Captain of cricket at Shrewsbury School in 1854, Horne appeared for Cambridge University between 1855 and 1858 in eight matches that have subsequently been designated as first-class, playing as an all-rounder: a lower order batsman and a bowler.<ref name="ca"/> Three of his matches were the University matches against Oxford University in 1855, 1857 and 1858; his record in these games was not distinguished, but in other matches, he twice took six wickets in an innings. He also played once in a first-class match for Cambridgeshire in 1858 during that team's fleeting status as one of the first-class counties.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/1/1112.html | title = Scorecard: Surrey v Cambridgeshire | date = 17 June 1858 | publisher = CricketArchive | accessdate = 11 June 2014}}</ref>
