I wrote an Attached Property for this purpose to reuse it on every ItemsControl containing an ScrollViewer. FindChildByType is an Telerik extension but can also be found here.

 public static readonly DependencyProperty UseHorizontalScrollingProperty = DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached(
            "UseHorizontalScrolling", typeof(bool), typeof(ScrollViewerHelper), new PropertyMetadata(default(bool), UseHorizontalScrollingChangedCallback));

        private static void UseHorizontalScrollingChangedCallback(DependencyObject dependencyObject, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs dependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs)
        {
            ItemsControl itemsControl = dependencyObject as ItemsControl;

            if (itemsControl == null) throw new ArgumentException("Element is not an ItemsControl");

            itemsControl.PreviewMouseWheel += delegate(object sender, MouseWheelEventArgs args)
            {
                ScrollViewer scrollViewer = itemsControl.FindChildByType();

                if (scrollViewer == null) return;

                if (args.Delta < 0)
                {
                    scrollViewer.LineRight();
                }
                else
                {
                    scrollViewer.LineLeft();
                }
            };
        }


        public static void SetUseHorizontalScrolling(ItemsControl element, bool value)
        {
            element.SetValue(UseHorizontalScrollingProperty, value);
        }

        public static bool GetUseHorizontalScrolling(ItemsControl element)
        {
            return (bool)element.GetValue(UseHorizontalScrollingProperty);
        }
