If Mary and Joseph left Bethlehem to flee to Egypt, as stated in Matthew's Gospel, they would certainly have walked, since travelling on horseback would have drawn attention to themselves.If Mary and Joseph left Bethlehem to return to Nazareth via Jerusalem, as stated in Luke's Gospel, they could have travelled on horseback if they had sufficient money to afford to do so, but Luke's Gospel tells us they were so poor they could only offer two pigeons as a sacrifice in the Temple. In this story, they must have walked from Nazareth to Bethlehem and then back again.

Who ordered the census which brought Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem?
According to the New Testament, Syrian Governor Quirinius called the Census, see Luke 2:1-7 below. Secular Historians note that Quirinius only called a census in 5 C.E., which would have been too late to be relevant for Jesus' birth.Luke 2:1–7: In those days a decree went out from Emperor Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration and was taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. All went to their own towns to be registered. Joseph also went from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, because he was descended from the house and family of David. He went to be registered with Mary, to whom he was engaged and who was expecting a child.
