Early life
Horler was born 8th October, 1975 in Waimate, New Zealand.

Career
Horler was a New Zealand Junior Squad Squash representative from 1993-1994. He finished runner up in the New Zealand Junior Squash Age Group Event for Under 19 boys. Horler was then accepted to the inaugural class at the Sports Institute of Otago as one of 25 New Zealand athletes chosen nationwide and the only squash player. While attending school at the Institute, Horler then won the next two New Zealand Under 21 titles in a row, 1995 and 1996, winning both finals in five games over Clayton Campbell (1995) and Nathan Sneyd (1996) respectively.

Soon after graduating from the Institute, Horler turned professional and found his way to New York as an employee of the Union Club of New York as an assistant professional. Horler then entered many professional doubles tours, and in 2003, was ranked as high as the worlds second-ranked team with partner Clive Leach. After several seasons together, in the 2001-02 season they finished silver medalists at the World Championships in Toronto, losing in the final to the Worlds number one ranked team at the time, Gary Waite and Damien Mudge. Together with Leach in the 2002-2003 ISDA season they captured the Creek (later to be named Players Championship) title, the Canadian Doubles title and the Kellner (soon to be World) Cup in New York, in the last two events avenging defeats to Waite and Mudge.

His career was cut short by subsequent knee surgeries and Horler retired from the ISDA tour in 2006 after playing his final seasons with Canada's Mike Pirnak and Irelands William Hosey.
