This seems to have been removed in version 4.0.0.3 (or earlier?).
See https://bugassistant.libreoffice.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60858 .

Recommended workarounds:

o Apply a top or bottom border to an existing paragraph or to an 
empty paragraph inserted for the purpose. You can apply this on the 
Borders tab of either the paragraph or paragraph style dialogues.
o Go to View | Toolbars > | Drawing to switch on the Drawing toolbar 
(by default at the bottom of the window). Click the Line icon at the 
left of the new toolbar and drag a line where required. Hold down 
Shift as you release the mouse to achieve an exactly horizontal line. 
Right-click the line and go to Line... to adjust its properties.
I trust this helps.
