In 1941 he volunteered for the Canadian Army. He went overseas for four years and was discharged as a Captain in February of 1946. Horner then joined the Saskatchewan Department of Agriculture. He was appointed Deputy Minister in 1952 and served in that role for 20 years. His appointment was ratified under Tommy Douglas and he served under four premiers and five ministers. Horner contributed to the founding of the Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute, the Western College of Veterinary Medicine, and the Gardiner Dam. He also served as chairman of the Saskatchewan Research Council. Horner retired from the Saskatchewan Public Service in 1976. He was awarded an honourary Doctor of Laws degree by the U of S; the Saskatchewan Order of Merit; and was appointed as a Distinguished Agrologist and to the Saskatchewan Agricultural Hall of Fame. Horner died in Regina in 2007.
