I’ve never tried to remove wallpaper from horsehair plaster but I would think steaming would be the least harmful to the walls. Scraping and/or chemical pealers would most like damage the plaster.
check with a pro first to be safe!

I battled plaster walls all thru my 1968 built house. I ended up putting up 1/4 inch drywall over all my walls that were an issue. So much easier to work with!
No matter what anybody tells you it will be difficult unless the wallpaper happens to pull off. I agree with Maria above. Cover it and go on down the road to the next project.
