This mod is part of The Vanilla Experience.
Zombie Horse Spawn is a minimalistic mod which allows zombie horses to spawn with a zombie riding it. Whenever a zombie spawns, it has a chance to be spawned as a rider. You can configure it to only spawn on the surface and if it should burn in daylight.

Configurable: ( how do I configure? )
chanceSurfaceZombieHasHorse (default = 0.05, min 0, max 1.0): The chance a zombie that has spawned on the surface is riding a horse.
shouldBurnZombieHorsesInDaylight (default = true): If enabled, burns zombie horses when daylight shines upon them.
onlySpawnZombieHorsesOnSurface (default = true): If enabled, a zombie horse with rider will only spawn on the surface.
