I would say the answer is yes they do, but it's not really a good diet for them. Rice straw doesn't provide much in nutritional value to a horse. It is better as just a bedding then any type of food. Given the alternative I believe the horse would chooser any other type of legume (grass, hay, alphalfa, etc) but when no other option exist I am sure a horse would munch on whatever is available, specially if they are locked in a stall and bored to tears.
Horses can eat rice straw, but it is not a common feed option because it has low nutritional value and can be difficult to digest. It is often used as bedding or forage for livestock other than horses. If a horse consumes rice straw, it should be in small quantities and monitored for any adverse effects.
I've honestly never tried, but whereas rice is a type of grain I doubt it would be good in high quantities, if at all. I don't think rice would be very healthy anyway, so I wouldn't suggest it. My opinion is to play it safe and stick to classic feeds--experimenting on horse diets can be dangerous/deadly.

Do horses eat straw?
Actually, if there is nothing more interesting to eat, cows and horses will certainly EAT straw. Straw is often used as bedding in horse stall, and many horses eat it. However, straw has about as much nutrition as foam packing peanuts and horses and cows cannot live on such a deficient diet. It's a bit like asking if children eat dirt. Of course they do, but they couldn't live on it. Hay is the proper fodder for farm animals. No, farm animals like horses and cows eat hay, which has nutritional value, but do not eat straw.
