Undead horses in sunlight, and zombie horsemen

Zombie and skeleton horses should both burn in daylight, but be able to have horse armor put on them which would prevent them from burning.

Maybe zombie horses could even have a small chance to spawn with leather horse armor on.

Perhaps zombies riding zombie horses would have a higher chance of wearing armor compared to most zombies, and if the rider has armor the horse will be guaranteed to wear leather horse armor so the horse is less likely to be killed with the extra swings you would need to take at the rider.

  I think Skeleton Horses are made to not burn in sunlight because they are so extremely rare, and you don't want them to spawn only for them to burn up before anyone's even seen them. That being said, I think a better solution would just be for undead mounts to not burn in sunlight when being ridden. Helmets already protect undead humanoids, riders would basically be the helmets of the mounts.

  Alternatively, skeleton trap horses could just be immune to burning before they are activated
