Well not by choice certainly but the only real defense you got on a horse is speed. The problem though is you can't keep at a full gallop all the time or you'll kill the horse and put yourself afoot.

So what if you're just trotting down the trail after a long day of foraging? You're tired, the horse is tired, you're hauling a whole case of twinkies and suddenly a dozen or so Zombies pounce out from the bushes on either side and glom onto your legs and saddle? Seems to me there'd be a fair chance that at least one of them would sink a tooth somewhere before you could accelerate out of there and knock them all off. - checkmate.

Me, I prefer an armored roadwarrior type vehicle like Task Force envisions. Even stationary you're only vulnerable if you have to leave it. You can carry more weaponry, more loot, more people, more everything, and if zombies get in your way you just run them down and squish them.
