Most systems, that I am aware of, use vertical-launch but horizontal-launch has been envisioned for many years. Has horizontal-launch ever been successful?

Yes, in the event of plane based launches. Pegasus is the most well known such system.

$\begingroup$ There will be another 'launch' of Pegasus in November, so you can see it in action. $\endgroup$– Tom11Commented Sep 13, 2016 at 12:12
