finally got it working after many tweaks to the proxy rules, including 
the use of mod_proxy_html to rewrite JavaScript and CSS files, and with 
following horde settings

$conf['use_ssl'] = 1;
$conf['server']['name'] = 'proxy.example.com/application';
$conf['server']['port'] = '443';
$conf['cookie']['domain'] = 'proxy.example.com';
$conf['logo']['link'] = 'https://proxy.example.com/application/';
