Finally, something I feel qualified to answer! My touring friend had the Horizon Plus and was pretty happy with them, but struggled a bit on singletrack/bumpier gravel roads, especially when it was wet with slippy rocks/roots. The Venture Roads gave that tiny bit more confidence off-road (could've been psychological, who knows) and were perfectly fine on-road.
I'm not sure about your bike handling skills but as always, YMMV.

Looking for options for a next build in 650x47B, and hesitating between three tyres:
They would be used with tubes at the moment, and my riding is mainly road of various condition but still paved (probably 70% of my riding) and light gravel similar to us fire roads (probably 20-25% of my riding) but with occasional paths with bigger stones and debris or very easy singletrack (probably 5-10% of my riding).
I don’t want a tire that would feel to difficult to ride on pavement (say as a mtb tire), but I don’t want to be limited in the routes I am taking by my tires if they are only road-focused. Also, would appreciate if the tire is reasonably puncture resistant.
Today I think my need and my riding might point toward the horizon, but wondering how the venture is overall as it seems more grippy and more durable. Anyone tried one or the other?
Would like to try wtb as I already tried tires from panaracer (albeit another model), unless everyone say go for graveling sk.
Cheers!
