A graduate of the University of Guelph in 1964, Horner worked for 25 years in Mississauga as a veterinarian. He also served with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and was a member of the RCMP Veteran's Association.

He was elected in the 1984 federal election at the Mississauga North electoral district for the Progressive Conservative party. He served in the 33rd Canadian Parliament and was re-elected in the 1988 federal election to serve in the 34th Canadian Parliament under the revised boundaries of the Mississauga West electoral district. Horner chaired the House of Commons Standing Committee on Justice and the Solicitor General in 1989 and again in 1991.[1]
