Guernsey started well but failed to take their chances as Richard Pingling gave the hosts a 34th-minute lead.
Noel Fisher put Horsham 2-0 up with 20 minutes left before two goals in two minutes from Pingling and Jesse Sentamu wrapped up an emphatic victory.
"We fully deserved it [defeat]," Vance told BBC Radio Guernsey.
"The only positive thing for me is I know we're a lot better than that, so you can have off-days and today was one of them," he added.
"They [Horsham] had an 'on' day and they deserve their victory."
Horsham are now just a point off Guernsey, who had scored 14 goals in their previous three matches which included a win over league leaders Steyning Town.
Both sides still have 11 games to play, with Guernsey hosting second-placed Haywards Heath Town next week.
"These are the games that you've got to turn up in and we didn't, they did," added Vance.
"However, I don't think it will do us any harm, it's not going to dictate the destiny of the league in any way whatsoever.
"We've had a great run and what we've got to now do is make sure any negative momentum doesn't carry into the next game against what's another very good team and probably the best team in the league.
"But we're at home and what we've got to do is play our game - if we don't play our game then we'll lose because they are a strong outfit like these guys here. We have to take the game to them and we didn't do that today."
