Split Horizon as I know it is a technique used by some routing protocols to prevent routing loops. I'm not sure it can be applied to load balancing two ISPs. Maybe you should look into specialized hardware to solve this issue. Link load balancers like

way to use different ISPs for Internet traffic is by applying for a dedicated AS and IP-range and use BGP to route the traffic over the different ISPs but this is very difficult to set up so unless you're system is highly mission critical I'd go for dedicated hardware solution.
