There is no option in Mouse & Touchpad Settings to enable horizontal scrolling in Ubuntu 13.04+ (Raring/Saucy/Trusty) (GNOME 3.8+):

Mouse & Touchpad Settings

No horizontal scrolling even by enabling two finger scroll or content sticks to fingers.

How is it possible?

There’s a way through dconf Editor; so:

open dconf Editor through the Dash;

go to org > gnome > settings-daemon > peripherals > touchpad;

check horiz-scroll-enabled, as you see in the screenshot.

Enable horizontal scrolling

Edit:
Dconf Editor was pre-installed on 13.04, where I first faced the problem; but on 13.10 and 14.04 it’s easier to use gsettings, see Samuel Cavazos’s answer.
