The sentence "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse" is an exaggeration (not meant literally) to emphasize the level of hunger. Hyperbole is a rhetorical device that uses extreme exaggeration. Juxtaposition involves placing contrasting elements together, analogy makes a comparison for explanation, and direct address is speaking directly to someone/something. So this is hyperbole.
