Almost every infectable target by default has some way of defending themselves. Players, Piglins, and Illagers have their gear and abilities, Villagers have their Golems, Wandering Traders have their Llamas, and Hoglins have natural weaponry. However, Witches and Horses can do little to nothing against Zombies and their variants. Horses cannot run away fast enough like other passive mobs when damaged and Witches will unintentionally buff Zombies by throwing beneficial potions such as Instant Damage or potions that have no effect at all such as Poison. My suggestion is to make Witches use appropriate potions for fighting Zombies such as Instant Healing and to give Horses a defensive kick that has the same properties as the Goat charge. It does not deal a lot of damage, but it has huge knockback that will give it time to get away.
