Although Horton was born in St Helens, Merseyside, he moved to Jersey in 1945 and was brought up and educated on the island. He was assistant and later professional at Ham Manor Golf Club near Worthing, Sussex for many years, before moving to Royal Jersey Golf Club. He celebrated 25 years there as professional before his retirement in 1999.
He played on the European Tour for many years with moderate success, winning four titles and finishing fifth on the Order of Merit in 1976 and tenth in both 1974 and 1978. He has been more successful as a senior player. The European Seniors Tour was founded shortly after he reached its minimum age of fifty, and he was the dominant player in its early seasons, topping the money list in 1993, 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999. He was top of the tour's career money list for many years, before being overtaken by Carl Mason in 2007.
