one of more surface is porous (e.g. wallpaper paste). They are slow to dry and will not stick non-porous materials like plastic. Water based adhesives are typically made of Water, Polymer, Thickener, Additives to improve strength
Solvent based glue are a synthetic adhesive polymer mixed in solvent. They are used to stick non-porous surfaces and are fast drying.
Chemical curing glue involve creating a chemical reaction, and sometimes this involves the use of an additional ingredient as a 'hardener'. They are particularly powerful and are also fast bonding.

Some glues contain gelatin, which can be made of crushed horse hooves, pig hooves, muscles, etc. All the nasty byproducts of the meat industry.
But like others have said, the regular Elmer's liquid glue is horse free.

Elmer's glue is made from MILK. Note the sour milk smell. Elmer is Elsie the Cow's (Bordens' spokescow) husband. Did you know that Elsie and Elmer have two children? Do you know their names?

Not much any more. Hooves used to be used, but modern synthetics work better and are cheaper.
