Parametrize the horizontal line as $z=t+ib$, $t\in\mathbb R$. Then $e^z=e^t e^{ib}$, and $e^t$ takes every positive real value exactly once. The image is
$$
\boxed{\{re^{ib}:r>0\}.}
$$
This is the <ray> with argument $b$ modulo $2\pi$, excluding its endpoint zero. As $t$ increases, the image moves outward from arbitrarily small to arbitrarily large radius.
